3 things that changed my life...

3 books/resources that have changed my life!

a new weekly saturday tradition!

each saturday stop by for some random info about the past week -

sometimes it WILL be be boutique related...sometimes it'll just be plain ol personal.

either way, i hope you ENJOY what you see/read!  :)

--------
did you know YOU have control over your life...
YOU DO, you REALLY REALLY DO! 
life doesn't just happen...YOU have the ability to create & shape your life into exactly.what.you.want.it.to.be!!!
how AWESOME is that?!?  ;)

the following 3 resources have DRAMATICALLY changed my life...

  

{available via amazon}

have you heard of the book/movie The Secret? 

 if  not, you HAVE to read it...

or better yet, get the movie and watch the movie! 

it has changed my life!!! 

i was introduced to the secret & the law of attraction by two of my girlfriends, angela & sabrina...

and it has FOREVER changed my life...FOR THE BETTER! {way way better!}

"as you learn The Secret, you will come to know how you can have, be , or do anything you want.  You will come to know who you really are.  You will come to know the true magnificence that awaits you in life."  --from the Introduction

{available via amazon}

i always thought i was a positive person...

but after reading The Power of Positive Thinking i realized that i wasn't as positive about MYSELF as i thought i was. 

start your day out with POSITIVE thoughts,

live your life with that positive attitude!

expect the best...GET THE BEST!

"if you expect the worst, you will get the worst,

and if you expect the best you will get the best."

"by mastering these principles, you will enjoy a delightful new sense of well-being.  you may attain a degree of health not hitherto known by you and experience a new and keen pleasure in living.  you will become a person of greater usefulness and will wield an expanded influence."

-the power of positive thinking

i live 50 miles from the shop - so 5 days a week i have 2 hours of time that i spend in my car.  it was on one those daily drives to the shop that i discovered Chip Ingram, his Living on the Edge teachings are broadcasted on a local radio station at 9AM everyday.  PERFECT timing because i happen to be in my car at that time everyday! 

he has given me a NEW sense of what being a Christian is...

that it isn't about being religious, but rather about being Spiritual.

about having a PERSONAL relationship with God.

he demonstrates WHAT living like a Christian MEANS...

and how to do it.

I LOVE HIS TEACHINGS...

mostly because I GET IT, i understand it!

now...i know i have a looong looong way to go...

i don't understand everything yet and have SO MANY questions, 

but i am working on it!  i am getting there...

:)

here is a link directly to Chip's daily broadcasts

THEY are AWESOME!!

my wish for you,

is that you found some sort of inspiration today in one of these books or through Chip because it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE in a

positive, 

beautiful,

life fulfilling way!

let me know...

i would LOVE to hear from you!!

lots of love & positive vibes being sent your way,

eryn
