"FAITH IS BELIEVING WITHOUT SEEING" ~ GOD
IN THESE TIMES WHERE WE ARE ALL STRUGGLING TO GET BY, TRYING TO FIND WORK, TRYING TO HOLD ON TO WHAT WE'VE WORKED SO HARD FOR WITHOUT SEEING ANY SOLUTIONS IN SIGHT...WE NEED TO HANG ON AND KEEP THE FAITH! FAITH IS THE ONLY THING THAT WILL KEEP US HANGIN' ON!!! GOD BLESS ~ CHAMPAINE xoxoxo
"LIFE IS LIKE A COMBINATION LOCK; YOUR JOB IS TO FIND THE RIGHT NUMBERS, IN THE RIGHT ORDER, SO YOU CAN HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT." ~ UNKNOWN
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
LIFE IS FOREVER CHANGING,WITH EACH CHANGE YOU LEARN & GROW.AS YOU GROW, YOU CREATE DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS OF WHAT LIFE HAS TO OFFER... IN THAT MOMENT IN TIME, WHEN YOU FIND THE RIGHT COMBINATION FOR YOUR LIFE... YOU WILL UNLOCK THE DOOR TO YOUR DIVINE HAPPINESS! ~ CHAMPAINE xoxoxo
"UNDERSTAND THAT THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE YOUR OWN PATH IS A SACRED PRIVILAGE. USE IT...DWELL IN THE POSSIBILITY" ~ UNKNOWN
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE IS A GOD GIVEN GIFT THAT WE ARE ALL BORN WITH BUT NOT ALL GET TO USE. THERE ARE MANY PLACES IN THE WORLD WHERE CHOOSING YOUR PATH IS NOT AN OPTION, BECAUSE YOUR LIFE IS ALL PLANNED OUT FOR YOU. WHAT YOU DO, WHERE YOU LIVE & WHO YOU MARRY! WE ARE BLESSED TO LIVE IN THE LAND OF FREEDOM. FREE TO CHOOSE WHO WE WANT TO BE, WHAT WE WANT TO DO, HOW WE WANT TO WORSHIP, WHERE WE WANT TO LIVE AND WHO WE CHOOSE TO MARRY. DON'T TAKE THAT PRIVILEGE LIGHTLY OR FOR GRANTED...MOST IMPORTANTLY, DON'T LET IT GO TO WASTE. CHOOSE YOUR LIFE'S PATH AND BASK IN THE POSSIBILITIES OF ALL THAT COULD BE BY MAKING CONFIDENT & CORRECT CHOICES. LIFE IS ALL ABOUT CHOICES AND YOUR CHOICES POINT YOUR LIFE'S DIRECTION...THEY PAVE YOUR PATH!
"DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE GIFTS THAT WILL MULTIPLY YOUR HAPPINESS WHEN YOU GIVE THEM AWAY? ~ STEVE BRUNKHORST
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
THANKSGIVING IS A TIME TO REFLECT ON YOUR LIFE AND ALL YOU ARE "THANK" FULL FOR AND TO "GIVE" TO THOSE LESS FORTUNATE. WHEN YOU GIVE THE GIFTS OF "LOVE", "KINDNESS", "FORGIVENESS", "CARING", "SHARING" & "COMPASSION" WITH AN OPEN HEART...THEY WILL COME BACK TO YOU WITH MANY BLESSINGS TO FULFILL YOUR LIFE. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL ~ CHAMPAINE xoxoxo
" HOPE AROUSES AS NOTHING ELSE CAN AROUSE A PASSION FOR THE POSSIBLE" ~ UNKNOWN
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
HOPE IS THE ENERGY & THE FUEL THAT FEEDS THE FIRE OF THE POSSIBLE...IT IS THE ROPE THAT HELPS YOU HOLD ON TO THE DREAM. HOPE IS THE BELIEF THAT ANYTHING & EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE AND IT SUSTAINS YOUR ENERGY IN THAT BELIEF. ANY DREAM CAN COME TRUE WHEN YOU BELIEVE. ~ CHAMPAINE xoxoxo
"MAN'S MIND, ONCE STRETCHED BY A NEW IDEA, NEVER REGAINS ITS ORIGINAL DIMENSIONS" ~ UNKNOWN
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
YOU ARE ONLY LIMITED BY YOUR IMAGINATION. ONCE YOU THINK OUT OF THE BOX AND CREATE A NEW CONCEPT, A NEW POSSIBILITY, A NEW REALITY...YOU EXPAND YOUR MIND TO NEW HORRIZONS BEYOND WHAT YOU EXPECTED. ONCE YOU EXPAND YOUR MIND AND POSSIBILITIES, THEN YOU WILL CONSTANTLY CHALLENGE YOURSELF TO "THINK BIG", "PUSH THE BOUNDRIES" AND CREATE NEW POSSIBILITIES! IT'S A WORK OUT FOR YOUR MIND & ONCE YOUR MIND FLEXES ITS MUSCLE, THEN IT KNOWS IT'S CAPABLE OF ANYTHING. SO, THINK BIG AND EXPAND YOUR MIND!!!!!
TALK HAPPINESS; TALK FAITH, TALK HEALTH, SAY YOU ARE WELL AND ALL IS WELL WITH YOU, AND GOD SHALL HEAR YOUR WORDS AND MAKE THEM TRUE." ~ UNKNOWN
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
SO, THIS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE LAW OF ATTRACTION. WHAT YOU THINK & ALL YOUR CONCENTRATED THOUGHTS BECOME YOUR REALITY! IT'S ALL ABOUT THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING...WHAT YOU THINK IS WHAT YOU LIVE. SO WHEN YOU CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK...THINGS BEGIN TO CHANGE! : ) ~ CHAMPAINE xoxoxoxox
" YOUR NEVER GIVEN A WISH WITHOUT BEING GIVEN THE POWER TO MAKE IT COME TRUE" ~ RICHARD BACH
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHT'S ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
SO WHAT ARE YOU WISHING FOR? THE POWER LIES WITHIN YOU TO MAKE THAT WISH COME TRUE. PLUG INTO YOU ...GET INTOUCH WITH YOUR INNER VOICE TO DISCOVER YOUR TRUTH AND WISDOM ...THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL FIND THE POWER TO GRANT YOUR WISH! ~ CHAMPAINE xoxoxo
"YOUR TALENT IS GOD'S GIFT TO YOU.WHAT YOU DO WITH IT IS YOUR GIFT BACK TO GOD" ~ LEO BUSCAGLIA
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
WHEN YOU LIVE YOUR GOD GIVEN TALENT ... YOU ARE UNWRAPPING YOUR GIFT AND SHOWING THE WORLD WHAT GOD HAS BLESSED YOU WITH. EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT GIFT AND MANY HAVE THE SAME...ALTHOUGH, IT'S THE SAME IT WILL BE SHOWN DIFFERENTLY, BECAUSE YOUR UNIQUENESS WILL MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. LIVING YOUR TALENT IN YOUR UNIQUE WAY IS YOUR "THANK YOU" GIFT BACK TO GOD! EVERYONE IS BLESSED TO LEAVE THEIR UNIQUE MARK ON THE WORLD...SO COMMUNICATE, VALIDATE & APPRECIATE YOUR GOD GIVEN GIFT! ~ CHAMPAINE xoxoxo
"THERE'S ALWAYS A LITTLE TRUTH BEHIND EVERY "JUST KIDDING", A LITTLE EMOTION BEHIND EVERY "I DON'T CARE"...AND A LITTLE PAIN BEHIND "IT'S OK"!
~ JOANI SINAGRA
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
TODAY'S WORDS COME FROM MY GIRLFRIEND JOANI AND THEY ARE "EYE OPENING" I DON'T THINK WE REALIZE THAT "WORDS HURT TOO"...MOST TIMES THE HURT IS MORE PAINFUL THAN A PHYSICAL SLAP IN THE FACE. THE TRUTH IS OFTEN PAINFUL & EMOTIONAL IT CAUSES US TO SPEAK AND ACT UNKINDLY!
~ CHAMPAINE xoxoxo
" ALL MEN WHO HAVE ACHIEVED GREAT THINGS HAVE BEEN GREAT DREAMERS" ~ ORISON SWETT MARDEN
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
ALL GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS START OUT AS A DREAM. YOUR DREAM IS THE OUTLINE, THE BLUEPRINT AND INSPIRATION OF WHAT COULD BE YOUR REALITY. IT ONLY BECOMES YOUR REALITY WHEN YOU TAKE THAT BLUE PRINT AND ACT ON IT. GET OUT THERE AND DO IT...NO SECOND THOUGHTS, NO THINKING TWICE AND NO LOOKING BACK...MAKE IT HAPPEN! MAKING IT HAPPEN TURNS YOUR DREAM INTO A REALITY ...WHEN YOU CREATE THE REALITY YOU HAVE WORKED YOUR MAGIC. SO THE GUIDE LINES ARE...THINK IN GREY ...ACT IN BLACK & WHITE BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY....DREAM IN COLOR!!! ~ CHAMPAINE xoxoxo
"DON'T LET TODAY'S DISAPPOINTMENTS CAST A SHADOW ON TOMORROW'S DREAMS" ~ AUTHOR UNKNOWN
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM
DISAPPOINTMENTS ARE APART OF THE BLUE PRINT OF LIFE. THEY ARE DESIGNED TO BUILD CHARACTER, HELP YOU TAP INTO YOUR PERSISTANCE & FAITH AND HELPS YOU RELY ON YOUR COURAGE & RESILIANCE. DISAPPOINTMENTS ARE THE HURDLES THAT TEACH YOU HOW TO LEAP FORWARD. DISAPPOINTMENTS ARE ONE OF THE INGREDIENTS OF SUCCESS...SO, WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE DISAPPOINTMENT FORGE AHEAD BECAUSE SUCCESS AWAITS YOU! SUCCESS IS THE PAYOFF OF A ROAD CONFIDENTLY TRAVELED!! ~ Champaine xoxoxo
"OPTIMISM IS THE FAITH THAT LEADS TO ACHIEVEMENT. NOTHING CAN BE DONE WITHOUT HOPE & CONFIDENCE AND OPTIMISM" ~ HELEN KELLER
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
OPTISISM IS THE FUEL OF THE GO GETTER! BEING OPTIMISTIC ALLOWS YOU TO KEEP YOUR VISION OF WHAT EVER IT IS YOUR GOING AFTER...IT HELPS YOU SEE YOUR VISION BECOME YOUR REALITY AND IT KEEPS YOU POSITIVE AND IN MOTION. THE MORE FAITH & POSITIVITY YOU PUT FORTH THE MORE YOU ATTRACT THAT ACHIEVEMENT TO YOU! BE OPTIMISTIC!!!!
"BURRY ALL THOUGHT OF FEAR, BITTERNESS, POVERTY AND FAILURE. I SHALL GUIDE YOU ONE DAY AT A TIME. EACH DAY I SHALL SUPPLY THE WISDOM AND THE STRENGTH "
~ UNKNOWN
THESE WORDS GIVE CREEDENCE TO THE SAYING "ONE DAY AT A TIME"...IT IS VERY HARD TO TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME WHEN YOUR WHOLE LIFE IS CHANGED AND IN DISARRAY. THAT IS WHEN YOU HAVE TO TOTALLY RELAY ON HOPE & FAITH...HOPE IS THE ROPE AND FAITH IS THE KNOT AT THE END OF THE ROPE THAT KEEPS YOU HANGING ON! I HAVE TO BELIEVE GOD HAS A BIGGER PLAN FOR ME...I MAY NOT SEE IT NOW WHILE I AM STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE WITH NO JOB AND THE END OF UNEMPLOYMENT! BUT, I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT THERE IS NO BLESSING AWAITING THOSE WHO BELIEVE & HOLD ON WITH FAITH. GOD REWARDS THE FAITHFUL HEARTED!!!! ~ Champaine xoxoxo
"IF YOU'RE HOPING FOR A MIRACLE, STOP GABBING AND START WORKING...PERSIST, AND MIRACLES WILL START HAPPENING, ALL THE MORE WONDROUS BECAUSE YOU WORKED THEM YOURSELF" ~ MARTHA BECK
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
MIRACLES HAPPEN EVERYDAY ...BUT GOD WON'T DO FOR YOU WHAT YOUR NOT WILLING TO DO FOR YOURSELF! IF YOUR WILLING TO PUT THE DEDICATED HARD WORK INTO MAKING YOUR DREAM COME TRUE THEN GOD WILL DO HIS PART TO MAKE IT YOUR REALITY. STOP HOPING & START WORKING! ~ Champaine xoxoxo
"REMEMBER THE THINGS IN LIFE THAT ARE FREE - OUR FAMILY, OUR FRIENDS, OUR SOUL, OUR HOPES, OUR DREAMS AND OUR KNOWLEDGE -ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT."
~ JAREN L. DAVIS
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
WE ALL ARE GUILTY OF TAKING THINGS FOR GRANTED AND NOT COUNTING OUR BLESSINGS. WHEN WE LEARN TO APPRECIATE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN OUR LIVES WE ACKNOWLEDGE OUR TRUE BLESSINGS. BE GRATEFUL FOR THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE US HAPPY & SHOW US LOVE...THEY ARE THE NURTURERS OF OUR SOUL & BELIEVE IN OUR HOPES & DREAMS.
"THINK THOUGHTS OF ILL -WILL AND ILL SURROUNDS YOU, AND THOSE ABOUT WHOM YOU THINK. THINK LOVE, AND LOVE WILL SURROUND YOU , AND ALL ABOUT WHOM YOU THINK." ~ "REMINDERS FROM GOD"
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
MOST PEOPLE FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR THOUGHTS CREATE YOUR REALITY! WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT MANIFESTS BECAUSE YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ENERGY. SO, WHEN WE THINK NEGATIVE WE FILL OUR LIFE'S JOURNEY WITH NEGATIVITY...WHEN WE THINK POSTIVE WE CREATE A POSTIVE REALITY...AND WHEN WE CONCENTRATE ON THINKING ABOUT LOVE WE PAINT OUR LIFE WITH BEAUTIFUL COLORS OF POSITIVE SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS! SO, THE QUESTION IS "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING"?
"LET INSPIRATION TAKE THE PLACE OF ASPIRATION. ALL UNEMPLOYMENT WOULD CEASE. I ALWAYS HAVE PLENTY OF WORK TO BE DONE AND PAY MY WORKPEOPLE WELL".
~ UNKNOWN
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
WHEN WE ALLOW GOD'S INSPIRATION TO GUIDE US TO OUR NEXT VENTURE THEN WE ARE DOING EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. WE'RE LIVING IN A WORLD WHERE MONEY RULES AND MOST PEOPLE GO AFTER JOBS THAT WILL MAKE THEM BIG MONEY...YET THEY HATE GOING TO WORK EVERYDAY AND GET NO JOY FROM WHAT THEY DO. MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING! WHEN YOU ARE BLESSED TO DO WHAT YOU LOVE & LOVE WHAT YOU DO THAT IS TRUE SUCCESS BLESSED BY GOD'S INSPIRATION. WHEN YOU DO WHAT YOU LOVE IT NOURISHES YOUR SOUL & BRINGS YOU HAPPINESS THAT NO MONEY CAN BUY. YOUR REWARDS WILL BE BOUNTIFUL! SO LET GOD INSPIRE YOUR NEXT CAREER MOVE AND YOU WILL BE DOING WHAT YOU LOVE...GOD ALWAYS KNOWS BEST! ~ Champaine xoxoxo
"YOU MUST TRUST ME WHOLLY. THIS LESSON MUST BE LEARNED...DOUBT ALWAYS DELAYS. ARE YOU TRUSTING ALL OF ME OR NOT?" ~ TWO LISTENERS
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
WE ALL ARE GOING THROUGH TOUGH TIMES AND THIS IS WHERE YOUR FAITH COMES INTO PLAY. BELIEVING IN THAT HIGHER POWER, ALTHOUGH UNSEEN . THAT IS THE HARD PART ...BELIEVING & TRUSTING IN SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN...THE UNKNOWN! TRUSTING ,BELIEVING AND KEEPING THE FAITH GIVES YOU HOPE. FAITH & HOPE GO HAND IN HAND. FAITH IS THAT ROPE YOU ARE HANGING ON TO...HOPE IS THE KNOT AT THE END OF THAT ROPE! LIFE IS A LEARNING LESSON IN PROGRESS...DOUBTING IN GOD'S LOVE, GUIDANCE AND TRUST MAKES THE JOURNEY EVEN HARDER. SO, LET'S BE AWARE OF THE LESSONS TO BE LEARNED AND TRUST THAT GOD WILL LEAD YOU TO THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL...AND YOU WILL BE WISER FOR THE JOURNEY! FAITH + HOPE = BLESSINGS ~ Champaine xoxoxo
"HEARTS EAGER TO DO MY WILL SENDS OUT A CALL I FIND IRRESISTIBLE. I KNOW NO BARRIER TO THEM" ~ TWO LISTENERS
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
THOSE WHO GIVE WILL RECEIVE...GOD SHOWERS US WITH HIS BLESSINGS WHEN YOU GIVE FROM THE HEART. ANYTHING YOU DO FROM THE HEART MEANS YOU ARE SINCERE ABOUT REPRESENTING GOD'S LOVE AND PUTTING IT INTO ACTION. THE GIFT OF GIVING IS THE BEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE SOMEONE AND IT FILLS YOUR SPIRIT WITH LOVE. THE MORE YOU GIVE AND SHARE LOVE...THE CLOSER YOU ARE TO GOD AND THE MORE YOU MAKE HIM SMILE!!!! ~ Champaine xoxoxo
"THE PAST CAN NOT BE CHANGED. THE FUTURE IS YET IN YOUR POWER."
~ HUGH WHITE
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK IN TIME, YOU CAN ONLY MOVE AHEAD. YOUR FUTURE IS JUST AHEAD AND THE POWER TO CUSTOM DESIGN IT LIES WITHIN YOU. IF YOUR NOT HAPPY WITH YOUR PAST THEN CHANGE YOUR FUTURE. YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE YOUR FUTURE BY THE WAY YOU THINK, WHAT YOU SPEAK AND HOW YOU ACT. INCLUDE LOVE, RESPECT, COMPASSION, FORGIVNESS & POSITIVITY IN YOUR LIFE AND WATCH HOW IT TRANSFORMS. WHEN YOU CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK...THINGS BEGIN TO CHANGE!

"THROUGH HUMOR, YOU CAN SOFTEN SOME OF THE WORST BLOWS THAT LIFE DELIVERS. AND ONCE YOU FIND LAUGHTER, NO MATTER HOW PAINFUL YOUR SITUATION MIGHT BE, YOU CAN SURVIVE IT" ~ UNKNOWN (THESE WORDS WERE SENT TO BE BY ONE OF MY LONG TIME LISTENERS PHILIP JOSEPH CARTER)
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHT'S ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
I THINK LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE. I LOOOOOVE TO LAUGH AND IT WAS ONE OF THE SAVING GRACES THAT HELPED ME MAKE IT THROUGH MY JOURNEY WITH CANCER. IN 1991 I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH STAGE 4 HODGKINS LYMPHOMA AND WENT THROUGH A FEW OPERATIONS AND 9 MONTHS OF CHEMOTHERAPHY. IT WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT TIME IN MY LIFE AND THE MOST LIFE CHANGING. LAUGHTER WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MADE ME FEEL BETTER BECAUSE LAUGHTER RELEASES ENDORPHINS. ENDORPHINS REDUCE THE SENSATION OF PAIN AND AFFECTS YOUR EMOTIONS. ENDORPHINS ARE CAPABLE OF RELIEVING PAIN IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO THAT OF MORPHIN.
I REMEMBER ONE NIGHT WORKING AT A CLUB IN THE CITY AND RUSHING HOME AT 2AM BECAUSE I WAS FEELING SICK FROM MY CHEMO. I WAS SPEEDING OVER THE VARRAZANNO BRIDGE SO I WOULD GET HOME BEFORE I VOMITED ALL OVER MY BEAUTIFUL VELVET DRESS. AS SOON AS I PAID THE TOLL I WAS PULLED OVER BY THE COPS. I OPENED MY WINDOW AND ONE OF THE OFFICERS SAID "DO YOU KNOW YOU WERE DOING 75 MILES OVER THE BRIDGE". I SAID, "YES OFFICER" AND CONTINUED TO EXPLAIN THAT I WAS A CANCER PATIENT AND I WAS FEELING REALLY SICK FROM CHEMO AND WANTED TO GET HOME BEFORE I COULDN'T DRIVE. THE OFFICER SAID "HOW DO WE KNOW YOUR TELLING THE TRUTH...DO YOU HAVE A CARD OR SOMETHING THAT SAYS YOUR A CANCER PATIENT". I LOOKED AT THEM AND SAID, "YEAH, I CARRY AROUND CARDS THAT SAY ..HI I'M A CANCER PATIENT" AND I STARTED TO LAUGH (MEANWHILE I WAS ABOUT TO VOMIT ALL OVER THEM...lol) THE OFFICER SAYS TO ME ..."WHY SHOULD WE BELIEVE YOU". AT THAT MOMENT, THINKING QUICK....I PULLED OFF MY WIG...AND SAID "IS THAT ENOUGH PROOF" ...lol WELL, THE TWO OFFICERS WERE STUNNED AND I GOT A POLICE ESCORT ALL THE WAY HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME I TOLD MY HUSBAND WHAT HAPPENED AND WE LAUGHED ABOUT THE SITUATION FOR DAYS! A LITTLE LAUGHTER CAN MAKE THE TOUGHEST SITUATION A LITTLE EASIER TO DEAL WITH.

"A SETBACK IS A SETUP FOR A COMEBACK" ~ UNKNOWN
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
THESE WORDS OF WISDOM WERE SENT TO ME BY A LONG TIME LISTENER DEBRA DILEO...I LOVE THEM...THANK YOU DEBRA!!!
AS WE ALL TRAVEL THROUGH LIFE'S JOURNEY, IT IS ALMOST GUARANTEED THAT WE WILL ENCOUNTER SETBACKS. I BELIEVE THAT EVERY SETBACK WE EXPERIENCE HAS A LESSON TO BE LEARNED...WITHOUT LEARNING THAT LESSON, WHETHER IT'S GRATITUDE, LOVE, PATIENCE, FORGIVENESS, TOLERANCE etc., WE WOULD NEVER BE READY OR PREPARED FOR THE SETUP OF THE NEXT DIVINE BLESSING THAT WILL BE YOUR COMEBACK! PRESENTLY, MANY OF US ARE EXPERIENCING A SETBACK WITH THIS ECONOMY THAT WE ARE SUGGLING THROUGH...BUT REMEMBER THAT CREAM ALWAYS RISES TO THE TOP...AND THE COMEBACK WILL BE SWEET!!!
"BE KINDER THAN NECESSARY BECAUSE EVERYONE YOU MEET IS FIGHTING SOME KIND OF BATTLE" ~ UNKNOWN
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
WE ARE LIVING IN A TIME WHEN MOST PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING THE SAME BATTLE...THE ECONOMY! NOT HAVING A JOB, TRYING TO KEEP YOUR HEAD ABOVE WATER WITH BILLS &FAMILY AND FOR SOME THEY ARE DEALING WITH HEALTH ISSUES ON TOP OF ALL THAT. I THINK KINDNESS IS NEEDED NOW MORE THAN EVER...KINDNESS, CONSIDERATION & A SMILE CAN TRANSFORM SOMEONE'S DAY. KINDNESS IS AN ACT FROM THE HEART...AND WHEN YOUR HEART IS FILLED WITH LOVE...KINDNESS COMES EASY!!! GOD BLESS.
~ Champaine xoxoxo
"LOOK AT EVERYTHING AS THOUGH YOU WERE SEEING IT FOR THE FIRST OR LAST TIME. THEN YOUR TIME ON EARTH WILL BE FILLED WITH GLORY" ~ BETTY SMITH
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
I BELIEVE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THINGS AS THOUGH IT WAS YOUR FIRST OR LAST TIME...YOU TRULEY FIND A GENUINE SENSE OF APPRECIATION AND BEAUTY FOR ALL THINGS! IT WILL HELP YOU TO NEVER TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED & TOO SEE ALL THINGS ...BIG OR SMALL..AS A BLESSING!
~Champaine xoxoxo
"THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON ON EARTH IS THE HUMAN SPIRIT ON FIRE"
~ FERDINAND FOCH
CHAMPAINE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS OF WISDOM:
Your body is just the vehicle that houses the most important and powerful part of you...Your SOUL! Always remember, that we are SOULS first on a Human Experience. Your soul is the direct source to all that is good. Your connection to the Divine Power that makes all things possible...so, when you put your heart & soul into something you are passionate about you can't help but WIN! The only way to set your soul on FIRE is to fuel it with PASSION! Find your passion and set your SOUL on FIRE...feeding your "Passionate Flames" is your secret weapon of power to make your passion a reality!!! God Bless : )

"LIFE IS A GREAT BIG CANVAS & YOU SHOULD THROW ALL THE PAINT ON IT YOU CAN"
~DANNY KAYE
Champaine's Thoughts on the Words of Wisdom:
You are the artist of your life's portrait. The more you do with your life the more colorful your picture becomes. Only you know how to paint your life's Masterpiece. Don't let anyone else paint your vision...paint your life with brilliant color and be the Picasso of your Masterpiece!!

"A CLOSED MIND IS A WONDERFUL THING TO LOSE" ~ unknown author
Champaine's Thoughts on the Words of Wisdom:
Close minded people limit their opportunities and fail to see things in a different light. When you close your mind, you close the door to your mental & spiritual growth. Being open minded allows you to hear someone ele's opinion, ideas & experiences which we can gain by and learn from....and we're never to old to learn. By being open minded you open your heart to new blessings....being close minded & seeing things only your way blocks your blessings! ~ Champaine
"FOR A TREE TO THRIVE IT MUST BE PRUNED IN ORDER NOT TO STUNT ITS GROWTH"
~unknown author
Champaine's thoughts on the Words of Wisdom:
In many ways alot of us have been pruned of our branches. I know I have...losing our jobs and being stripped of all that we worked so hard for just when our careers were in full bloom...and for others losing much more. Like everything else in life it's all about choices! We have to choose to believe God pruned our branches for a reason...otherwise the best of who we are and what we are capable of would never get to fully bloom. We may think we give the best of who we are & what we can do...but only the Master Gardner knows the capability of the tree and the richest fruits it can bare. So, think of yourself as a tree that has been pruned to grow taller& stronger branching out to new heights. Before you know it your bare tree will be filled with new blossoms that will give birth to a new season in your life's journey. Have FAITH...the sweetest fruits of your labor are yet to come!!!!
