Welcome Week 1
Hey friend!
Thank you so much for joining Kristy's newsletter. Did you get your free song? I hope so because I love to write something that will inspire you: Songs, blogs, poems, books, anything - I love 'em all!
I'll never forget the moment when my co-worker told me that my blogs and music inspired her to finally start her own business! I was so excited! That's why I started Kristy's newsletter, to help:
-
Motivate you through inspirational music or tips
-
Focus on what's important to you
-
Make your action plan
Look out for emails on Wednesday, the first one next Wednesday. In it, I'm going to share a strategy for dealing with the overwhelming demands placed upon us.
See you Wednesday!
Sincerely,
Kristy
P.S. What is your biggest struggle right now when it comes to motivating yourself? Hit reply and tell me all about it! (Your answer will help ensure that my emails help you get real results!)
Hello, my friend!
Edit
The jasmine in my back yard has really popped in the last two days - it is spreading across the fence, with the most gorgeous aroma. I try to keep the back door open, just to I get a whiff of it every time I walk pass the door. Beautiful aromas are very uplifting and encouraging. Even though summer is all over the place, it's still easy to get in a funk these days. There are so many demands on us that we can find ourselves getting overwhelmed, at times. I think I go a mile a minute from dawn to dusk, and then wake up to do it all over again the next day! But stopping to smell the flowers helps us to focus on those things of importance, adding lots of cheer to the day.
Supportive family and friends do the same. It is said that surrounding ourselves with inspiring people allows us to bloom and blossom right where we are planted, just like the most heartening flowers. We should surround ourselves with positive people, as much as possible, because their optimism can rub off on us! They influence us to bring out the best in ourselves. We all have unique skills, talents, and charms; we just need to continue to develop them to the fullest. I love the saying, "The goal is not to change who you are but to become more of you at your best." So, enjoy the beauty in nature and in the happy, encouraging people around you. Then, just sit back and watch yourself flower!
Do you know someone who could use a shot of optimism, too? If so, could I ask a huge favor? Would you please forward this email to brighten their day and provide them with a lift in spirits? I love to share the song I passed along to you, "Reflection." I hope to reach anyone else who could benefit from a little more peace and calm in their day: http://bit.ly/1freesong. And, please always remember to take the opportunity to stop and smell the roses, you amazing flower, you! Happy trails in your journey of success.

Hello, there, friend!
It has been an action-packed week, including all the preparations for my uncle's funeral. My mom's last remaining sibling passed away and, with all her family gone now, it feels like the end of an era. He was among the last of the WWII vets, the Greatest Generation, as they are known. He loved family, God, country, an everyone he encountered, really. He was a hard worker with the personality and soul of a true friend and happy individual.
He inspires me to want to reach out and continue to inspire those in my circle of influence. In honor of his life well-lived, please enjoy a download of "Let Freedom Ring (Let Freedom Stand)". I think it is important to remind ourselves, "There are no limits on what you can accomplish except the limits you place on your own thinking" - Brian Tracy.
Here's to your freedom, happiness, and your success!

Hi, My Friend!
Edit
I love sheep - especially these sheep! Maybe you have already seen these sheep before but, thanks to an amusing farmer in Scotland with a non-toxic dye, here is a beautiful and remarkable image (rainbow-colored sheep) for which to enjoy sheep even more! I just love looking at them; they make me feel so happy. I put down some thoughts and hope you have a quick minute for a read about these beautifully encouraging rainbow sheep!
Here is an excerpt: "The vibrant colors in this photo capture an exciting reminder that summer has arrived!. With it always comes fun, adventure, beauty and hopefulness; I know I always feel optimistic in the summertime. I love the longer, brighter days, which increases activity and positivism. Although we often think of spring as the time for “spring” cleaning, I find myself getting motivated in the summer to tackle projects, which often include the physical removal of dirt and clutter. But it is also an appropriate time to clean-out (as we do in spring, or summer, in my case) ourselves, emotionally... Everyone has baggage that needlessly gets carried around but there are things we can do to lighten our loads with some spring/summer cleaning..." http://bit.ly/RainSheep
Thank you for your enjoying my songs and blot posts! I'm very grateful to have you on board. I hope you have lots of good things happening this season and I look forward to "seeing" you again in a couple of weeks! Happy trails in your own journey of success!

Hello, again!
Who loves pain? Ha! And that's the dumbest question ever asked? But, I do keep inflicting it on myself when I say I'm too tired to exercise, too busy to cook, too lazy to get off the couch, and too stressed to attack a goal.
Do you inflict unnecessary pain on yourself? Pain can serve as an essential warning for us to course-correct. I like this slogan because it reminds me that rationalization/procrastination only leads to worse pain down the road. And, it gets more expensive to heal the pain (that is, if it's even not too late for recovery.)
Edit Can you think of one particular change you would like to address? No time like the present, as the saying goes. Seize the moment for now is the time to delay no longer! And to help in your moment of action: Who wants to ring in a New Day of feeling good? Sign me up! And, snag your free song today for some feel-good, motivational music to energize you as you make the needed changes to live pain-free. Happy, adventurous trails, as you continue in your journey of success.

Hi, Friend!
I saw this scathing picture; it is troubling because it's a vivid description of how damaging mean words are.
It made me think back to times when I've been angry. It can happen to any of us, especially since there is so much "noise" in the world today. Well, I wrote down some thoughts about the damaging effects of anger and possible reactions to it. Just reflecting on ways that I deal with it and ways to improve has been a cathartic experience. I hope you can carve out a few minutes of your time to read it; I always love to read in the comments any thoughts you might have. http://bit.ly/stingingtongue
I also received my logo back from the designer today. I highly recommend Looka.com, formerly logojoy.com! They are most helpful and very affordable, if you business guy or gal is looking for your own logo. Enjoy your middle of the week and happy trails in your own journey of success!

Hello, My Friend!
What do you see when you look at others? Do you see winners? Do you know what two qualities successful, happy people have? Well, not surprisingly, I have a thought on the subject. There is actually scientific evidence for the neurotransmitters of "happiness!"
An excerpt from the piece says, "It is an interesting phenomenon that we look at others, who seem to have it all, or have it “all together,” and we think their lives are perfect, they are flawless and they don’t have any problems. It is such a natural tendency to assume that we are the only ones who are deficient in talents or consumed with worry. Even though the grass is always greener on the other side, one of life’s great lessons is that..." http://bit.ly/happySuccessful
I'd love to hear any thoughts you might have from your own personal experiences or from reading the article.
Happy summer trails in your own happiness and success!

After-holiday weekend greetings!
Edit
Hope you had a great weekend! What do you know about Memorial Day, other than it was a great day off work to go to the beach, barbeque, picnic, and celebrate? Those were all great activities for the holiday, although, traditionally, it is a memorial for all the fallen soldiers who fought and died for freedom.
Do you have any thoughts because I would love to hear them! I've posted a piece on LinkedIn, http://bit.ly/MemorialDay2219, and welcome any of your feedback. I'll duplicate it on my site, as well: http://openupyourheart.net/blog/memorial_day_2219/, so, please click on over :)
An excerpt from the piece quotes Alexander Frasier Tytler, renowned Scottish historian, judge, and Professor at Edinburgh University: “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years... ”
What does this say about America's future? There is still good news, so trolley on over for a good read, and post a comment, if you are so inclined. And I hope you had a great kick-off of your exciting summer season!
And if you know someone, who would enjoy a good read, as well, please do forward this email on to them. Thank you for sharing the emails and songs! "Reflection," is still available and I hope it continues to pass along: http://bit.ly/1freesong. So, enjoy the warmer weather and please always remember to stop and smell the roses along your happy trails of success...

Hello, again!
I just must pass this bargain along! I have been out of town so much lately (funerals, conventions, birthdays, graduations), and it can get costly!
Edit
Found out yesterday that the $49 one-way fares on Southwest are expiring tomorrow, so be sure to grab your amazing-bargain price and go have some fun of your own this summer!
I met a new friend from England yesterday, who is coming in October to a convention in Ohio, which I will be attending, as well. The new publisher for my 2nd edition book, with whom I have been working since January, is hosting it and I am excited to meet amazing authors and storytellers from around the world!
It is said that 80% have a book inside of us, just waiting to be written. Most of us have unique thoughts and experiences to share with the world but we don't know where to begin the process of telling our stories. We can learn how to write our books, with the right supporting publisher that walks us through each step of the way (online support, tutorials, phone coaching, etc.) So, time to begin thinking about the message you have always wanted to relay! If you would LOVE to tell your story, I would love to have you join me! Email me for more details: kris@openupyourheart.net
With the onset of summer (and so much activity ramping up), I will begin my new schedule of the bi-monthly email. I love sending thoughts, tips, songs, and other info, which I hope you are finding useful! And, I hope you are enjoying the exciting onset of summer!
If you need some musical inspiration to get the season going, please enjoy my summer song, Ride.
And, if you know someone, who could use the healing that only heaven provides, please feel free to share the Amazon link for the $3.99 every-day-low-low-price of the Kindle book, Heaven Heals ... or iBook, and any other format, Heaven Heals ...
Happy trails...

Hey, friend!
Is this a splendid Hollywood Bowl, 4th of July photo, or what!?! How do you celebrate a birthday, especially America's birthday? Are you looking forward to a July 4th holiday of parades, salutations, get-togethers, music, and fireworks - a celebration of America's independence and birth, as a nation, 243 years ago? Statistics show this is the #1 week for summer vacationing.
I don't know about you but I feel swamped most of the year so I will just really enjoy down time, whether I am on vacation or not. Also, I think about American history, during this time of the nation's birthday. A quote from my recent blog:
"Every year we celebrate our unique freedoms and those who defend them. We remember the incredible wisdom of the Founding Fathers and the bravery of those who serve America in uniform. We love to share our traditions with our friends. We enjoy our roots, history, culture, language, and enduring relationship with the U.K. We embrace the positive additions to our American landscape, which have come to us through global influences, especially now that they are so easily accessible, through a worldwide Internet. We continually strive to better ourselves, our surroundings, and the opportunities America provides." I love the quote, 'When someone tells you that you can't, don't believe it. It's a reflection of their limitations, not yours." Just remember: Anything is possible in America!
So, best wishes for a Happy 4th of July! I'm looking forward to it! What's your idea of the perfect July 4th? Mine would involve water (swimming, beach, boating, etc.), family/friends, grilled hamburgers, patriotic music and, naturally, fireworks! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the perfect Fourth. Just reply to this email or please leave your feedback in the blog comments.
Thank you for your valuable contributions to this community and enjoy a very happy holiday along your journey of success!
Kristy XOXOXO
I'm so glad that you want to take this step to finding hope and healing.

A little more about Heaven Heals: By Understanding Abraham's Covenant
In Genesis, God covenanted with Abraham - specifically, with Sarah and Abraham.
What does this mean and why is it relevant?
Who am I, why am I here, where am I going, what about loved ones?
Do these questions correlate with the covenant?
How do world religions enhance one another?
Can heaven facilitate an increase in understanding, perspective, joy, and healing?
Is the proverbial "love" really the solution?
