DailyOM is a site dedicated to “nurturing mind, body and spirit” and sends out daily emails to help in their quest.

For several years I’ve been receiving their Daily Inspiration email and Daily Horoscope. While at times they get backed up in my inbox, lately I’ve been taking the time daily to reflect on those I connect with like one in October, “Ready for Change…Declaring our Intentions. If you want to produce change in your life, take time to declare it to the universe in whatever way feels right.” It was a great mantra and purpose for me in the month of October through yoga and meditation.

Their site offers a Community section and Discussion section as well as a Gift Shop (with Books, Jewelry and Music) and On-line Courses you can sign up for (Meditation, Self Improvement, Writing, Wellness, Relaxation and more). Great as a gift for yourself or someone on your holiday list.

DailyOM is a great way to start each day… a few minutes for YOU grounding yourself with positive intention.

Friends reading this will laugh but I miss country music. Living in Europe I don’t hear it much other than on my iPod. I’ve been a fan since I was young, brought up listening to my dad’s old school country music.

Why do I like it so much? I think its the storytelling. And I was reminded of that tonight.

Last night was the 44th Academy of Country Music Awards and while I couldn’t watch, I was just checking out the winners online. Lots of the same old players so obviously I’m not missing too much.

One of last night’s winners was Brad Paisley for his duet with Keith Urban (you may know Brad as he’s married to Kimberly Williams, Keith is married to Nicole Kidman). They won ‘Vocal Event of the Year’ Award for “Start A Band.” I like both artists so clicked through to check it out.

The lyrics go like this…”When you’re livin’ in a world that you don’t understand, find a few buddies and start a band.”

What a great message! As we’re all facing tough & uncertain times right now, we can take inspiration from this… why not go for it and do something YOU always wanted to do!
