An Oldie, But Goodie

Just in time for summer, I thought I would breathe some life back into a old favorite House of Shine activity

Shineworks.

Rules of play are easy. I name an easily accessible household item and then challenge you to somehow spread Shine using that item. Examples in the past have included things such as:

Brown paper bags

Duct tape

Paper towel rolls

Yellow sticky notes, and 

Tin foil.

You have the month to work your magic - deciding who the lucky recipient(s) will be, what you will create, and when during the month it gets unveiled.

It is the perfect summer activity for:

Kids or grandkids

Friends and colleagues at work

People in your book club or bible study

Campers, girls scouts and boy scouts

Friends on facebook

Or, maybe you will decide to go it alone. Just you, some good music, and a glass of wine.

Whoever you do it with, start your engines and get ready to spread some Shine, but first...

Eat a popsicle,

because the item you must use to participate in this month's Shineworks Challenge is a popsicle stick (or sticks).

On your mark, get set, go Shine.

269 and Counting

 

Two weekends ago I hosted an inspiring group of women at my home so we could brainstorm 365 ways to Shine. Eventually I will share my project with you, but before it is ready, I need 96 more ideas.

Armed with sticky notes and markers, the group of women and I sat poolside and generated all the many ways we could think of to: be a person who shines, do things that shine, and share shine with people around us.

To get our bodies moving we enjoyed fruit, muffins, homemade pumpk...

Blink of An Eye

A glimpse of Shine can present itself in a moment as fleeting as the blink of an eye.

I sat outside Starbucks last weekend reserving a table, while my husband and friends waited inside for our coffee orders to be ready. Call it 8:30 p.m.

Blink.

There was a warm breeze and in the background the soothing sound of a fountain.

Blink.

Sitting on my right were two women catching up and on my left was a family of five.

Blink.

A family...

It's Just a Walk

Happy Memorial Day! Cheryl here!

What I really hope for today is that you are not reading this post but that you are with your friends and family being present in that moment and creating some great memories!

On the 14th, I encouraged you to BE PRESENT and on the 21st, I asked you to CREATE. Two small steps. Are you ready for a third. Don't worry, it's just a walk.

Today, I would really love to encourage you to USE YOUR STRENGTHS. This is not a new topic...
