LOVE This

Sometimes,
things just really
touch me.

There really

REALLY

needs to be

more of this:

Admire and compliment

someone else's beauty

without questioning

your own.

Void

I keep a writing book
with me at work
(thank you Kelly).

When I am inspired,

or moved,

or impelled to write,

I do.

This,

for whatever reason,

came out of my pen

last week.

Sometimes,

I surprise myself.

When we go,

we leave a void ~

which is defined as:

an empty space.

The trick, dear friends,

is to turn that negative

into a positive,

and that void 

into a soulful and peaceful place

of celebration and thanks.

Saturday Smash

Here's a little combo for you
to start your weekend
and perhaps inspire you:

People may hear your words,

but they feel your attitude.

Our prime purpose in life

is to help others.

So, if those two things are true,

then, with a positive attitude,

we can be an uplifting source

to other humans.

Let's give that a try, shall we?

Ch-Angel Susan

And there,
toward the end
of a rather trying week,

sat an unassuming

tissue-wrapped gift

at my desk.

A simple heart

adorned the paper.

Under many layers

there appeared

an Angel tapestry.

My heart swelled.

My eyes leaked.

My soul smiled.

Thank you!

You make it better.

For my friends ...

There are certain folks
that have touched my life

who epitomize this ...

And God said:

"Send them without wings

so no one suspects

it's an Angel."

You know who you are.

Thank you.

Stories

So, sometimes,
I see things and

am immediately impacted

by its weight or truth or simplicity.

This one got me this morning.

Not sure why, but it did.

What are your thoughts?

Stories always go on.

They don't end

on the last page,

any more than

they begin

on the first page.

~ Cornelia Funke

Searching

By Rumi,
this quote just seemed
to reach out to me today.
Perhaps someone is in need ...

Maybe you are searching

among the branches

for what only appears

in the roots.
