Cyber Monday begins early as the largest and most powerful retailer announces all its Cyber Monday sales become available on Sunday.

Walmart's move could spur other retailers to move the Internet sales event to Sunday as adults no longer have to wait to shop online from work. At Amazon, Cyber Monday deals are already here as they bring thousands of deals throughout the week for Cyber Monday Deals Week. Some Cyber Monday 2015 deals are in limited supply, and all will go quickly–but don't worry if you miss one, because we'll keep adding new ones, as often as every five minutes, all week long.

But before you go online, we suggest you pay close attention to safety procedures outlined below.

Happy Everyday

Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Joy to the world... etc.

We get it, but how can we get that happy feeling, when there are many things going wrong? It begins with us!

Common sense is to slow down. There's no one behind me, nor a next place to go. Life is forever unfolding.

Wake up on the right side of bed, with a positive attitude and a great deal of gratitude.

Our space is a reflection of our internal state. If we want to see external change, work from the inside out.
