Quote

“You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.” ~Johnny Cash

​Prompts

Sunday - Read the quote out loud. What is your initial reaction? Why? What about this quote do you agree with? Disagree with?

Monday -  How do you view “failure”? Do you feel guilty or shameful? Do you see it as a lesson you have yet to learn? What are the driving factors behind how you view “failure?

Tuesday - How does this apply to your life right now in this moment? Do you allow your failures to dictate your life. Do you allow them to stop you from trying again?

Wednesday - Has anyone shamed you for failing or making a mistake? What ‘old recordings’ from your past hinder you from taking a chance, a risk? How did it impact your relationships with others?

Thursday - Now think about the reverse. Have you ever shamed someone for a mistake or failure? How did it impact your relationship with that person?

Friday - We expect children to make mistakes and learn from them. Why is it so different for adults? Give yourself permission to make mistakes. How does that change how you feel about failure?
​

Saturday - After reflecting over the last week, what is your reaction to this quote now? What changed? What stayed the same?

Stone - Tiger's Eye

Picture
Tiger’s Eye is a member of the quartz family. It has bands that can be yellow brown, tan, gold, blue, or red.

Tiger’s Eye is a stone that helps bring balance, calm, and grounding. It helps one overcome feelings of negativity, anxiety, fear, and depression.  It brings courage and helps one with new beginnings. It helps you be in tune to your intuition. It stimulates the root and solar plexus chakra, which helps one take action and make changes, yet stay grounded and calm. It helps keep the balance between extremes; light and dark, joy and sorrow. Tiger’s Eye can help you make it through difficult times by giving strength and the will to push through. It also allows you to see clearly without subjectivity. It increases one’s personal power and self-discipline.

When you are feeling like you have failed, or don’t know which path you should take, use Tiger’s Eye to assist you.  You can wear it, or hold it and say this affirmation:

“I embrace my power and use it wisely to make changes. I am strong and listen to my intuition. I am courageous.”

Essential Oil/Herb - Basil

We all have times when something doesn’t go as planned and we feel the stress of failing.  Although it is a part of life and our learning process, it can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, tired, and unable to break the habits that lead us to this point.  Use Basil to give you support in these times. It will help you feel renewed, energized, and optimistic.

Basil essential oil is a powerful oil to have in your arsenal. It helps fight bacteria and infections, can reduce inflammation, assists with digestion, helps relieve congestion, improves circulation, and stimulates the adrenal cortex.

Basil is the Oil of Renewal. It can support you when you are stressed, burnt out, and exhausted. It supports your adrenals and helps combat symptoms of adrenal exhaustion like fatigue, feeling overwhelmed, and no drive. Basil can help bring optimism and help one break negative habits.

Ways to use Basil:
  1. Try a blend of Basil, Lemon, and Peppermint to give you energy.
  2. To feel uplifted and invigorated, use Basil, Grapefruit, Lemon, and Wintergreen in a diffuser.
  3. Add some fresh basil or essential oil to your tomato soup or pasta sauce.
  4. ​Add a drop to olive oil, toss with chopped root veggies and roast in the oven for a healthy, uplifting treat.
  5. Make a caprese salad (tomatoes, basil and fresh mozzarella)

*Please note: Basil should be diluted in a carrier oil when used topically. If using it in a cooking recipe, use sparingly as it is strong.  You can use a toothpick to place in the bottle and then add. Only pure, therapeutic oils should be used internally.

I'll Push You - Book/Video

I’ll Push You  by Patrick Gray and Justin Skeesuck
​

My family recommended this book to me as Justin is my dad’s cousin.  

Justin has always been a charismatic person. He is full of love and life.  Justin has a great sense of humor and loves adventures.

Patrick is Justin’s best friend from childhood. They shared many adventures together and were always there for each other. They bring out the best in each other and have a friendship that others strive for. In college, Justin began to have unusual symptoms. He was eventually diagnosed with a progressive neuro-muscular disease. It left him without the use of his legs and arms, and in a wheelchair. Patrick has remained by his side through it all.

Justin heard about people doing a pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago. He tells Patrick about it and how he thinks it would be an amazing trip. Patrick’s response is simple: “I’ll push you.” This book tells of their trip on the Camino de Santiago. The setbacks, struggles, triumphs, and spiritual realizations. It is a testament to what true friendship, love, devotion, and sacrifice is.  It is a beautiful story that will inspire you and touch your heart. It will open your eyes to how true friendship can change our lives and push us to be a better person.

We all have our own path to walk through in life.  My path is not my "sisters" or "brothers" and they each have their own.  We have discussions, some passionate, some silly, some downright strange.  While open and honest discussion is encouraged, please keep it civilized.  We are not here to judge or criticize. We are here to encourage and lift each other up.

If you have a question, ask it.  We'll answer it if we have one.  If not, we'll help you find one.

If you're struggling, share it.  We'll hold your hand, give you a "hug" and help you through it.

If you are lonely, join us.  We enjoy getting to know new people.  You might make a friend along the way.


Come sit for a spell and join in the conversation.

You can join us over at our Facebook Group too.
