Coach Lori Park

Did you ever give a thought to where April Fool's Day came from?

Actually the first day of the calendar year was always April 1st, just after the Spring Equinox.  In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII started the Gregorian Calendar.  This calendar switched the first day of the calendar from April 1st to January1st.

This was quickly adopted by much of the Catholics, but not by the Protestants within Europe.

People who were resistant to embrace this new calendar change became the butt of jokes and hoaxes and were called "April Fool's".

Running low on energy?

Are you taking care of others with no time left for you?

Then the solution is easy, take a healthy time out!  We all need to do this from time to time. It offers us some time to re-think and re-prioritize what we're trying to accomplish.

When you take care of your needs, then you have far more energy, drive, and clarity to help others.  Just like the airlines instructing you to put your oxygen mask on before assisting others, the same is true in every day life.  If you give and give and give, without replenishing yourself, then you end up depleted without the ability to help anyone...including yourself.

Taking a Time Out is not selfish - it's self-love.  The more self-love you have, the more you're able to authentically love others.

Let's face it, the world needs more authentic Love!

You are Unique!

Other people's rules won't properly fit your life.  If other peoples rules were right for your life, your life would have worked by now.

Think for yourself.  Discern what's right for you.

Things may shake around you - Hold Steady.

YOU ARE AWESOME, AND THERE'S NOBODY QUITE LIKE YOU!

There are Universal Laws that are governing our lives far more than man's laws.

These laws focus on Peace, Respect, and Love for all people everywhere.

We need to hold tightly to this truth and practice this truth daily, to be on the right side of Universal harmony and justice.

Everyone is on their own Spiritual Journey.  Each person's alignment has nothing to do with other people.  We are 100% responsible for our feelings, our choices, our actions, and our alignment to Source.

We are evolving to a higher way of living.

Pick 3 times during the day to check in and ask yourself these questions:

Am I staying in "my own lane"?  Am I managing my own emotions?  Are the actions I'm choosing, aligned with Peace, Love and Respect?

If you are, Good Job!

If you're not, don't worry, just redirect your focus.

Ascension Baby!

Spreading the Light

In these dark times with Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the out pouring of light and love from people all over the country is making a difference.

Hurricane Milton was supposed to hit land as a Category 5 storm.  Miraculously, it came in as a Category 2 storm.

Divided we are weak, United we are strong.

We will get through this together!

Each person is very special. 

Each person was born for an unique reason, that only they can give to this world.

Most people don't know what their special gift is until they grow into it.  Their life long experiences are shaping and perfecting their message.

Just like a delicate plant needs to be nurtured, so do each one of us require nurturing.  Many times people are born into a family that provides that nurturing....many times people are not.  While this maybe disappointing, it doesn't have to be devastating.  If you're not being nurtured by other, then that's a clear sign you need to step up and nurture yourself.

You see, in those instances when nurturing doesn't take place, self nurturing is what you're suppose to teach the world.  You can't TEACH what you don't KNOW.  You must learn it first.

Don't cheat the world out of your Unique Gift!

All it takes for Conflicts and Wars to start,

Looking for a few good people with:

Apply within your local School Boards and Municipalities.  Be the change the world is looking for!

We all see things differently, that's what makes us individuals.  We can look at others around us, some people appear to be happy, while others appear to have one challenge after another.

What many don't realize, is how you look at life and the world, is actually playing a part in creating their tomorrow.

How about you?  Does your perspective help you to navigate through life and thrive?  Or are you just trying to survive?

You hold the destiny of your tomorrow.  Don't give too much weight on other peoples opinions about your life.  Because they are not you.  Each person has their own purpose in life, with their unique path to take them to their destination.  Each person usually has different variables in their lives as well.  Example, if they're single or married; children or no children; the amount and ages of people depending on them.

The point is, listen to other people's opinions as only suggestions to consider.  Notice the feelings inside your body as you consider different su...

If there's anything in your life that's making you unhappy, then maybe it's time to change it.

You can change just about anything in your life that you don't like.  Your job, your relationships, where you live, what vehicle you drive, body size, the way you look at things, and even your government.

If anything is affecting the quality of your life, then it's your responsibility to Change it!

Take a step back. Spend 20% of your energy looking at the problem.  Then pick up a piece of paper and spend the remaining 80% of your energy writing down steps leading towards the solution.  Then prioritize those steps.

As you implement those action steps, make adjustments where needed.

You can change ANYTHING, and don't let anyone tell you differently.

You deserve a joyful life!
