August has no holidays...
Quotes for us to Begin:
Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps, for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they ought to be. - William Hazlitt
Speak when you are angry--and you will make the best speech you'll ever regret.
August is special. I've always wondered why August has been chosen the month of no holidays that many people remember. My calendar remains blank with preprinted material. But as a teacher, August is a month of new beginnings and busyness. I've had the most WONDERFUL summer. It was such a reflective one, that I appreciated every day and yet I still had moments of panic and worry.
How is it that a bird can fly all day and not worry about anything? I mean nothing can possibly be that easy...I find myself being that bird more and more frequently. And you know what it's not so bad....
MYTH ALERT: You don't have to think about something all the time just because you have a brain. I'm surprised about that too. Also...we actually use way more than the 20% percent that has been rumored.
So in August, you will need to prioritize the priorities in your life. What is at the center of your world? My Pastor said ,"You know what's at the center of your focus/time is when y0u look at your checkbook and whoever you write the biggest check to, that's your center."
Wowee...well, car payment and rent are the winners for me.
Jones Loflin's Juggling Elephants is an excellent book that talks about our life as a 3 ring circus. He gives wonderful tips on how to survive the curtain call of life considering you are the Ringmaster. Some tips include: "The key to the success of the circus is having quality acts in all three rings."
"The ringmaster has the greatest impact on the success of the circus" "What have you done to improve your performance in one or more of your rings?" Finally, "People sometimes need to laugh, relax, and not take themselves so seriously."
Madisyn Taylor's Daily Om gives us our task for this month.
Materials: You, a piece of paper, pen or pencil

Her title: Listing Magnificence: Five Things I like About Myself
Step One: Write down at least five things you like about yourself. *NO MODESTY*
Include more than physical attributes on your list. Need help?: Call to mind 5 things you do not like about yourself and find something about these traits that you can like.
Step Two: Continue this process for a week. Thinking of a new set of 5 things that you like about yourself.
Step Three: At the End of the week, read the list aloud to yourself while standing in front of a mirror. *Remember to RELAX*
Step Four: From ARLECIA: Allow the smiles to arrive.
Since we are on the inside looking out at the world we forget to remember that we are phenomenal! Remember love radiates from within!!
Make August the month you make yourself your best companion and supporter, period.
To excel in anything, you must recognize the Excellency in everyone, including yourself.~Arlecia P. Hill
PUSH the FROG by following the 10 commandments as much as possible for the month of August. Some of them should be pretty easy.....others...well do your best! :) I BELIEVE in you!
The 10 Commandments - God's Revelation in the Old Testament
The 10 Commandments are found in the Bible's Old Testament at Exodus, Chapter 20. They were given directly by God to the people of Israel at Mount Sinai after He had delivered them from slavery in Egypt: "And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God…
ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'
TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'
THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'
FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'
FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'
SIX: 'You shall not murder.'
SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'
EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'
NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'
TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'
