How to be Pretty on a Budget Facials, haircuts, hair dye, highlights, waxing, polishing, filing, tucking-nipping, buffing, dieting, training, and Oh God liposucking-that's what pretty girls are made of. Of course, we know that nothing builds our confidence better than a fresh-faced makeover. I personally love the rejuvenation felt after I take the necessary and deserved time to pamper myself with a great massage; but with the economy tanking and our budgets tightening, we have an opportunity to slow down and think about our efforts to be pretty, while we wait for the brighter days of appropriate self-indulgence to return. I have a new suggestion to accomplish our goals to be pretty on a fixed budget. If part of our desire in life is to be considered attractive, then we have the means to knock the world off its feet without spending a dime. It's easy, everyday be pretty wonderful, pretty funny, pretty helpful, pretty smart, pretty sensible, pretty caring, pretty patient, or pretty unstoppable. Be all of those characteristics that not only show the terrific you on the inside, but that brings forth a gleaming energy that makes others smile to be around you and, better yet, want to be more like you. The SIMPLE TRUTH is that there are no limits to the choices of how you can wow the world-the possibilities are endless, and I think that's pretty fantastic!

Sacred Space-elbow room for the soul You may be wondering what sacred space is and why it is so important. Sacred space is a place that you can create where no one demands anything from you and no one can invade your privacy. It is a space you carve out of your schedule daily to be with yourself-to be still and get to know the real you. It is a place where you can listen to the silence of the all-knowing, pray, receive insights, and heal. Making time for sacred space can be done. Like everything else we want to change in life, it is a matter of creating the habit. More importantly, it's a matter of prioritizing your life. Remember, we only get one shot with this body and this life, so it is important to slow down and enjoy it! Sacred space is a cosmic timeout you give yourself, where you renew your body, mind, and spirit on all levels, just by remaining still. It can be five minutes, a half hour, or longer, and change each day to suit your needs, but it is very necessary to do it daily. You can take a bath, light a candle, curl up with a warm blanket, sit in your favorite comfy chair, go for a meditative walk, or assume a meditative yoga pose. It is as important for men as women to create this time for reflection. Sacred space is the elbow room we need to give ourselves, if we want to expand our concept of who we are and what our life purpose is all about. The SIMPLE TRUTH is that many of us put ourselves last in line throughout our life and wonder why we are not happy, or healthy, or fulfilled. We spend a lot of time finding out about everything outside of us and never take time to find out what's on the inside of us. I encourage all of us to make that appointment with ourselves every day to get to know the incredible souls that we are. Once we understand our beauty and power, it will be hard for the world not to notice. How will you create a sacred space in your day?
