2010 A New Decade

2009 has come to an end. Hopefully you were able to accomplish and achieve all your goals.

2010 is not only a new year, it's the start of a new decade. A clean slate, fresh start. The economy has created lots of opportunity for people to try things they have always wanted to try. Start a home business, go back to school, spend time with family. It has given all of us an opportunity to stop and think about what's important.

Are you ready to be successful this year? Are you ready to bring about change in your life? The best way to do that is write down your goals, create a goal board. Then start with the goal that is the easiest to achieve. Once that is accomplished move on to the next easiest.

Also keep a journal. Every night before you go to bed allow yourself some time to write down the POSITIVE things that happened that day. Keeping a journal is a great way to keep track of your success, and for you to see just how far you've come.

There are so many sayings about how to achieve your goals. My personal favorite is one day at a time. Break it down all your goals into small achievable steps.

Happy 2010 everyone!

November

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Time for all of us to take stock of our lives and think about things that we are "Thankful for". If you are on Facebook you will see lots of posts daily from people telling you what they are thankful for.

I think that is a great idea. Take a moment to stop and think about the positive things in your life. We should all take a few minutes of quiet time everyday to think about things that make us happy or grateful.

For me it's a little different. Years ago I read in a book that suggested you think of three things that you are grateful for every night before you go to sleep. What a difference it makes in how you sleep and how you wake up the next morning.

Don't get frustrated with yourself if you can't think of three things every night. Some people find this harder than others. We are all so programed to find only the negative things in our day, that we forget to stop and think about the positive things.

So give it a try. Tonight before you drift off to dreamland, think about three things that you are thankful for.

Kindness of strangers

Yesterday was my dad's 70th birthday. Since he got a free pass our family went to Disneyland to celebrate. It was a beautiful day. Not to hot, not to cold. It was just right.

For those of you that don't know you get a Free Pass on your birthday. So when you check in they give you a button to wear that says "It's my birthday" and your name on it. So every time a cast member see you they say "Happy Birthday!" and address you by name.

It was great to spend the day with family at the "Happiest Place on Earth". As we were leaving Disneyland for dinner in Down Town Disney my dad realized that he lost his wallet. All his credit cards, over $200.00 in cash, his insurance cards etc.

We were running late so my dad decided that we would go eat dinner then he would go back to "City Hall". Lost and found for Disneyland. It was his birthday so off we went to Down Town Disney.

After dinner Tony and I decided to head home, but wished my dad luck in finding his wallet. We got a phone call as we were getting home, and someone (park employee or guest) found his wallet and turned it in. NOTHING was missing. All his cash, and credit cards were still there.

So "Thank you!!" to the person that turned in his wallet. My entire family thanks you and we are all sending happy thoughts and positive wishes to who ever you are!


Please send me any stories you have involving the Kindness of Strangers. I would love to post them.

My first blog

Welcome to Kailea's Korner,


This is my very first blog. I am very excited and nervous. I am a Life Coach and currently working in the Food and Beverage industry.


As you will see my typing is not formal, and I know that I don't always use the correct grammar or English etiquette. That's just who I am. I type the way I talk. I am very down to earth, warm, compassionate, and casual. I love helping people. I love communicating with people.


Need a positive way to view a situation? My glass is always half full. I can almost always make lemonade out of lemons.


Got questions? Send them to me. I would love to post them to my blog with my suggestions. Of course I will remove your name so the information is private. You never know when your question is going to be something that someone else needs to hear.


This is all very new to me and I have no idea what to expect so let's see where this goes.


Life is about experiences and adventure. Live with no regret.




Warmly,


Kailea
