Mist in the morning
Fogs clarity, loosing hope
Unveil Illusion
Cindy Georgakas
Good Morning My Friends,
With being so busy with my book launch, I missed the opportunity to talk about mental health month so I wanted to take a moment to share some of my thoughts with you this morning. May is Mental Health Month and we all know it doesn’t end in May and no one is exempt from struggles with their own mental health or dealing with other family members or friends, that are experiencing them at one point or another,
If you or someone you know are struggling, please reach out and get the help you need and don’t forget to reach across the table to comfort yourself or another in times of need. Your presence does make a difference and can give hope and love to someone who is feeling hopeless. I wrote a piece called MOOD ON! It’s Move It Monday! It has statistics, tips, a work out video and just where to find help if you need a little more inspiration and support. You can read it here.
Yesterday I picked this card from my Healing Angel Card Deck by Toni Carmine Salerno and thought “what the heck, I’ve been running back and forth doing just that all day” but this came out of no where and it turned out it was my gardener that needed a little TLC. In my book RE-CREATE & CELEBRATE, 7 Steps To Turn Your Dreams Into Reality, I talk about every age and stage, giving us new ways to grow and be tended to. “As we continue to grow, we face new challenges that we must adjust to in order to make room for change. Change is not always easy, but it is inevitable and if we get set in our ways, we can hinder our growth, and our ability to open to our highest good.
I stood with my gardener and he shared his heart and I taught him some breathing exercises and tai chi and he felt much better when he left. I just saw him now and he’s practicing the moves and is feeling better. Practice is the cornerstone to mental clarity and health. Reach across the table and share your heart with someone that needs you. It requires nothing more than a smile or a word of affirmation.
Have a blessed day and remember it only takes a minute to be of service to another human being, including yourself and it may just change your life or theirs.
Always Love,
💗
Cindy
P.S. Thank you so much to all of you for all of the reviews coming out on Amazon and to Devang from The Fat Guy Workout for being the first Indian blogger to make a review which he so proudly shares.

Good, caring thoughts as always, Cindy. A small thing, though: it may just be my set up but your video is marked ‘private,’ so I can’t watch it 😢

Welcome Home Diana! It’s good to see you here. I am feeling calm and the tour has been quite joyful thanks to you and all of our friends. I was so honored he entrusted me and seemed better today. It was fun to see how the card made sense at the end of the day. Hugs back! ❣️

Not a worry.. better late than never.. I’ll post now.. I should have told you too.. xo 💞
We are new at this together. 🙂
Thank you my dear friend for addressing such an emotional and delicate subject. Your thoughts and inspiration are a catalyst of encouragement for all of us. I am sure your gardener appreciated you taking the time to connect with his spiritual state. Our presence really does make a difference, because sometimes that’s all a person needs at that moment in time. Bless you my Energizer Mama! 🥰🙏🏼🤗💖😊
You’re so welcome Kym and thank you for your wonderful words of inspiration Kym. It was a wonderful moment and I’m blessed by the impromptu of how it evolved. It really does and those are the real gifts in life Kym. Thank you so very much!!! 💗 Hugs my friend! ❣️
I love the way you tune in to your spiritual heart. You are an angel my dear! 🥰💖😇
Thank you my dearest Kym. It takes one to know one angel. 💞💗
Awwwwww…😇🙏🏽🤗💖😇
💗😘💞
🥰💖😍🥳🧁🫖☕🌟✨
Your book is perfect for mental health awareness month because I think it can be a useful tool for many. And of course, loved the post! It was so nice of you to help your gardener. Some days we all need someone to help us the way you helped him!
Oh, thank you so much Pooja! I really appreciate your knowing heart and noticing mine. I agree if people do the steps they will find that to be true1 I’m glad you liked my post and I so agree. We all need this is right! 💗💞
You’re so welcome and yes we absolutely do!
Absolutely. xo ❣️
Thank you dear, yes kindness is the key.❤️
You’re so welcome Laleh and you are so right it sure is as you well know. Thank you so much! ❣️
❤️❤️❤️
💗💗💗
Cindy, I don’t think there are any accidents. The man needed someone to talk with and something/someone made sure it happened. There is so much we don’t know but I know that much. Thanks for the encouraging video.
I so agree with you Li.. we just have to stay open to what lead with our heart. You’re welcome and thanks for your kind comment! 💗
<3
This is precious Cindy. We never know what our words or gestures of help may mean to others. Thanks for sharing
I feel blessed to have been available and you’re so very right. Thank you so much for seeing that. You’re so welcome as well! ❣️
Yes, it gives such a deep pleasure to our soul.
exactly! 💗
💕
I am glad you took time to give your gardener some TLC!! :>)
Meeeee too. He was so appreciative.. it’s the little things that matter! ❣️
Time to take a deep breath again!
I love how you always look after me.. TY❣️

That looks like an interesting deck of cards, Cindy. Tai chi exercises both body and spirit. I really like the surprise ending in the poem… ‘unveil illusion,’
They really are and you’re so right. Glad you enjoyed that Tammy! 💞 Thanks
Nice one Cindy
Refreshing times
Oh thanks so much. Definitely true. So good to see you! How have you been?

DESIRE + COMMITTMENT = RESULTS
Being mindful is very important, but people are afraid to speak out. The are afraid to be vulnerable.
Your voice gives theatre experience on headphones….you should consider doing podcast. The video is also an added bonus
Ahhh… I want that book in paperback. I want to hold and experience it. I am not buying it immediately because I want it to be stay available for others.
I just heard american version on my name, haha, well yes people say my name like that, haha…
Wise wednesday sounds great….. A video weekly please.
AND.,
That’s how you get shout out twice folks….. haha
You are the Best D!~
You sound good and I love you take those words to heart.
It really is and it takes practice and courage but if we are honest that is the only way to experience a rich life.
Oh you are so kind and I appreciate that!
How about book on tape first. So much to figure out.
You just may win it Devang. Go back and make sure you comment on all of the posts and tomorrow Friday.. I’ll announce the winner sometime next week.. Hey why not on Fun Fri-Yay.. wait what is the American Version… I have to look again.
I love it!!~!💗
People are afraid
My reason of being afraid is I don’t want to show my side to someone and later when people don’t understand it, they just leave .
It needs patience and empathy to understand what others are feeling. A lot of people just don’t have that.
I’ve tried to share a blog series where they can talk about themselves and their feelings, but not all will open. It’s hard to show them that yes I’m interested to listen and I care.
Especially men are afraid because they think it’s against their masculinity.
There are days when I want to cry and I feel very lonely, but there’s no one to listen 😶.
Your book made me very hopeful. I love it’s tone, it’s like an elder sister is telling that things will be fine.
An American version is, when Americans say my name like that.
Basically my name sounds like
Dey- vaa-n-g
I can understand that for sure Dey-vaa-n-g. Devang, D. I love all of the versions and the sound of them.
The fear of abandonment is real and especially if you have had something happen to you that created that old trigger.
So many people are here on the blog for different reasons and as you share your truth, others will feel more comfortable to share theres. Some are just here to vent, sell something, and have their own agenda. Over time it will be clearer to you. Many men were trained not to feel and that it is to show weakness but it’s the farthest thing from the truth.
Hold yourself, listen to what the message is and let it wash over you. It will pass a lot sooner like that.
Oh I’m really happy to hear that and I hope you continue using the notebook pages to grow and clear inroads inside.
They will be fine D… trust that and thanks for being here😘
Thanks for the encouragement!!
It’s always my pleasure!❣️
A lovely haiku, Cindy! And I appreciate your beautiful thoughts on mental health and reaching out, and above all your timely assistance to your gardener. These are the small and tender gestures that make persons great, and you are one of them.💐💖🙏
I’m so happy to hear that KK. Oh thank you so much for your kind words. It was and so far so good. I also gave him some lavender essential oil which helps with stress and relaxation. You’re so right about that KK. We need to take those moments when they show up.
Awww and so are you,,, Thanks so much ❣️
You’re welcome, Cindy! It’s always a pleasure to connect to you 😊💖
💗💞🥰
Peggy and I are camped in the middle of a beautiful forest near Chesapeake Bay in one of the largest municipal parks east of the Mississippi, Cindy. It’s perfect for mental health. 🙂
Oh that sounds so lovely Curt!!!! You are my role model! ❣️
A small act of kindness can make a big difference in someone’s life. Thank you for sharing this incident and reminding us to take care of ourselves and our neighbours. 🙏
Hi Dear Ranjana,
You’re so very right and I appreciate you being here and making a difference in mine! ❣️
You are positive and lovely.
You bring a great message, and I believe it works for many.
My sister (rip) had issues, beyond all I’ve read here. The “medical industry” had her on chemicals from puberty. She was institutionalized. Eventually diagnosed with Schizophrenia. Later in her life they changed that to Severe Personality Disorder.
She lived on a mountain of pills. Died youngish.
Everything you said here I needed for me, just to cope with knowing her.
Cindy, thank you for caring!
Thank you so much Resa! I do my best like you do. I’m so sorry about your sister and you Resa. That’s truly not easy to deal with for anyone and it puts a big strain on relationships. Unfortunately for you and I both, we have had siblings that suffer from the same thing. My heart goes out to you as I know how hard this is. I’m so sorry she died youngish but at least she’s out of suffering. It is a devastating illness.
It’s a tough road to hoe for sure and I’m happy you enjoyed my post. Thank you so much for letting me know and you’re so welcome~! 🥰🙏🏼
Thank you!
It was a hard time with her.
I’m happy more people are talking about mental illness these days.
People seem embarrassed about it.
We need to get over that! 🥰🙏🏼
Of course. I bet it was. It really needs to be talked about and addressed. It effects everyone. We really do need to get over it Resa1 ❣️
Agree! xo
Wonderful post and quote, Cindy, and I love your poem. Thanks always for sharing your valuable advice, and Congrats on the success of your blog tour! So happy for you! 🩷🤗
Thank you so very much Lauren. I’m delighted you enjoyed it and you’re so welcome. Thank you so very much!!! Last day tomorrow.. I best get writing.. xo 💞 Any word yet from SW?💞
You’re very welcome, Cindy, and I had received the email but had to keep quiet until yesterday. 🙂 Thanks again for your support! Authors (and friends) supporting each other. Happy Friday, too! 💖🔆💖😁
I did see that as you probably read in your comments. I’m over the moon for you. You’re so welcomed and Yes, it’s so awesome we have such an amazing community! Enjoy the fruits of your labor! ❣️
Great blog. So important “If you or someone you know are struggling, please reach out and get the help you need and don’t forget to reach across the table to comfort yourself or another in times of need.” Have a great day.
Thank you so much Tangie and glad we are connected now here and all seems well in the world this moment. Hugs and love! ❣️

Oh okay ya night for us in India and morning for you all. Always welcome dear Cindy 🙏🏻😊🙏🏻
To reach out and comfort someone in times of need is very important to the ones who are silently suffering and quietly shy to talk to about their problems … I know the feeling Cindy, my emotional journey tested every fibre within me … I was lucky enough to the recipient of very supportive friends and family… thank you for your encouraging article Cindy … sorry I’ve missed a few of your posts lately, this ‘covid’ thing has been a struggle for me … 💜😍🌏🤗🐶
Oh that’s so nice to read Ivor and it’s so very true. I’m delighted you are here and your kind words. Keep taking care of you my friend. Hope it’s over soon! ❣️
Thank you Cindy … I’m over the worst of it and starting to get back to normal… 🤗😍🌏📘🐶

Thank you Cindy for this encouraging reminder! Many of us, including myself, have family who are dealing with their own trials from depression and other related symptoms. Blessings to you!
You’re so welcome and thanks for sharing so honestly. We all have something to deal with that’s for sure and making sure we are there foe each other is important Richard.
Thanks so much and blessings to you as well! 💗
What a great reminder that we have more power to change the world than we think, and it can all begin with the small actions we take on the daily. The best part is, there’s no cost to doing this. Lovely post as always, Cindy!
Thank you so much Stuart. I like the way you put that. It’s the little actions that make the difference and we need to remember exactly that. I appreciate you kind words and appreciation always! ❣️
