"There's a lot in this world you can't see that

you still believe in,

Like love & courage.

Well that's the way it is with faith

Just because you can't hold it in your hand

doesn't mean it's not there."

~Delany Sisters~

My focus on living slowly & simpler,

no plans, no expectations, no strategies.

Just showing up & being present. 

Just living.

There is loveliness in the ordinariness.

Journal notes and quotes....

The only thing you can grasp without damaging

your soul is God's hand.

Your most persistent choice is whether to trust God,

or worry.

"A Happy heart is good medicine, and 

a cheerful mind works healing."

"Your heart and mind are intricately connected.

It is impossible to have a happy heart when

your mind is full of negative thoughts."

"Open your eyes and see what is around you 

in this world."

"The problem is not the Father's ability to bestow

what you need, but your ability to receive it

when fear or the desire for control governs you."

~Charles Stanley~

'When you have what you need spiritually,

all else falls into place.'

Live today well & in peace...

"It's all a matter of paying attention,

being awake in the present moment.,

and not expecting a huge payoff.

The magic in this world seems to

work in whispers and small kindnesses."

On the way home I drive past the zoo. It was a a gorgeous 

day, with all the Spring vibes & the gravitational pull was

mighty strong...

And there was a baby giraffe.

Some of my very best days are often unplanned.

Journal notes & quotes...

I will know through my heart what my mind cannot discern.

Wait and watch things unfold.

'Take deliberate steps each day to bring your heart, mind, and body

under control & listen to God for wisdom.'

'You don't know what will happen today, much less tomorrow.

Your path may take an abrupt turn.

Keep your mind on the present journey. Walk by faith.'

"Stop sleepwalking and start doing what makes you

come alive, fully alight."

"In the end, ironically, our quest to matter gets in the way

of doing the things that matter most."

You don't need to be more,

you just need to be more you.

A renewed mind is present focused.

Life opens up when you open your eyes & look for 

new ideas and insights.

'Have an insatiable quest for knowledge.'

'You always need good information to continue your

journey forward.

'Life is much sweeter when the heart is tender &

not tainted.'

"When man is harmonious and happy he is healthy."

'Resentment, ill will, hate, fear, etc.., etc...,

tear down the cells of the body and poison the blood.'

Lack & struggle are not of God.

"Our task is to say a holy "yes" to the real things

in our life as they exist."

~Charles Stanley~

"God has planned little gifts along the way to brighten your day,

& sometimes BIG delightful surprises - perfectly timed,

perfect for us."

"Don't wear yourself out with analyzing & planning.

Let thankfulness & trust be your guide."

"God is in all things."

Let go of negative programs.

Turn to God first & find what your heart yearns to find.

"God is good - to you. Stop doubting &

believe in His Love for you."

live today well & in peace

" I want to get into my car and drive until I find what I'm

looking for. Maybe it's purpose or maybe it's a new start

or maybe it's a sky with unclouded stars."
