The Oneness of you and me, Together we are free, Because the visions I see… Of Unity, Are images flashing and flowing through me, Within seconds I transform to BE, Decree dreams and memories… Of yesterday, today, tomorrow… All in … Continue reading

Life is about exploring and creating; therefore, explore your interests. Find out what you love doing by taking classes, travel, attend groups, etc… Put yourself out in the world. Be spontaneous! Play and have fun–make life a wild adventure that … Continue reading
Be curious. Ask as many questions as you can come up with. Wait…and ‘listen’ for the answer. Then ask another question. Wait and be patient. The answer shall come to me somehow, someway. Repeat as many times as necessary. I believe in just this. Therefore, I trust all is going to work out just as IS, just as it should BE. I am curious as I explore life and I am open to receiving answers to my questions all simply because I BELIEVE. <3
Love, Peace and Blessings,

“Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.” -James Allen

“Each of us has an eternal self—a best self—an “I” that goes beyond what we normally see. This is what allows us to contact the “living centers” in ourselves, in others, and in spaces that come alive for us. This field of centers, that appears in things, people, events, places shows us our interconnectedness…and can be called God or Spirit manifest. Everything we do and make, then, is a gift to IT. Good things grow and unfold out of our understood wholeness.” -Christopher Alexander

Life is so precious and not entirely as long as I would like it to be. But life sure does give many gifts each day to wholeheartedly appreciate and be thankful for. Every day is a new day to learn, experience, grow, play, have fun, laugh and do whatever it is that I enjoy and love to do. We beings are so special…knowing that we have each other—in good times and bad. Especially family and friends; having family and friends are such a big part of life because without them, how can one get by without the support and love from others?! Even ‘strangers’… there is a uniqueness about each person due to not knowing them although they really are our sisters and brothers… After all, we are a human race, we are all family.
I work my very best at not taking anyone (or anything) for granted and I do know that each person that crosses my path are there for a very special reason. Life is everything, specifically being in the now of time and acknowledging all that I do have. Life on this earth is limited and there may not be another opportunity to be together with one another. I’ve learned that there are others that are more fortunate on so many different levels. But what I can share and offer to one another is kindness, love, patience, listen, do good deeds, cheer someone up, hold someone’s hand, make someone laugh, and express to those how I feel… since they may not always be there to do so. I take pride and gratitude in ME and all that I do have because I know that this very moment will be a moment that is behind me, for this very moment is all I have. Therefore, I cherish it and have faith that it will last a lifetime.
Give life all you got, give life the entire true YOU.
Love, Peace and Blessings,

“In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.” -Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“The master of the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which; he simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both.” -Buddha
“Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it’s business or baseball, or the theater, or any field. If you don’t love what you’re doing and you can’t give it your best, get out of it. Life is too short. You’ll be an old man before you know it.” -Al Lopez
“Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.” -Earl Nightingale
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND YOU CAN CREATE WHAT YOU WANT.
Embrace all of life experiences. Welcome all that has to come into your life, the good, the bad, the ugly, the grief, the happiness, the joy, the love. Whatever it may be, know it is OK to keep going; everything always works itself out. Have belief in just that and watch how your life unfolds. Sometimes we even have to stop to face our own inner demons we have inside of us in order to make it out of the complete darkness. Once we accept all of us, our past, our memories, who we are today, we can begin to transform and create the real us. Explore yourself, internally and externally, know you are beautiful for all you have been through and for the person you are today. We are each very special gifts placed on this earth, let’s express our gratitude for being alive this very instance.
Today and always, I am grateful to be able to experience this life I am living. I am grateful to take on whatever it may be and all I have been through. I accept, release and let go all of my pain I have kept bottled inside of me, and I fill myself up with love, light and laughter. I allow experiences into my life to strengthen me as a person and I am open to experience all I do for my growth and development. I am grateful to have the choice to be able to choose what I feel is right for me in any given moment. Thank you beautiful life; for I am most grateful for being alive.
“Your body is free but your heart is in prison. To release your heart, you simply reverse the process which locked it up. First you begin to listen for messages from your heart—messages you may have been ignoring since childhood. Next you must take the daring, risky step of expressing your heart in the outside world. . . . As you learn to live by heart, every choice you make will become another way of telling your story. . . . It is the way you were meant to exist. If you stop to listen, you’ll realize that your heart has been telling you so all along.” -Martha Beck
