Day 182 of 2025-Hello July and Bye to June

 Hi Friends,

Here we are July 1st. Can you believe it? We’re seven months into 2025, with five more ahead. There’s something special about turning the page to a brand-new month but before we rush forward, let’s pause and give June the closure it deserves.

Take a moment to look back on the month we’ve just lived. Is there anything unfinished that needs your attention? Anything that deserves a final word or a gentle letting go? Reflection helps us tie up loose ends and carry forward only what serves us.

Here are a few questions to guide your reflection:

• What moments in June were truly wonderful?

• What lessons did you learn?

• How did you feel, really, throughout the month?

• What can you release now so you can step into July lighter and clearer?

I hope these questions help you close the door on June with gratitude and intention.

And now July. A fresh start. A blank page.
Take time today to think about what you’d love this month to hold. How do you want to feel when July comes to a close? Who do you want to be as you live each day?

Ask yourself:

• What would make this month meaningful?

• What is one thing you want to do just for you?

• What do you want to celebrate when this month is done?

You hold the pen, write July in a way that feels true to you.

Happy new month. You’ve got this.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 181 of 2025-It's Monday But Your Yes Weekend Is Cheering You On

 Hi Friends,

Sure, the emails are back. The calendar’s full. The coffee’s working overtime. But somewhere inside, I hope your Yes Weekend self is still lounging in the sunshine, taking the long way home, or saying yes to one more slice of cake.

Don’t forget them.

Take a little piece of that yes into your Monday:

✅ Yes to a five-minute break just because.
✅ Yes to a real lunch not just the desk snack raid.
✅ Yes to that playlist, podcast, or tiny ritual that makes work feel lighter.

Why it matters:
Mondays don’t have to be all hustle and grind. When you bring a bit of your Yes Weekend spirit into the work week, you remind yourself that you’re more than your to-do list you’re a person who needs joy, calm, and room to breathe, too.

So here’s to your Monday: productive and a little playful.
You’ve got this, Yes Weekend memories and all.

Happy Monday now go do great things (and maybe daydream about next weekend, too).

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 180 of 2025- Sunday Is Still Part Of Yes Weekend

 Hi Friends,

Sundays can so easily slip into a day of prepping for Monday. But what if you kept saying yes all the way to the end?

A Yes Sunday is about savoring what restores you, grounds you, and fills you up before the week begins. It’s your reminder that rest, joy, and presence matter just as much today as they did on Friday.

Try this today:

✅ Yes to a slow, mindful morning coffee, music, or a good book.
✅ Yes to a walk outside, noticing what you’d usually rush past.
✅ Yes to calling someone you miss, or spending time with people who lift you up.
✅ Yes to unplugging early tonight and letting tomorrow wait for tomorrow.

Why it matters:
Saying yes to what nourishes you on Sunday helps you step into the week ahead with more energy, clarity, and calm. It’s how you remind yourself that your well-being isn’t an afterthought it’s the foundation.

So breathe it in: this Sunday is still yours. Keep it part of your Yes Weekend.
Say yes to what you need most peace, play, or just permission to be still.

Happy Sunday. Happy Yes Weekend. You’ve earned it.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 179 of 2025- Its' Saturday

 Hi Friends,

Friday might have kicked things off, but Saturday is where your Yes Weekend really comes to life.

Say yes to the moments you’d normally brush aside for errands and endless to-do lists. Give yourself permission to lean into what feels good, fun, or freeing today.

Here’s how you can start:

✅ Yes to a lazy morning with no guilt.
✅ Yes to exploring somewhere new even if it’s just your own neighborhood.
✅ Yes to unplugging and just being, without a plan.

Why it matters:
Saying yes to what lights you up is how you refuel, reconnect, and remember what makes you feel most like you. It’s not selfish it’s necessary.

So today, make your Saturday count: do what brings you joy, peace, or a spark of curiosity.

You don’t need a big getaway just one small yes can shift everything.

Here’s to your Saturday. Here’s to your Yes Weekend. Enjoy it!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 178 of 2025- Yes Weekend

 Hi Friends,

It’s Friday, the week’s winding down, but what if you kicked off the weekend with something different? What if you gave yourself a Yes Weekend?

A Yes Weekend is about saying yes to the little things that bring you joy, curiosity, or peace the things you usually push aside for “later.”

Start today:

• Yes to taking the long, scenic route home.

• Yes to trying that new recipe or random creative project.

• Yes to unplugging for a few hours and just being.

Why it matters:
Saying yes to what lights you up isn’t selfish it’s how you recharge, reconnect, and grow. When you give yourself room to explore joy, rest, and spontaneity, you build a deeper sense of alignment with who you really are.

So this weekend, give yourself permission to say yes to what feels fun, fulfilling, or freeing.

You don’t need a vacation to feel renewed. Sometimes, all it takes is one yes.

Have a great weekend!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 177 of 2025- 5 Hour Rule

 Hi Friends,

We all want to grow be more focused, confident, and fulfilled. But between work, family, and the endless to-do list, personal development often gets pushed aside.

Enter the 5-Hour Rule, a concept coined by entrepreneur and author Michael Simmons.

It’s simple: Spend one hour a day, five days a week intentionally learning or reflecting. Not just working harder—but thinking smarter. This hour could be spent reading, journaling, listening to a powerful podcast, or practicing a skill that pushes you outside your comfort zone.

High achievers like Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, and Barack Obama embrace this principle not because they have more time, but because they prioritize growth.

Why it matters:
One hour a day adds up to over 250 hours a year, time focused entirely on becoming the next, better version of yourself.

Try it this week:
Carve out 60 minutes for yourself. Read that book on your shelf. Reflect in a journal. Practice mindfulness. Learn something that excites you.

Have a great Thursday!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 176 of 2025- Early Starts And Hot Days

 Hi Friends,

 I love being outdoors this time of year. Summer where I am means long days, bright skies, and the kind of energy that makes you want to move. But with the current heat wave, it’s a whole different story. The temperatures climb fast, and by mid-morning, even stepping outside feels like stepping into an oven.

As a result, I’ve had to be more strategic. If I want to get in a walk or run, I need to be out the door by 5:30 a.m. Anything later just feels impossible. It’s early, yes, but the air is cooler, the streets are quieter, and it feels like I’m stealing a moment of peace before the day really begins.

The heat wave is a reminder that our routines need to flex with the weather. Being strategic, staying hydrated, and protecting ourselves from the sun can make all the difference and help us keep doing what we love, even in the heat.

Have a great day!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace
