#282| The Perfect Crime

October 9, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 5 Comments

shareasimageHazelAndHubby

Committing the perfect crime described in today’s quote isn’t solely for lovers.

This type of crime can be committed by parents and their children . . . grandparents and grandchildren . . . siblings . . . sorority sisters and fraternity brothers . . . and even best friends!

If you have committed the perfect crime with someone, why not take a moment to let him/her know?

Side note: Hazel and her hubby make very happy partners in crime . . . .

 

Join in the Fray: So . . . with who have you committed the perfect crime?

#281| Just Say Yes!

October 8, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

shareasimageSayYes

Though I’m certainly a great advocate of travel, I believe I’m an even greater advocate of adventure.

Adventures are all around us and can begin at any moment.

Adventures can be as simple as smiling at the guy in the Starbucks line, or taking a different route to work.

Adventures begin when we step out of our comfort zones – even if the step is tiny.

Adventures begin when we say no to fear.

Adventures begin when we say yes – yes to ourselves; yes to life.

Go ahead; just say yes – to adventure!

 

Join in the Fray: What adventure will you say “yes” to right now?

#280| Change Your Mind

October 7, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 7 Comments

shareasimagePointOfView

To me, good health is more than just exercise and diet. It’s really a point of view and a mental attitude you have about yourself.

~Albert Schweitzer

We’ve all pretty much heard the sayings, “Mind over matter” and “you are what you think.”

Albert Schweitzer takes these thoughts a bit farther by sharing his belief that good health goes beyond diet and exercise.

Consider this: good health is contingent on your point of view coupled with your personal mental attitude.

Want to change your health? Change your mind!

Enjoy the little things.

For me, a “little thing” is an ice cream cone or a Grande White Mocha (extra hot, soy, light whip) from Starbucks.

What’s yours?
