Go Giver

So every single one of us has heard the term "Go Getter".
It's that ambitious, energetic, proactive person 

who works tirelessly to achieve their goals.

We like those people.

They are good people.

The term I was gifted yesterday was "Go Giver"!

What a wonderful concept.

It's that eager individual who creates

exceptional value for others,

shifting focus from 'getting' to 'giving',

without expectation of reciprocation

in the sincere hope of realizing

the happiness of others.

Let's all be Go Givers!!!

Today

Well this beautiful nugget kind of fell in my lap
and how very appropriate ...

I didn't even have to Lynify it!  :-)

Today is not a duty,

it's an honor.

Today is not a challenge,

it's a chance.

Today is not a race,

it's a gift.

What will YOU do with Today?

Silent Saturday

May hope fill your heart
with a quiet peace,
silent faith,
and the impending promise fulfilled.

Good Friday

On this Good Friday, Lord,
I thank you for carrying the cross

I could not bear.

By your stripes, I am healed.

By your love, I am forgiven.

By your sacrifice, I am redeemed.

By your grace, I am saved.

By your victory, I no longer fear death.

By your resurrection, I can face tomorrow.

By your word, I find the way.

By your promise, my heart is filled with hope.

May all glory be to you.

Celebrate

Found a little bit of encouragement
and, of course, Lynified it ...

Today ...

celebrate the victories.

It doesn't have to be

winning March madness,

or a green jacket,

or a trophy, or accolades.

It can simply be

getting out of bed ...

taking a shower ...

going to work ...

finishing a project ...

cleaning the dishes ...

not cussing ...

whatever little triumph

you've accomplished.

Celebrate!

Be proud of yourself!

You can't eat an elephant in one bite

and Rome wasn't built in a day.

You can do this ...

Happy

Found this and Lynified it just a smidge.
I do hope you like ...

Whatever you have planned

for this month, this week, today ...

make space for happy in your heart.

Make space for happy in your life.

If you don't make it a priority,

it will get lost in the list

of everything else 

that needs to get done.

Make your happy a priority.

You matter.

Your happy matters.

Every Place

This time of year always messes with me.
This year, the words tried to help.
I think, perhaps, they did. 

Please let me know whatcha think ...

Every Place
by Lyn Marinello 3/21/26

For far too many years
I have dreaded April first
The day you left this marble
And my little bubble burst

The pain was overwhelming
My anchor point displaced
Scattered, twisted, tattered, frayed
Death’s bitter aftertaste

I questioned my decisions
Angered by my loss
Isolated, lonely
Your absence - my albatross

As the days tick by I wondered
If I was stuck in my own way
Lethargic from life-loathing
Debilitated by my dismay

And so I finally focused
On the facets you held dear
I still stumble constantly
But a new path’s been made clear

I hear you in the music
I see you in my grands
I hear you in my language
I feel you in my hands

I know you’re in the whispers
Of the wind as it blows by
I trust you shape the clouds
When I look up to the sky

I see you in the blossoms
I love you in the chimes
I feel you in the sunshine
Thank you for the rhymes

I know that you’re not present
Though your pull’s like the ocean tide
You’re in every place I ever go
You’ve never left my side.
