Affirmations – What You Can Do
HASHTAG: #AMCoffee
Be Daily Part of #AMCoffee Conversations & Prizes
There are times when we meet here to talk about important subjects. Sometimes we meet to discuss exciting and fun products. And sometimes we just meet to talk about whatever comes to mind.
The key point is that we meet here…a chance to say hello, and check in with our online friends.
But once in a while we need to pause and just share — share our thankfulness that we live in a beautiful country — that there are people we are thankful for. So, sometimes we meet here and talk because we want to share with some new people we treasure in our lives.
We also care about other precious people we seldom speak about. But they are nonetheless important to us.
The thing is, we don’t often tell the people we meet, and know, and care about, that they are special to us, or why. We feel these things, but we say nothing.
What I have learned these many years is that we confuse privacy and silence. And we don’t understand that some of the people we are being silent about — maybe most of them – could really use the affirmation that they are treasured by us in some small or large way. Perhaps one or two are really hungry for that affirmation from us and need it now more than ever.
So, I was thinking…wondering… if you wouldn’t like to reach out and tell someone today they matter to you? Maybe they matter a lot. Maybe just in passing. But, like I said, the thing is…while we are just being silent, they may need our appreciation of who they are more than we know.
Today, why don’t you let them know. Reach past your private reserve and express your caring heart.
Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences here.
Affirmations. We all need them, and appreciate it when others express them to us.
Yet, most of all, we need to make them. We need to open our hearts and share our thoughts and feelings. Will you do that? Today?
Let me know how it goes.
Love to all of you, my new and treasured friends.
Affirmations. It’s that time of year.
This is wonderful and I totally agree. I’m going to tell of my extended relatives this today as I do show affirmation to my immediate family often. Thank you Laura,mthis is very important and people are so precious! Bless you!!!
wow that’s truly correct I must say I appreciate you Laura for putting all this together and the friends I have met here they are so awesome gals they are great supporter and help in great advice and support and then family where would we be with out them so hats off to you
I agree with Karen. Laura you are a wonderful person.
Thank you, Karen, for being one of the first to join in and build this core of our community!
Love having you with your points of view and Always your own opinion!
Thank you Laura! What a nice way to start the day:) My affirmation is Be Patient! Everything Good Comes to Those Who Wait!!
It is so true and am a firm believer, 3 years ago began a total test of my life, I almost died spent 38 days in hospital, and I can tell you how important it is to hear people’s feelings daily and just that they are there and care, not just sometimes but I now like to practice it regularly, I don’t get out, but I have not only my family, and a couple of friends that visit, but have built relationships with many online talking to daily being able to share, telling them how glad I am to have them in my life and that I <3 them everyday not just one day can make a difference in anyone's life. For that I am thankful for everyone of them and every day I have to tell them. This is a very caring group am glad became a part of also love you all and the times am not too sick or have a nurse here when I can participate in am coffee with you all.
That is such a great way to express yourself to other and let them know how you feel about them, but sometimes you never here it back from the one to whom you care about. I know in my case I live with people who do not know how to show their feeling back they hide it deep inside. I could go on for hours about this subject. Thank you Laura. Hope you have a good day.
LAURA, you ma’am deserve the affirmation award!!!! You mean a lot to me because you have always been kind, and considerate. You take time out everyday, to help others. And to connect such a wonderful group of people. I have made many friends here and I can’t thank you enough for that. I know that enough people aren’t participating right now, but I am slowly but surely seeing a few new people here and there 🙂 So that’s a good sign 🙂 my mom has been wanting to join but she works 6 days a week during the coffee hour and unfortunately cannot be here. But I have a few friends that will be joining soon 🙂 I just have to talk them through getting signed up. I wish you all the success in the world. Thank you for bringing the knowledge I need to not only better my life, but better those around me. It has proven most helpful! I hope you are having a nice Easter weekend!!! Mine has been rained out! 🙁
I agree 100% with that Mandi
🙂 hi Karen!! Happy Easter 🙂
I second Mandi!
Hi elicia!!! Happy Easter!
Mandi,
You made me feel like a Southern Dame!
Thank you, thank you so much for your heart-felt and driven words. I needed to hear them, too.
Like anybody else, I am looking for support and help sometimes. Being alone and doing things alone make it a very lonely place.
Having you around brings a drive and energy and ways of looking for a solution when it seems to escape you again and again.
Appreciate you, my sweet person, here. And yes, let’s bring in more people, as our diversity creates the myriad of rainbows to look at and smile with!
I try to express but i am very reserved when it comes to my feelings, i can tell my kids and that is about it! I can write it on a piece of paper or say it in a card but for me to just be able to tell someone has been a very difficult thing…and yes i think your right its time to just shout it out and tell peoplel I will try to make that something that i work on now for the future and for today! I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL Easter and family time together and maybe even get that one deep feeling out that has been there for sometime! Thanks Again Laura for my CoffeeTalk I look forward to it every morning!
Wendi,
Well said and felt through. You just opened one more chapter to treasure you more and know you better.
Your words and meaning do make my day!
We are a very open and loving family. We always express our feelings. I came from a family that did not talk about our feelings or say I love you. So when I meet my husband it was a breath of fresh air. His family gives hugs, calls just to see if your ok, says I love you all the time. I’ve never felt so appreciated and welcome before. I carry this on in my life. You never know when you will have the chance to tell that person again how much they mean to you. Don’t miss the opportunity. Live each day to the fullest, enjoy your family and friends. Each day is precious.
Now I want to take a moment to personally thank Laura, you are so kind, patient and helpful. I love your blog, you have so much great information. Thank you for all your hard work.
Good morning! (Slept in today 😉 )I am the talker of the family. I try to tell the quite regularly how very much they mean to me (friends too) .I’ve lost several people close to me in my life before their time and know tomorrow is not guaranteed to any of us 🙁 My kids and I talk frequently and most are very open with me but my daughter is very reserved in recent yrs (but she is also a young adult and party of that is probably her age (19).
You are right though Laura I forget to tell other people (not family and friends) that are important to me how I feel .Like all you ladies. I feel so blessed to of stumbled across this group and have other women to share my feelings, views and opinions with…..to be a sounding board for them as well.I feel like I made at least 10 friends overnight. Coffeetime is one of my favorite parts of everyday….I look forward to getting up and chatting with you all. I appreciate all the time and energy you personally put into Am chat and your FB page and blog 😀 I hope each and everyone of you have a wonderful Easter.
Yep it is so weird how many of us found in this group what we needed. It seems more by accident than not we have all come together.
Jessica,
You deserve some time to sleep-in!
Love having your active mind at us all the time!
Love your way of thinking and accepting so many points of view. From what you’ve shown us all, you are our Mother Heroin!
I agree that you, Laura, are a great inspiration to other women. I am thankful that I won a Nails Art Deco the first time I came to your site and it was the very first time I won anything on a giveaway. I never would have gotten so in to the sweeps and giveaways because I would have stopped doing thinking I would never win anything. Here is my point, that first night I was drawn in with your words and how perfect the timing was that day. I was have such a bad day and thinking so negative. Your kind words make women want to follow in your foot steps because of your positive attitude. Positive energy brings positive things. I strongly believe that every person you meet in life is there for a purpose at that exact time. You got me to feel like I had a purpose again. AM Coffee gets me up in the mornings and I look forward to finding out what we will be discussing and reading others stories. When i get up, I enjoy having coffee with the girls. Can you tell I don’t get out much. lol
So Thanks from the bottom of my heart for being a friend and to all the girls in the group. The girls make the group too because everyone is willing to help everyone else. 🙂 Happy Easter Holiday to all. 🙂
Rebecca,
You are one of the most precious people among us all. You have a daily effort to get up and go and live life “normally” as you can.
Thank you for your endless support and inspiration you are!
Every morning I wake with a Thankful heart & I make daily affirmations ….I make it my priority to tell others how important they are and how much I appreciate them. What a blessing you can bring to some ones life and a smile to their heart to know that mean some thing or have touched you in such a way. Happy Easter All
Agree 100% it is important to let people know how you feel and give them praise when it is well deserved. It works both ways that way. Person feels good about making you feel good so in turns makes you feel good. Cycle purpose for everything. 🙂
It is wonderful to share can really brighten another persons day . Love coming here and reading what everyone has to say and staying connected. I do affirmation’s each day part of my life and those I share it with and my clients too.
