Take a Moment: Inspirational Darts to the Heart

By Karen Marie Lewman

Take a Moment was created to bring joy and healing to others through words and photos that have continued to be uplifting, inspiring, and meaningful to me during my cancer recovery and healing.

My husband, after my surgery eleven years ago, would craft a daily message for me to keep me focused on my healing. Each consisted of a picture, a quote, and a short affirmative summary upon which I started my day. Whether before driving to the office, before traveling, or before starting up my computer from home, he gifted me with his inspiring thoughts. I created binders of all his creations so I could occasionally go through them, several at a time, to feel his love and his positive affirming words. I also thought that someday I would do something with them.

They became my inspiration for Take a Moment. Knowing how much I benefited from these daily reflections, I knew that others would too.

So if you are feeling overwhelmed, challenged in your personal or professional life, have a tendency towards negative thinking, or just need to reset your balance, let Take a Moment bring you that uplifting, positive nourishment for your mind, body, and spirit.

Just take a moment to
be inspired,
be enlivened,
be nourished,
be at peace,
be happy,
be rejuvenated,
be in the moment,
be grateful,
be thankful,
be appreciative.

With healing love,
Karen

As a cancer survivor of eleven years, I know how important daily affirmations and uplifting thoughts contribute to health. During my recovery, my husband gave me daily notes to keep me in a positive frame of mind so that I could completely heal. I have married the quotes with photographs of our many world travels together through the years. My intention is to inspire, uplift, and give hope to those going through challenging times. Having held key executive positions in the retail and beauty industry for many years and now being an independent consultant, I know how important it is to motivate, positively nourish, and support everyone we interact with. I currently live in Monarch Beach, California, with the love of my life, my partner and husband. We refresh and recharge by enjoying daily runs and hikes along the beach, watching the waves, being in nature, and being grateful.
