Takeaways & The New Show “Takeaways” – Part Three

Since my next blog series is going to be on women and wellness, I thought I’d do my last blog post in this series, “My Takeaways & The New Show 'Takeaways’,” on the segment that Kirk did with his sister Candace Cameron Bure.


Kirk's entire series to date, is really great! He shares wisdom, thoughts, and perspectives with both men and women, and I highly recommend watching.


As a young girl, all I wanted was to get married, and have children. I was not one of those women who dreamed of a “career.” Though I did well in school, I was more interested in the arts, as well as seeking for truth in my life. I learned early on my first year in law school, that man’s laws can be quite different than God’s laws, and through the years, it becomes more and more evident to me.


As a woman, I look out into our culture, and ask where are all the great female role models? As I listened to this interview, when Kirk mentioned the fact that Woman's Day Magazine named Candace their chief spiritual advisor, I thought how terrific!!!


Candace is a mom, wife, “celebrity,” and also a woman of grace, faith, and hope. For me, this was one of my favorite interviews, and I hope that other women, as well as men, enjoy all she shares!

Kirk talks about the fact that people often get angry with those who don’t think like them, act like them, and don't believe like they do. I have witnessed this most of my life, and I do believe that now especially, it is more common than not. Kirk asks his sister,” how does she manage to stay kind among opposing views,” etc...


“A gentle voice will diffuse a situation,” Candace says. Kirk mentions the verse in

Proverbs (Proverbs 15:1 “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”), and they go on to talk a bit about kindness.


“Kindness does not mean you have to be agreeable,” Candace shares,” it just means you have to be kind and respectful.” She goes on to talk about the importance of being calm and also sober in demeanor.


Kirk makes a great point when he says that sometimes one can be kind, and it can “blow up” in his/her face. He asks the question as to "how can we be kind without becoming a doormat for someone?"


Candace agrees that sometimes kindness does not work. She goes on to share that one can still be respectful and kind, but it does not mean one has to be a doormat. One can be kind, and also strong and tough at the same time. Kirk mentions the great Bible verse Micah 6:8 “Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with God.”

Later in the interview they talk about joy. Kirk asks the question to his sister as to how does she find joy when storms are circling around? Candace makes the distinction between joy and happiness, and I do agree, that there is a true distinction.


She says that “Joy comes from the inside and sustains you when circumstances around you are tough/unhappy. Happiness is conditionally based, and that can change at any moment.” She goes on to say there are many days where she may be unhappy, but she still has joy. “The joy I have comes from God.”


Later on it the interview they talk about peace, and how true peace comes from God.

Wellness Wednesday

This week's Wellness Wednesday's topic is "Gratitude."


My Motto is "What we appreciate, appreciates."


Many tell me they do not have time to keep a gratitude journal or a have a gratitude routine. What I say to this, five/ten minutes every morning, and every evening, is not hard to take for oneself to reflect and be in gratitude. What we appreciate, appreciates.


These days, many people find all the time to complain, and there is never any joy found in complaining.


The more we can be grateful - the easier to navigate each day.


My law of 7 and 3:


Upon waking up each morning, I take five/ten minutes to reflect on

1. what I am grateful for, 2. acknowledge blessings, and 3. just breathe!

#gratitude


During the day, I stay present to 1. joyful conversations I am having, 2. words of kindness and appreciation I receive from some of my clients, 3.nice gestures from those I work with.

#joy


What are the top three things I can do each day, to be a blessing in someone else's life?

#blessings #service


What are the three things I worry about, stress about, that I am able to let go of, and allow space for "better" perspective.

#surrender


What are the three judgments I have each day, that I may be "wrong" about?

#rightperception


What are three things I may need another to assist me with today, and who is happy to assist me, if I ask?

#service


Before going to bed, I take 5/10 minutes to reflect on the day

1. what am I grateful for, 2. acknowledge blessings, and 3. just breathe!


Following are twelve of my favorite quotes on gratitude:

"True happiness is to enjoy the present... without wishing for what he has not." - Seneca


"Cultivate an attitude of gratitude, of giving and forgiving. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself." - Ralph Waldo Emerson


"Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity. it makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." - Melody Beattie


"We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses." - Alphonse Karr


"The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest." - William Blake


" Wear gratitude like a cloak, and it will feed every corner of your life." - Rumi


"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for." - Epicurus


" Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
