Life in Transition

“If we had all the answers, then we wouldn’t need to write our own story.” Mike

Life brings changes… some good, some bad, some totally unexpected.  A year ago my plans of what my life would be like right now, are so much different than the reality of what is.  Many of us are going through [...]

True Beauty

Yesterday I couldn’t wait to slice up some of the most perfect and beautiful strawberries that I’d have ever seen.  Every strawberry in the carton was perfect; large, red, and perfectly shaped with the greenest and healthiest caps, stems, and leaves attached.  And, as I sliced each strawberry into half, displaying its internal structure, one [...]

Moments in Time

“I held a moment in my hand, brilliant as a star, fragile as a flower, a tiny sliver of one hour.  I dripped it carelessly, Ah!  I didn’t know, I held opportunity.”  Hazel Lee

Beautiful quote but…,Forget about it… Move on… were wasting time!  The possibility is always here that the day that lies before us, [...]

Life’s Compounding Interest-Nothing Happens and Then Everything Happens

“Nothing happens, and nothing happens, and then everything happens.” – Fay Weldon

Compound interest is where interest is collected and added to the principle amount invested so that the principle plus the interest are now earning interest. I have thought of it mostly in regards to finance, and still remember the story told to me by [...]

A Perfect Life

My passion is apparent if you’ve been reading my post, it’s that we create and live our perfect life, the life that is “just right” for us.  It’s tailored made to suit us perfectly. Most of the post read that’s its about going after something big, something that we want to attain in the pursuit.  [...]

Be Powerful Beyond Measure

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?…” -A Return to Love – Marianne Williamson

I use to think, what could be more [...]

Joie De Vivre – The joy of living

The joy of living involves your whole being in anything that you do.

Today, for me, it’s simply that I’m outside and I’m so happy and grateful that today is a beautiful day!  I hear the birds. I feel the sun and the wind. I see a dogwood tree in bloom.

Fully Enjoy Your Life!

Just a thought…

Finding Happiness In Every Situation

Today TOMS shoes is asking people to go one day without shoes to spread the awareness of the impact of a pair of shoes on a persons life.  For those of you who don’t know, TOMS donates one pair of shoes for every pair purchased to children in need around the world.  (Thank you TOMS [...]

Failure gets a bad rap!

Why are we afraid of failure, and why don’t we think of failure as positive?  Didn’t Thomas Edison say “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”  Isn’t failure our greatest teacher, so shouldn’t it be celebrated? Shouldn’t we celebrate people who have tried and failed, encouraging them to keep going; [...]

The Roller Coaster Ride of Contentment!

Aristotle says that without desire the world would die of inertia.  Eastern Religions believe that our perfect peace comes from wanting nothing, and I believe, in my Golidlocks way, both to be true.  As I see it, when we acquire more things, or reach our goals, or find our love, our desires tend to rise [...]
