Give away...

...love 

like you're made of it.

Do things that last.

notes...

Blondie came without her side-kick...

it was nice to have some quality time

with the old girl...

then her pesty little brother showed...

for his heap of love too..

 reciprocating it with signature slobbers. 

 

experience the joy of being loved

constantly & perfectly

~Jesus

learn how to fall in love

again

challenges draw something out of you

that easiness could never ignite

prayer is like a powerline 

that plugs you into the source

stay connected

turn the volume down 

on your doubts

stay focused on (love) your purpose

it's a process 

with all it's ups and downs

that will ultimately get you there

what really matters is the right state of mind

abundance is something to be

not seek or await

in this moment 

you have plenty

the way you think

can multiply your blessings

or shrink them

as relentlessly as you may try

you cannot think one thing (lack)

and experience something else

thinking about what you do not want

can never bring you what you want

"For as he thinks in his heart,

so is he."

~Proverbs 23:7

what you receive will be the result

of what you believe

be well...

words line up with their actions."

"Let your eyes look straight ahead;

fix your gaze directly before you."

~Proverbs 4:25

 

You have....

...the powerful gift of choice-

the ability to select the direction of

your life.

Some lead to abundant life & others

divert you away.

 notes...

this week's pick

(more ads than usual to skip through...

consider it a test...challenge....whatever motivates you to stick to it😉)

'uncontrollable thoughts can ruin your life

compulsions & habits can mess up your life

fear can destroy your life

hopelessness keeps you from keeping on

bitterness is a cancer that will eat you 

alive 

you

always hurt you

the most

insecurity will cause you to do

foolish things

you have a power 

greater than willpower

keeping laws 

never work

transforming change

changes your nature

you start in your mind

whatever gets your attention

gets you

you don't resist it

you replace it

what you resist 

persists

you have the ability to say no

to destructive habits

not everything natural 

is good for you

"Baby!...."

if your afraid

that's not from God

Biophilia is...

...a desire or tendency to interact or be 

closely associated with other forms of life

in nature:

a desire or tendency to commune

with nature.

"love of life"

Behaviors such as...

filling your spaces with houseplants or pets

feeling peace or awe when viewing natural

landscapes

designing your home or spaces with natural

light, wood, and water elements

Benefits...

reduces stress

lowers blood pressure

boosts cognitive function

notes...

we sit on the dock, kick off our sandals,

& dangle our feet in the water

the sun hides behind the clouds, and

the breeze picks up

the gull finds it difficult to stay

balanced in the rough waters

the minnows swim in schools around our toes

the waves lap at the shore

the bird song echoes in the quietness

and the sailboat passes slowly by....

when you are with someone you trust

completely

you feel free to be yourself

when you are real

it brings out the best in you

relax and enjoy your friendships

a happy heart is good medicine

and a cheerful mind works healing

your heart and mind are intricately

connected

it's impossible to have a happy heart

when your mind is full of negativity

if you are open 

sudden change can happen

at anytime

be ready for a miracle 

and willing to be surprised

inner turmoil makes it virtually

impossible to enjoy life

or your blessings

forgive

don't be loud

be love

create more good in the world

listen for the truest voices

decorate your life and heart with

compassion, empathy,

generosity, & joy

add a touch of whimsy

love

hope

and patience

are always good accents

as your heart and mind merge together

life tends to lighten up

....maybe it's merely waiting for your

heart to open

so you can witness first hand a truth

only you are destined to see

when you focus on your blessings

life feels abundant

when you focus on what's missing

life feels incomplete

think about the multitude of things

in your life

that are going well

persevere and know that something

amazing could be waiting 

right around the corner

keep watching for signs God

places in your path

He doesn't want you 

to miss His perfect will

for your life

He provides guidance so you'll

grow in the right direction

you are not your backstory

you are the story writer

be well...

"There are voices which you hear in solitude,

but they grow faint and inaudible as we 

enter into the world."

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

''A cheerful heart is good medicine,

but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."

Proverbs 17:22

"In all things of nature

there is something of the marvelous."

~Aristotle

"I go to nature to be soothed and healed,

and to have my senses put together."

Life is always...

...full of wonderful surprises

if we're open to them.

Some mornings you wake up

not knowing what will happen

during the day....

and you get a helping hand, 

a trip invite from friends,

 and an arbor in the

yard.

notes...

each moment is like a seed

that carries within itself

the possibility of 

becoming a moment of change

you no longer need to 

run away from the present 

time in search of the place

where you think life is really

happening

focus on your living hope

feed your mind with high-quality

ideas & limitless possibilities

you are writing your own life story

with each subtle thought you think

right thinking is a choice you have to make 

for yourself

be intentional and persistent

improvement is preceded

by improved thinking

see the perfection of who you are

even with your faults

accept yourself relentlessly

there's beauty waiting for you to discover

build a beautiful day

be well...

xoxo
