Invent New Scripts

My Happy Ass Life ·

2022/11/24

I've been on this kick this week for some reason, I had a lot of stuff flowing through me about doubt and creativity and all those things. My daughter is a huge creative. I almost compared myself and I can't do that, but she's very creative. What happens when you start to create is invariably, that little doubt monster comes in and starts saying, what do you think you're doing? And who do you think you are anyway to create? I think it just happens to all of us, all those people that want to do

I Dare You

2022/11/23

So today, as usual, I had another affirmation but then something hit me. Something just got me this morning and I felt like maybe, in my heart and my spirit, I felt there was somebody out there today, or somebody that might listen that is struggling. To be their creative selves. They're worried about what the world might think. They're worried that they might fail. They're worried about all these things that, yes, they probably will. Some of those things will happen, but they're gonna happen

2022/11/21

Do y'all remember when I talked to y'all about a group of nomads? I think they were in the Mojave desert. If not, we'll say it's the Mojave desert! They wanted some guys to take them through the desert and they were in a hurry. They were in a big hurry. They wanted to get to the other side. They didn't want to take their time. At one point, the guides just stopped in the middle of their trek, and they said" are you doing? The guide said we're moving too fast. We're getting ahead of the spirit

Waking Up With The Sun

2022/11/17

Biophilia is a psychological theory that was championed by Pulitzer prize-winning conservation biologist, Edward O. Wilson. He believed that our biological urges, the love of living things, plants and wildlife, and the outdoors is genetic and encoded in us. It's there to help us thrive and to flow and go with nature. That makes sense to me. He says it's more than a cultural thing. It's a biological thing that we want to be in nature, and it helps us grow. The desire was part of our biology and part

Only The Lost Can Be Found

My Happy Ass Life ·

2022/11/16

So this affirmation is from November 2021. I'll tell you a little story about how only the lost can be found. This is probably one of my favorite ones. Hugh used to have guys in the recovery program that would say," I don't know where I'm going. I'm so lost. I don't have my way." and Hugh would say "That is wonderful. Then God can find you! When you're lost, God can find you. When you don't think you're lost. You don't wanna ask for directions, you just keep on going. So today's affirmation is

God's Goodness Is Running After Me

My Happy Ass Life ·

2022/11/14

I'm gonna do two things today. I was listening to the song God's Goodness is Running After Me? That is exactly what happens if we allow God's Goodness in our lives. If we think about all the good in our lives and all the good that happens to us, then more of that good will chase us down. If you talk about or think about all the bad things, then you'll get more of that. If you think about all the things in your life that are so good and they're so amazing, you'll get more of that too. So I'd like to

Brighten My World

2022/11/10

I've got this flashlight at my lake house. It's one of those things where you plug it in and you charge it up and then it lights up. If I forget to charge it, it has no light. If I forget to charge me up, I have no light. I have learned the hard way that got charged me up so that I can have that light and will brighten up my world by being a reflection of God's love.Y'all know what I found? I cannot brighten the world and be a reflection of God's love if I don't bask in it myself. If I don't know

Living In My Sweet Spot

My Happy Ass Life ·

2022/11/09

I wanna talk about living in our sweet spot. I'm more and more in tune with this the older I get, because I know my time is limited. Really. We should all live like that. We should all live like we have limited time because we do. If I spend time doing things I'm really not good at, and God did not design me to do, I can miss out on doing the things I need to be doing. I see that in my business. I know there are certain things in my business that I do not do. I don't even attempt to touch them. I

My Wild Imagination

My Happy Ass Life ·

2022/11/07

My husband Hugh and I used to read a book together called White Eagle. It was one of his favorite little devotional books to read. We would just take the book and we'd open it up and we would read that together. Sometimes, if we were having trouble or we were worried about one of our kids or something, we would take that little book in the middle of the day and open it up and read it and that would be our guide. So, today I thought I'd pick a surprise affirmation for you today. This one is called My

Open My Heart Open My Mind

My Happy Ass Life ·

2022/11/03

You cannot hold a miracle in a clenched fist. Y'all, I think about that all the time. I talk about the fact that if we hold on, so tightly the things we hold on so tightly to will stay with us. We don't really get to keep them. The more we hold on, the more we grip them with white knuckles. It is in the letting go of things. Letting it flow, that life tends to become healthier and more vibrant and more hopeful. This is quote from my daughter Britt’s book We Are All Wildflowers that inspired todays

The God In Me

My Happy Ass Life ·

2022/10/31

My sweet husband Hugh talked all the time about the gift we have in us as a gift that we're meant to give the world. That's something he said all the time. He said if someone is unkind to me or they're not good to me, or they don't love me, it really doesn't hurt me because I was made to give away what God has given me. The thing is, when you hurt someone when you're unkind, you think it's justified. Anytime someone is not better off by having been in your presence, whether you're talking to them,

The Me You Created

My Happy Ass Life ·

2022/10/27

I don't like today's topic. I'm just gonna be very honest with you. I don't like it. I don't wanna do it. I don't wanna talk about it because it's really not something that ever really plagues me. It's something I thought I was above because I don't do this thing that I'm about to talk about. I am really good about not comparing myself to other people. I really am. That's at least one of my things. I don't have a spirit of jealousy. I don't have a spirit of wanting to be like somebody else. I know

Wildflowers Show notesMy daughter's book dropped this morning on Kindle. It's called We Are All Wildflowers.I just can't express what it means to me to see it drop. I've been fussing with myself for not finishing my book because I keep letting fear stop me. I keep doubting myself and keep changing. I'm thankful. Excuse my procrastination, but I'm so thankful for my daughter's book dropping first.I'm very grateful.I am so very grateful for this life. All the bumps, all the bruises, all the scars,

Let My Love Move Show NotesToday, our message is Let My Love Move. You know how they say faith without works is dead? Well, love without works is dead. Your love has to move and groove with life. If you're just keeping your love to yourself, it's not really love. I'll tell you what I really found out and being married to Hugh Smith and something I learned about love along the way. I feel more love when I give it away than when I receive it. I feel far more love when I give it away. That feeling I

I Love The Mountain Tops

2022/10/20

Today's affirmation is called " I love The Mountaintops." I don't think I've ever mentioned this to you before, but when I was growing up and as a teenager, and even as I got older, my mother always said that I was happiest climbing mountains. I don't mean literal mountains, because I don't think I really wanna do that.What I mean is, I love climbing. I love a challenge. I love it when the world's saying you can't do this and I'll go do it. I love it. When everybody else is whining and

Putting My Actions into Thoughts

2022/10/19

So today we're talking about action. We're talking about taking the thoughts we have and the energy and putting them into action. I have really fallen short of that lately. Gosh, I don't know how many months ago. I just stopped writing my blog every week... just stopped. And I call myself a writer? I'm not a writer if I'm not writing. It'd be like somebody that rides horseback to say I'm a horseback rider, but they never go ride a horse, or a golfer that never golfs. If I'm a writer, I gotta write

Words That Build Me

So I had convinced myself that I was done with the lake. I had not been to the lake in eight months. It's Been a long time and I kind of convinced myself that I didn't need it anymore. That's because it just cost me money. I let other people stay there and all my friends were staying there and stuff like that. I'm not making any money on it. I'm just spending money. So I had to sit down with my accountant and sit down with people that advise me and say, You know what? You're not using it like you

That They Will Know

When I was pitching a fit on the golf course the other day and throwing my balls out of my bag, how would anybody know who I follow? How would anybody know who I follow? How would anybody know that I trust that God has it all in control? I don't, he does. When I get stressed or when I start letting the world be who I follow, then I think I develop things like high blood pressure. I think I develop those tummy aches. Not to say there aren't physical things in our bodies that make things happen. I
