It is my habit to jump out of bed, brew a strong cup of joe and get busy. But today, I made my coffee, poured it into a cherry red mug and sat in silence. Wow, what a gift! The sounds of silence!<br \/>\n2. <strong>Purple Burning Bright.<\/strong> Instead of lighting one or two aromatherapy candles, I lit a forest of them in my living room last night. What an extraordinary treat &#8211; the sight and smell!<br \/>\n3. <strong>Heavy on the Emerald Green Exotic Relish<\/strong>. I went hog wild and splurged on gourmet relish for the weekend. It was stupid expensive, but you know what &#8230; it added taste, color and fun to my veggie burger!<br \/>\n4.<strong>Black &amp; White Leopard Spots<\/strong>. In route to a party, we passed an outlet mall and made a quick hard right. Screech! I treated myself to a few pairs of leopard panties, and a leopard scarf.  It&#8217;s in style this fall &#8211; something fab to look forward to!<br \/>\n5.<strong> Bright Orange and Blue Flowers Everywhere.<\/strong> While strolling the local Farmer&#8217;s Market, I picked up 3 (yup, count &#8217;em 3) bouquets of flowers. When I got home I separated them into ten smaller bouquets, put them in vases and carefully placed them throughout my home. Wow! A happy burst of color, texture and nature&#8217;s beauty everywhere!!<br \/>\nWhat happy zaps will you add to your day?<br \/>\n<strong>More Happiness:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2009\/08\/more-to-love-luke.html\">Listening promotes happiness<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2009\/08\/more-to-love-luke.html\">Janice Taylor Drops 50!<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2009\/06\/depressed-stressed-and-overwei.html\">Stressed, Depressed &amp; Overweight<\/a><br \/>\nSpread the word &#8230; NOT the icing!<br \/>\nJanice<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nFollow Janice on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/OurLady\">Twitter<\/a> and\/or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/home.php#\/profile.php?sid=d82081eb96fa8033ec096ad6ccfd2b0a&amp;id=557881698&amp;hiq=janice%2Ctaylor\">Facebook<\/a>!<br \/>\n<strong>Required Reading<\/strong>:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Our-Lady-Weight-Loss-Motivational\/dp\/B000QRIHY8\/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b\"><strong>Our Lady of Weight Loss: Miraculous and Motivational Musings from the Patron Saint of Permanent Fat Removal<\/strong><\/a> an <strong>OPRAH BOOK CLUB<\/strong> pick: Summer 2009 &#8211; Buy NOW!<br \/>\nJoin the <a href=\"http:\/\/community.beliefnet.com\/kick_in_the_tush_club\"><strong>Our Lady of Weight Loss&#8217;s Kick in the Tush Club<\/strong><\/a>: <a class=\"zem_slink\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Beliefnet\" title=\"Beliefnet\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Beliefnet<\/a> Chapter.<br \/>\nWrite Janice Taylor, Weight Loss Coach, Certified Hypnotist, Author and 50-pound big-time-loser for an introductory <a href=\"mailto:janice@ourladyofweightloss.com\">one-on-one coaching<\/a> session.<br \/>\nVisit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\">Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a>.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\/motivation\/coach.asp\"><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ART heart.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/100\/import\/ART%20heart.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-left\" height=\"34\" width=\"34\"><\/span> <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\/motivation\/coach.asp\"> about Janice<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Got the end of summer blues?
