WE NEED TO HIT THE "OFF" SWITCH
We live in a world that is constantly "on" - nothing ever seems to stop - even at night while we are asleep, the other half of the world is working, talking, blogging, facebooking, and generally speeding through life. We wake up and are already trying to catch up on all the things we might have missed out on while we were having the audacity to actually close our eyes for a few minutes!#7 EMBRACE FAITH

FAITH IS SO IMPORTANT
I thought long and hard before I tackled this post because it can be a bit or a tender subject for many. It wasn't even on my original list of things to embrace, but the more I thought about it, the more I came to the realization that we all need to embrace having faith in something that makes us better human beings.

PARENTING STAGES
Mothers Day has been and gone, and it reminded me of the different stages of motherhood I've been through.....and how easy it is to wish time away when life gets a little bit hectic or out of our control. We can start looking back or looking forward to "better" times and miss the lovely moments that are happening right there and then.#5 EMBRACE GIVING BACK - VOLUNTEER

USING WHAT YOU HAVE LEFT OVER
There comes a time in life when you come up for a breath of air and realize that you have all you need and a little bit left over. For some that means they need to keep working until the little bit left over becomes a bigger and bigger bit......for others of us it means that we can slow down a little and look at how we can give something back.#4 EMBRACE NEW EXPERIENCES

DON'T WASTE YOUR ONE PRECIOUS LIFE
Life is short, and reaching the half way point has been a real eye-opener for me. I saw I had stopped growing and was pretty close to stagnating. Sitting still and assuming there is "nothing new under the sun" to quote Solomon - is the worst thing we can do with the lives we've been given.#3 EMBRACE JOY!

THE JOYS OF LIFE
Life is full of Joyful moments - they come upon us unannounced and can sometimes be quite fleeting. If we don't stop and appreciate them, we can miss them entirely. We take so many blessings for granted - our health, our family, our friends, sunshine, rain, laughter, and the list goes on. Sometimes we need to stop the busyness of life and take a moment to smell the roses.#2 EMBRACE YOUR SEASON OF LIFE

LIFE'S SEASONS
Life has a seasonal flow to it - the Springtime of youth, the Summer of our 30s and 40s, the Autumn of midlife and the Winter of old age. Each Season has something special to offer and we would be foolish to try to rush through it thinking "if only...." Because the "if onlys......." stop us appreciating the many things that time of life has to offer us - times and experiences we will never have again. Stop and savour them while you can.#1 EMBRACE WHO YOU ARE

TIME TO EMBRACE WHO WE ARE
I'm so excited now it's May and I have a whole month to write about things that I'm learning to EMBRACE. I don't believe in focusing on things we need to push out of our lives, instead I think we need to open our arms and embrace all the good stuff and it will fill us up until there's less room for the not so good stuff.12 FACETS OF LIFE WE CAN ALL EMBRACE

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED EMBRACING MORE IN LIFE?
My Word of the Year is EMBRACE and I thought it would be interesting to select 12 aspects of life that we need to take ownership of and embrace with open arms and open hearts. So often I hear people complaining about what they don't have - instead they need to focus on all the good there is in life - lets' start with 12 facets we can be grateful for.
