Every life...

...'needs a little space.
It leaves room for the good things
to enter it.'





notes...

Today, I'm amazed at how everything 
seams to find it's own order.

open your hands and your heart to receive
this day as a precious gift

the best way to dazzle God
is to go be you

you don't have to pretend to be
a certain way to get the acceptance
& security you need

cultivate a committed mind

be teachable

listen carefully

fix your thoughts on what's true & honorable,
& right, & pure, & lovely, &admirable.
( Philippians 4:8)

resist outside clutter

trust where the flow is going

let go and allow the old skin to shed

'there is a place that you are to fill,
something you are to do,
which no one else can do.'

come to terms with the natural order 
of life itself

be gracious with yourself

listen to what your body needs

be well...

"For the great doesn't happen through
impulse alone,
and is a succession of little things
that are brought together."
~Vincent van Gogh~

"Get outside for a walk or any other
outdoor activity for at least 20 minutes.
This will melt away 90% of your 
mental anguish."
~Dr. James O'Keefe~

"If you struggle mentally & physically
but rarely find time for exercise-
that's your biggest problem."

Love finds us....

...where we are,
not where we were.


Blondie, 62 and Buddy






notes...

There was a knock on the door...
Ellie came to visit.
We had left the gate open to the road...
Blondie and Buddy kept with us as we drove back...
we sped up, they sped up,
we sped up, they did the happy dance
and sped up too.
We almost didn't win.
T1 likes to come up an nibble on me.


your renewed heart 
will be better
than before

be forward thinking

God meets you where you are
uses your story
and guides you into a better story

you are a mosaic 
of those who have loved you

give up the desire to have full control-
you don't

attempting to control things
will never solve the problem
it only makes things wonky
and ends up controlling you

you get to choose who &
what you allow in your life...
(thoughts, habits, beliefs....)

explore different solutions

make choices to improve the
quality of your life

you are designed to change
when you choose to

the way you live
will influence future generations

Be very careful, then, how you live-
not as unwise but as wise...
Ephesians 5:15

let go of beliefs 
that do not serve you well

believe that change comes from you

get better at things you 
know will help you

ask
seek
knock

request
search
action

deep breath in...
exhale...
be aware of your moments,
be well...
xoxo

"I asked, "How can anyone who really knows me
ever love me?"
Only to discover it was the only way
anyone ever would."

"Yes, there are reasons no one could ever love you,
and you can be sure that the people who
love you know them all."

"It's not easy--loving someone through
the chinks in their armor--
especially when the love they return
is so often trapped inside."

Wake up...

...and seize the day.
You can make today whatever
you want it to be.












notes...

I was getting ready to mow the yard this morning.
The forecast said "rainy days ahead".
Plot twist.
I grabbed my camera and headed to the zoo instead.
The yard could wait.
There was time for both.


follow the steps as they appear

you will be shown the way

there is a time to wait 
and a time to act

let go of old beliefs and messages
that drive you into the crazies

give yourself permission to be who you are
and do it the way you do it

express yourself in your own unique way

practice bringing harmony into your life

inspiration isn't about 
what you're gathering together
and putting out
inspiration is about what you're
taking in

breathe deep
 and take in the world around you

open yourself up to it all

be well

"It is said that not all who wander are lost,
which has always struck me as not
getting the most out of wandering."

"Every day spent happily striving toward
some elusive goal
is to achieve the real goal,
which is to spend our days happily."
