Yes!
April 3, 2015
Yes ! I am strong
Yes ! I can be wrong
Yes ! I accept that challenges
Am I ready for what the day will bring
Yes, you bet, the birds are singing
and I am more than willing
I’m full of cheer and wonder
Why Yes?, woke up this way
Yes, I will smile today
there will be sunshine in my day
even if it is of my own making
Smiles across the miles, and says
YES ! for sure, you can quote me
This is a Y E S ! day.

every day a dream does come true
I believe
and live with love
it is eternal

What if
April 1, 2015
What if, you went to the ball,
instead of dancing all night
you sat alone and listened to the music
and didn’t dance at all
Were you waiting for Mr. Right
or could it have been your heart was tired and sick
Why, why cries the inner voice
you do have a choice
stand up, turn and walk away
some times our dreams are not centered on reality
but rather an illusion of another time
when love was blind and you believed
in once upon a time.
love was raw
the passion intense
yet it didn’t last, it faded like a summer’s day
before the first winter storm
and you were left to find the pieces of your broken dreams
did you really believe he was your prince
that finally at long last, all the make believe was coming true
there is only one way to find your one and only true love
and that is to know what makes you happy
and to want it more than anything
because it will be for you, and only you.
for two to be one
both have first to know themselves
saying I love you, is not enough
words are words,
actions speak louder than words
we are never alone
we may feel alone, but we are never alone
we have but to listen to our hearts
and know that we our connected
the miles disappear
when we are connected by the awareness
that we are all ONE.

This delightful island with about 3000 residents, is a colourful sight. Its main industries are fishing and lace making, the houses were originally painted in this way so that fisherman could see their homes from sea, Practical, but for me, when I look at the wonderful array of colours i see love and harmony, especially when the sun is shining down on the community
When I first saw this picture, I had to look at it again to see if it was a painting or a picture.The yellow is so sunny, so bright and cheerful. What struck me about the place is the serenity and quiet of the place. I saw the pictures first, and then the video.
This picture with the visual inclusion of signs of life,took me right to the village, I could imagine the children playing outside, the women gathering to talk over coffee. The curtain pulled across so that the family could enjoy the fresh air and still retain their privacy. The village has been there for years and years, the lacing industry there since 1400’s. It takes tourists about 45 min. to get there by boat, Burano is an island in the Northern Venetian Lagoon, close to Venice and Murano. It is known for its brightly hued houses, We can certainly see why.
You know how I love doors. Doors are the symbol (for me) of new beginnings. I love, love, love them. Their diversity, the mystery, the adventure. It appears that in this community, I would never lack for an interesting door or doorway.
In our immediate world, the doors may not always be visible but they are there never-the-less. Watch for them,be flexible in your wanderings, dare to step outside the box and explore a new door today. or let one close, and enjoy the freedom of exploring and seeing the world with fresh eyes, eyes wiling to surrender to the joy of living, basking in the emotions of life and the myriad pleasures derived from living life to its fullest.

compromise
March 30, 2015
Should I …. or shouldn’t I
we may not say it out loud
but our hesitation, our actions
or non actions
speak volumes
do we some times, learn to late
that perhaps we should have given a bit more thought
to a situation or opportunity,
before, we stepped out to meet “fate”
sometimes it is our choice
of friends, and/or toys
we surround ourselves with
our time on earth is a gift
and yes, it seems that we are constantly being challenged
by one choice or another
and, yes, our minds just never stop chattering
one solution always brings up another possibility
compromise can make life more complicated
know what YOU want for yourself
never compromise with your SELF
once something is said or done
we can not take it back
To thine self be true..

A Little Known Secret OR The Power of Tithing
March 28, 2015
we all don’t use the term tithing, but you get the idea.. I liked what I read, and would like to share it with you.
What I am about to tell you about is probably one of the least mentioned ways to increase prosperity, abundance and even happiness in our lives. If you truly believe that God is the source of your supply then you must do something definite and consistent to keep that rich source flowing.
We ask to be blessed with housing, clothes, money, jobs, love, health and so on for ourselves and others and we want it all for free. Do you expect your Doctor to work for free? Your mechanic, your Accountant you get the picture. Here is a secret, tithing affects every aspect of our lives not just our money. The key is that systematic giving opens the way for systematic receiving.
Consider that tithing is an act of faith that moves the universe. Through your acts of unselfish giving you attune your consciousness to that of universal abundance.

When all the world is quiet around you
When only the sound of nature us there to soothe you
do you hear my voice at all
seeing the roots exposed, then leading back down unto the ground
do you wonder at how that tree stands so tall
I am, here you know
in every blade of grass,
in every branch that reaches for the sky
in every crystal grain of sand
You need only look around you, to see me
all around, and yes, that bird calling
and the chattering of the squirrels, those are all my sounds
for I am the world around you
and you my child are mine too
now forever and always.

dedication and faith
March 27, 2015
Panoramic view of the Greek-Orthodox monasteries of Meteora
There was a time when our desire to pray and be closer to God/Universe was seen in the physical world around us. Many dedicated their lives to the practice of living only for that purpose.
A closer look at St. Stephen’s Holy Monastery, it was not built as high as the others, (during 16th century) it was badly damaged during world war 2 by the Nazis and abandoned. However dedicated nuns, came back and reconstructed it and are living and praying there today.
We no longer feel that we need to remove ourselves from the world around us, we know that God is everywhere and lives within us. The majority of us, need to live and provide for ourselves and family. It is sometimes hard to remember to make time for ourselves Precious time where we reconnect to the Spirit within.
I understand wanting to live where i can be with others who share my dedication to serving and being of service, to attain this, one must climb a steep and rocky path. In one of the monasteries I read about, the only access was by rope ladders and nets. Replacement happened only when “God let one break”
wherever you are, today is the present
you will only live it once
live it so that you will not have any regrets
life is…..you are
no more ….. no less.

warm fuzzy moment
March 26, 2015
A warm embrace, another warm body lying close beside you, their warmth and gentle breathing so calming. Oh.. so very nice.
I’ve noticed in the last many years, that a common farewell greeting ending a conversation, text especially will be to sign off with a hug. or xxoo I do it myself, sometimes without thinking
What does a hug imply. To me it implies affectionate, so a hug at the end of a text would (for me) be a way of saying “affectionately yours”
I realized this morning when ending a conversation with someone, that when that person used it when terminating our conversation, I was actually taken aback. Me who is a user of this expression.!! Wow…
Food for thought.. This person is rather new to my work world, and I know a much younger person. So now I am reviewing my use of the term, and will consider carefully how and when I use it. I think I do, but this morning’s experience has made me aware of something in my behaviour that could be easily “misconstrued” if I am cavalier in my use of the word. I believe that we should all do things with a prayerful mind, speak with sincerity. Live life with makoto (sincerity), and strive to build strong friendships and good vibes with all we encounter.
We are all unique in our personalities and character, some love to cuddle up close and personal, others may not feel that comfortable being so close. I like air climate control and the crispness of a fall day while someone else wants the warmth of the mid day sun on the hottest day before their purr engine starts.
‘Friends that get to know one another, really learn to care, in that caring, they find trust, and share common bonds The the hug is really and truly a warm and fuzzy moment. Not just a hug of passing strangers, like the European kiss on the cheek that was a custom, thing to do, and had nothing to do with warm and fuzzy.
mmmmmm I like hugs, not that I’m a hugger, but I do like the word because it does imply a deep affection. And so… after all of this… I say to you… I want to HUG YOU ALL.
so saying I pounce………………
