Adapt and Overcome

Had a blog written
and it wouldn't publish.
Isn't technology fun?

And so . . .
I will change it up
and make sure you understand
that no matter what comes your way
you can create something new
and different
and better!

Put your head down,
put one foot in front of the other
and get to where you need to go.
You can do
whatever you choose to do.

Gogh On

If you hear a voice within you say,
'You cannot paint,'
then by all means . . . paint . . .
and that voice will be silenced.

For those of you that might be
'hard of reading'
this is not necessarily about painting!

Enjoy your day!

Back To It

Back to the basics.
Back to the root.
Back to what drove me to start this blog.

Ch-Angels!

Those folks who go above and beyond
without expectation or notoriety,
to benefit another person
for definite or sometimes indefinable reasons.

There are Ch-Angels everywhere.
I believe it is by choice that we see them.
We tend to see what we want to see.
If we want to see bad . . . we find fault.
If we want to see good . . . we find favor.
The change begins within each of us.

Take a step today toward being a Ch-Angel.
Do something you don't normally do.
Find a needy soul, and fill the void.
The wings are there.
We simply need to dust them off.
Shine up those halos and be the beacon
that others might follow.

Be a Ch-Angel!

Giving Thanks

Believe me,
I'm NOT rushing holidays.
I just wanted to take a moment,
as we all should every day,
to give thanks!

Thank you for another day.
Thank you for my amazing family.
Thank you for my incredible friends.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for reading.
Thank you for hope.
Thank you for understanding.
Thank you for love.

In a world where far too many
are continuously asking for things,
I want to make sure that
I am giving thanks
for all the blessings and abundances I have.

Thank You!

Good Day to You

As I sit here this morning, super sleepy,
rubbing my eyes and knowing full well
that this long day is going to be painful,
I am ok.

I am greeting a new morning.
I get to see another sunrise.
I am allowed to give the world my best.
I am granted a chance to do the right thing.

Is everything perfect in my world?
Nope.
Is life just ducky and dandy without setbacks?
Nope.
Do parts randomly ache and hurt and creak?
Yep.
Do I wish some folks would behave better?
Yep.

But . . . I am here . . .
blessed to write and share and empower
and lift others up and be kind and be joyful
in spite of any and every issue.
And so . . .

Good Day to You!
Make it absolutely anything
and everything you'd like it to be.

Original

Life is far too short to spend your time
trying to be like someone else.
Don't try to dress like this person;
do your make-up like that person;
dance like so-and-so;
sing like this musician;
speak like this orator;
or anything like anyone
OTHER THAN YOU!!!

You, my friend, are an Original
with a capital O!
You are unique and beautiful
and gifted and blessed
and incredible and amazing.
Be the most you-est you you can be.
The world waited for you.
The world was finally graced with you.
Now share the special you that you are!

Do you!
Be you!
Do Be Do Be You!

Memories

As life continues to ebb and flow,
we are sometimes left
with only memories;
precious bits of time
captured in our thoughts,
secured within our souls,
offering us a respite
from the craziness
in a beautifully comfortable
happy place.

Enjoy yours.
