What is this? According to my Oxford dictionary it means 1. Good or Bad luck. 2. Circumstances of life brought by this. If you notice neither one of these definitions states what role you may have in creating luck. I say this as I have sibling that says all the time how "If he didn't have bad luck he wouldn't have any luck at all." I on the other hand am constantly surprised at how things work out for me. Currently, I watching how luck plays out with my children. Example: My daughter wanted to buy a bag of toys for our dog. The price on it said $10 and she only had $1.50. I told her she didn't have enough, she was insistent though saying it was in the $1 box. She wouldn't listen to what I was saying, I allowed her to take it to the check out to buy it. It rang up $5.99, she informed the clerk it was in the $1 box, you know what the clerk did, yep changed it and gave it to her for the dollar. I seriously contemplated having her tell the clerk how much my groceries where. Now, I ask you was she lucky or did she create it? I say it is both. She knew it was $1 and nothing was going to change her mind. How many of us can say the same about things we want? Do we have the unwavering belief and faith that it is or do we question? I am beginning to believe that "Luck" has more to do with what we believe and our own belief on "deserving it". Cause if something good happens we question "How come". So my challenge to you this week is create your own luck. Ask for something, believing that it is yours and wait for it to appear.

Comfort Zone
Comfort Zone
I have come to realize that children are here to not only drive you nuts but to push your comfort zone so you will grow. I say this as I have two children that are constantly pushing me to see things from a different point of view or do things that I am not comfortable with. I also think that teachers give homework to the children not for the children to do, but to remind their parents of things they have learned and of skills they have. My daughter is currently working on two projects; one is a science and the other a county float. The county float caused her to cheerful inform me that Utah is huge. If my children were not pushing my comfort level enough I will create a friend or other family member that will ask me to do something that I am currently not feeling comfortable with. Such as performing or conducting a memorial service. (My father-in-law has asked me to do his) I feel I have awhile before actually having to face this particular event. However, I was asked to do one for a dear friend recently (I think this was a test run). I did learn a few things that if ever asked again I would do first. For this I am grateful.
My question to you to day is what have you become comfortable with doing? I am comfortable with performing wedding ceremonies, so guess what, my comfort level was pushed. I told this to you as a warning. If you become to comfortable with something then puff you will be pushed to do that thing at a higher or different way. So be prepared. Getting out of your comfort zone is a good thing though, it does help you grow. Yeah.
Side note: If you don't willingly push your comfort zone, your guides will.
