Goodness, Yes!

I did not write this,
but dadgummit, I could have.

This is my process.

This is my belief.

This is my focus.

This is my life.

You may not know

the impact

you have had

on someone's life,

the feeling

you have given

to someone

simply because

of your kindness.

Your small act

might have

changed the mind

of someone ready

to give up.

Choose kindness.

Choose grace.

Change the world.

Sunshine

This is not my quote,
but very much my mindset!

It is the artist's business

to create sunshine

when 

the sun fails.

~Romain Rolland

We are all artists.

Paint a beautiful masterpiece

wherever you are.

Your light

may be the only beacon

for some.

Valentine Mush

Antoine de Saint-Exupery said:


True Love
is inexhaustible;
the more you give,
the more you have.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Know today,

and every day,

that you are 

worthy,

wonderful,

and

loved.

Love

Love
is a canvas

furnished by nature

and embroidered

by imagination.

~ Voltaire

Ch-Angel Sue

It's been a hot minute
since I dialed in on any one Ch-Angel,
but this one is all over my thoughts this morning.

Ch-Angel Sue is in every essence,

my 'nother mother.

Friends with my Momma for eons,

I have memories of them singing together,

playing together,

chatting together,

laughing together.

When I see Sue, 

my heart is full of love and faith and strength.

She's an amazing mom to her own kids,

but always has had more than enough love

to share that love with countless others.

She pushes me to write and rhyme,

and always has.

She offers guidance and support,

laughter and strong shoulders.

I have been so blessed with my 'nother mother.

She's not only earned her wings,

but has a beautiful shiny halo to match.

Wishing her the happiest of birthdays

and just an inkling of all the love she so freely gives

showered back to her today ... and every day.

Love You and Happy Birthday

Ch-Angel Sue!
