Blog 10/365 Change your words/Change your life!

Lets play a little game called "Complete the sentence"

We have strengths and .......................

Please make a list of pros and .....................

I am right and you are .................

Friends, I feel we have been conditioned to view positives and negatives. If I had to bet, your answers were "Weaknesses, Cons, and Wrong." Now this is me jumping off the deep end...WARNING, you may feel Suchie has completely fallen off the rocker he is not siting in...but seriously, does there always have to be a negative?

Ever since Blog 3/365 Choose Carefully, I have been wanting to write a blog about the inherient power every word we think, write, and say carries. In B3/365 I wrote: "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me!" WRONG! Words can hurt!" HOWEVER, I failed to mention that words can also motivate, inspire, and love.

Now imagine if we only focused on positive words intended to motivate, inspire, and love? What if we had "Strengths and Opportunities for Growth" instead of "Strengths and Weaknesses"? Considering our words normally precede our actions...Could Positive Thought + Positive Words = Positive Actions and Results?

Set an example by using powerful and positive words! I mean look at what is out there...

Change your words and change your life!

Make it a great day! It's your choice!

Love, Suchie

ps. I would like to introduce you to an old friend of min:-)

Blog 9/365 The twist! Cookie Day recap:)

It is something nobody else can do quite like you...It's your own little twist!

In everything we do, we decide our level of performance. The question is ~ How much energy are you willing to invest to make something amazing...to preform at an astonishing level?

In recapping International Give a Cookie Day I wanted to share a few stories I have received.

This first story is about a participant who decided to put her own little twist on our simple cookie idea...and really made it AMAZING!

The first message I received read: "I participated for your international cookie day and added a little "me twist" to it:-)" She then proceeded to tell me about these 10 amazing packages she put together for the homeless!!! Each package had a toque, gloves, a scarf, granola bars, fruit cups, buns, Christmas treats (including cookies:-), some breath mints, and a hand written Christmas card! She hit the streets of Toronto approaching the homeless she felt drawn to...chatted with them, connected with them, and shared love! All I could think was WOW!

This next story come comes from a Mom:

"Just wanted to say thank you for inspiring us to "give a cookie". I meant to message earlier, however I have been a little busy cooking and eating!!!! Anyway...a little story...My girls and I and one of their friends packaged up our cookies into festive xmas ziplocs and headed to our local retirement home "The Manor" and started to go room to room! It was so great and sure puts life in perspective....some residents were sleeping, so we just left them by the bedside...a few declined however enjoyed the conversation and visit...it was especially touching one lady was unable to speak and we were unsure what to do, so I sat on her bed and just held her hand...the tears started to roll down her cheeks...then the girls just quietly sat down too and just held her hand and rubbed her backside.....it was pretty special! It always amazes me how kids get more than we think they do....

We met one lady who had an entire room full of knit mittens and scarves etc...and she absolutely loved our visit!!! We shared stories and I have printed off a pattern for dog booties to take back to her, as she has been unable to get one...hehe too great!!!"

Again, how amazing! Steward the youth...connect generation gaps...and continue to build your community!

Another read: "Hey man, bought a dozen cookies from tim hortons... caramel chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin (my favourites) and gave them out today to people at work and one homeless girl and her dog who always asks me for change when I'm sitting in traffic. Good idea & enjoyed the little video you made.. LOL!"

I love these stories!!!

To each of the 270 participants in 2011...I would like to say thank you!

Remember that everyday we have the opportunity to do good...we decided our level of life performance...but only you can add your unique "you twist" to a situation!

Make it a great week! Stephen

So here are the details...I will be the human specimen/creative muse for an artist who wants to do a series of Tarzan related drawings. By February 1st, I have to:

1. Get rather fit (aka 3 weeks to ripped!)

Blog 7/365 I LOVE IT!

Dec, 6th ~ 8:45pm I read an e-mail from a reader suggesting that I apply to be a guest blogger for a site called WomenOnTheFence.

Dec, 7th ~ 12:51am I finished my application e-mail for WomenOnTheFence

Dec, 7th ~ 8:40am I received an e-mail from WomenOnTheFence greeting me with 3 magical words...

"I love it!"

All I could think was...Are you kidding me!?! Is this for real!?! Did I really just become the guest blogger for a women's blog receiving 100,000 hits monthly and syndicated on 8 sites, collectively receiving 2 MILLION hits monthly!?!? Did all of this really just happen in the span of 14hours!

To quote one of my best friends: "Yes! This is happening!"

I still can't believe it...I also can't believe how excited I am to do something for free! lol

All that being said...I want to say thank you for your support. When you post a comment, my heart smiles. When the blog gets a new e-mail subscriber, I do a little happy dance:-) When you write me an e-mail, I sit down with a smile and respond with love.

Focus your thoughts -> Focus your actions -> and work towards your goals! (and please do all that in a sustainable manner:-)

I guess it is time to get to work eh! :-)

Make it a great day! Dance this weekend even it is just you in your living room with your favorite tunes!

Sending love, Suchie

Blog 6/365 Me + A Womens Blog = LOVE IT!

"Ask and you shall receive"...RIGHT!?!?

Well I just applied to be a guest blogger on a women's blog!

Below is my "application e-mail"...I thought you might enjoy the read:-)

Erica if you are reading this...Hi again:-)

Make it a good day everyone! Always living, learning, loving, and laughing!

Suchie

Good morning Erica, Good afternoon Erica, Good evening Erica, Go back to bed and read this in the morning Erica! :-)

"insert appropriate greeting here" Erica,

My name is Stephen Szucs and whenever you happen to be reading this digital letter, know that I enjoyed writing it.

Erica, this morning I woke up to this message...

"Blog exposure

Just an idea...and don't be put off by the "women" part. Us women always like to hear what men think...
Check out this link...looking for guest bloggers and has some good exposure

http://womenonthefence.com/guest-bloggers-2/"

Little does this reader know that I was very "put on" by the women part:-)

In an effort to actively work towards my goals I started a blog in November 2010. My original premiss was to challenge myself to do the things "they say" will lead to a more fulfilling life. So my blogging journey began...I vocalized, and now I am accountable to act!

Bye the way, if you are wondering...Yes, the pitch is coming soon:-)

With testing action in mind we had our first blog challenge..."The 6am challenge" ~ wake at 6am for 10 days in a row and preform activities to strengthen/exercise mind, body, and spirit. Presently we are participating in our second blog challenge..."Journal Challenge 2011" ~intended to challenge us, promote both internal and external awareness, and to inspire us as we continue working towards our wants, goals, and desires.

Concept = Focus our thought-> Grow awareness -> Focus our action towards our goals -> Accomplish!

Immediately after reading your tag "get off the fence and start living," which I love by the way, I thought about something I said to a friend today: "Money comes and money goes...but time only goes!" Act now or have a midlife crisis later, eh! :-)

All that being said, here is the pitch...Drum roll please....tatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata

I would like to lead a 14 day Journal Challenge for WomenOnTheFence!

Now, I realize this may exceed the "Approx 750" words you requested (haha) but I do feel it has the potential to get some women off the fence!

Of course I could also write an "Approx 750" word post regarding pubic hair, meditation, what guys want, or about "acting now or having a midlife crisis later"...but for some reason my gut said "Journal Challenge" (a close second was "Act now or have a midlife crisis later") haha

I'll close by quoting/personalizing a little Casablanca: "Erica, I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship" :-)

I looking forward to your reply, I thank you for you time, and hope you make it a good day!
