themes that keep recurring (or I keep noticing) in a variety of sources.<br />
<br />
Whether you're working "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_(book)">The Secret</a>," seeking wisdom from <a href="https://www.louisehay.com/">Louise Hay</a>, working on your <a href="https://jensincero.com/">Sincero "Badass,"</a> becoming an "<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10767676-the-available-parent">Available Parent</a>," or striving for a "<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368593.The_4_Hour_Workweek">Four Hour Work Week</a>" these are common nuggets of advice that one can take action on in the moment, at any time and in any place. <br />
<ul>
<li>Find something, anything, about which you can <b>be grateful</b>.</li>
<li><b>Stay in the present</b> moment, in lieu of dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.</li>
<li><b>Believe</b> that you can achieve your goals.</li>
<li><b>Breathe</b>. Breathe in. Exhale. Repeat.</li>
</ul>
<br />
To download a mini-booklet with these prompts, look for the links below the doodle.<br />

"Can I go to sleepaway camp this year?"<br />
<br />
"Of course you can Sweetie."<br />
<br />
In my head: <i>Doh! Summer's coming up fast and I don't know what the kids schedules are going to be. And they need new summer clothes and swimwear and sandals. And labels! We're almost out of labels for all of this stuff!</i></blockquote>
<br />
Thanks goodness for <a href="http://mabelslabels.com/">Mabel's Labels</a>!<br />
<a href="http://mabelslabels.com/mini-custom-name-stickers.html"><br /></a>
<a href="http://mabelslabels.com/mini-custom-name-stickers.html">Mini name stickers</a> are dishwasher / microwave safe and UV resistant labels are not only great for lunch and snack containers, they're also fabulous for electronic gadgets, notebooks, pens, markers, and all the little odds and ends. For bigger items, they also have equally wonderful (just bigger) <a href="http://mabelslabels.com/personalized-name-stickers.html">name stickers</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://mabelslabels.com/tag-mates-stick-on-clothing-labels.html">Tag-mates</a>™
are clothing labels that are washer / dryer safe and best of all
stick tight to clothing labels without ironing. Some of the clothes are
worn and faded, but the labels are still going strong! (Of course if you really want <a href="http://mabelslabels.com/iron-on-clothing-labels.html">iron on labels</a>, they have those too!)<br />
<br />
Growing feet mean new shoes, sandals, and boots too, which means new <a href="http://mabelslabels.com/shoe-labels.html">shoe labels</a> are in order.<br />
<br />
To help you save some money, they offer fabulous combo packs.<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461334941726_5531"> </span><br />
<br />
<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461334941726_5531">This year, Mabel is offering two brand-new label combo: a new “<a href="http://mabelslabels.com/day-camp-label-pack.html">Day Camp Labels Pack</a>*” and a new
“<a href="http://mabelslabels.com/sleep-away-camp-label-pack.html">Sleepaway Camp Labels Pack</a>,**” available until the end of July.</span><br />

<br />
This is good advice that's good for versions of Windows even beyond 7:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

Then click Next.<br />
6. Choose the correct driver in the driver list. If no available

<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Happy people recognize life is a balancing act between holding on and
letting go — and they're comfortable releasing things that no longer
serve them. </i></blockquote>
<br />
Holding on and letting go. Push pull. Contract relax. Yin and Yang. Life is definitely a balancing act!<br />

This Christmas Eve people all over the world will log on to the <a href="http://www.noradsanta.org/" target="_blank">official Santa Tracker</a>
to follow his progress through U.S. military radar. This all started in
1955, with a misprint in a Colorado Springs newspaper and a call to
Col. Harry Shoup's secret hotline at the Continental Air Defense
Command, now known as NORAD.<br /><br />
Shoup's children, Terri Van
Keuren, 65, Rick Shoup, 59, and Pam Farrell, 70, recently visited
StoryCorps to talk about how the tradition began.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<h3>
By now, most of us have heard the news: grateful people are happier, healthier and generally more fulfilled.</h3>
<br />
And while these are all really great side effects of gratitude, for
me, one of the coolest things about gratitude is the way it affects the
heart. The heart creates an electromagnetic field that expands up to
five feet from the body. Its electrical field is <a href="http://www.heartmath.org/research/science-of-the-heart/head-heart-interactions.html" target="_blank">60 times stronger</a> in amplitude than that of the brain. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Studies show that when people cultivate positive feelings, the
heart’s frequency changes and its waves become smoother and more
consistent, while anxiety or stress caused waves to be shorter and less
organized. Though most positive feelings were capable of affecting the
heart in this way, researchers noted that <a href="http://www.heartmath.org/free-services/articles-of-the-heart/energetic-heart-is-unfolding.html" target="_blank">gratitude changed the heart’s rhythm</a> more easily and faster than any of the others.<br />

From the <a href="http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1988-12-17/entertainment/8802250959_1_salvation-army-shoes-dear-readers">Chicago Tribune:</a></div>
<blockquote>
Dear Readers: Here is a Paul Harvey broadcast from December, 1979. Several readers have sent it to me, and I think it is well worth printing during this holiday season.<br /><br />AND A NEW PAIR OF SHOES<br /><br />How would you like a job-long hours, hard work and low pay? You may have to settle in Atchison, Kan.-population 16,000. You will be paid $100 a week before taxes. You and your wife will have to live in a dingy one-room walk-up.<br /><br />And one pot of soup will have to last four days.<br /><br />But there is a fringe benefit: You get a new pair of shoes. And in those shoes you can walk from here to Eternity.<br /><br />You are a single girl. How would you like a job in Chicago?<br /><br />Be sure before you apply because you will not work in an immaculate skyscraper office in the Loop. You will work behind a shabby Skid Row storefront patronized by winos and cockroaches and whores, and the depraved and the diseased and the desperate. There will be rodents and more cockroaches.<br /><br />But you will get a new pair of shoes-and guaranteed security here and forever after.<br /><br />I set out to figure out why anybody would enlist in the Salvation Army.<br /><br /><a href="http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1988-12-17/entertainment/8802250959_1_salvation-army-shoes-dear-readers">Read more</a>.</blockquote>

As hard as I try to ignore all of the advertising, in store promotion, and my calendar, there's no denying that the school year is looming around the corner. With a new school year comes new school stuff. Stuff that needs to find its way home for the rest of the year.<br />
<br />
I'd first assumed that we'd outgrow name labels when the kids hit the
age where they can recognize their own belongings. Apparently not.
As they get older, things get shared. Lots. Things like clothes with best friends.
Things like geometry sets. Things like snack containers. Enter my
friend Mabel!<br />
<br />
We're going to need some <a href="http://www.mabelslabels.com/products/Skinny-Minis/">Skinny Minis</a>™ by <a href="http://www.mabelslabels.com/">Mabel's Labels</a>. These dishwasher / microwave safe and UV resistant labels have outlasted some of our lunch and snack containers. They're fabulous for stationery supplies and especially for food containers.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.mabelslabels.com/products/Tag-Mates-Labels/">Tag-mates</a>™ are also on our list. They're washer / dryer safe and best of all stick tight to clothing labels without ironing. Some of the clothes are worn and faded, but the labels are still going strong!<br />
<br />
Growing feet mean new shoes and boots too, which means new <a href="http://www.mabelslabels.com/products/shoe-labels/">shoe labels</a> are in order. Some <a href="http://www.mabelslabels.com/products/teeny-bag-tags/">Teeny Tags</a>™ will round things out nicely, to tack onto pencil cases, lunch kits or backpacks. (I may place a separate Teeny Tag™ order personalized with an ICE (In Case of Emergency) phone number to hang off clothing for use as personal identification. They also double as great ID for kiddos who are too cool to wear <a href="http://www.mabelslabels.com/products/my-411-id-wristbands/">411 Wristbands</a>.)<br />
<br />
It looks to me like I'm in the need of their <a href="http://www.mabelslabels.com/products/ultimate-back-to-school-combo/">Ultimate Back to School Combo</a>!<br />
<br />

<br />
If your kiddos are too cool for Mabel's fun designs, they can graduate to the snazzy new <a href="http://www.mabelslabels.com/products/stylish-scholars-combo/">Stylish Scholars Combo</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
I should also add that their customer service department is one of the best I've had the pleasure to deal with. They go above and beyond to make sure you're happy with your order. <br />
<br />
You all know that I'm a huge fan of Canada's own <a href="http://www.mabelslabels.com/">Mabel's Labels</a>. I've been writing about them here <a href="http://leesvoice.blogspot.ca/2007/05/recent-reviews-of-mabels-labels.html" title="recent reviews of Mabel's Labels">since 2007</a> and I was a direct sales agent with them prior to that. So it shouldn't be a big surprise that <a href="http://www.mabelslabels.com/products/ultimate-back-to-school-combo/">Mabel's Labels Ultimate Back-To-School Combo</a> is on my list of things to get before school starts.<br />
<br />
Ordering my Mabel's Labels is one back-to-school task I actually look forward to doing! <br />
