Hugs

Today is National Hugging Day!

How appropriate 

that it comes when

it's so very chilly out there.

But ... a good hug,

the bear-type,

completely enveloping,

world be-gone,

two hearts speaking ...

does so much more

than warm you.

It reaches into your very soul.

It touches every part of you.

It lingers and lets you know

you're loved.

I wish you THOSE

sorts of hugs today.

I had TWO yesterday!!!

Choke

A quote I came across yesterday and
found most important from T. Madsen.

What do you think?

You may choke

in the effort,

but pray

for your enemies.

You will be filled

with compassion

instead of spite.

Make good choices today ...

Time

In honor of MLK ...

Time

is always right

to do

what is right.

Do not judge a man

by the color of his skin,

the title on his resume,

the letter on his voter card,

the choice of who he loves,

the weights he chooses to carry ...

but by

the content of his character.

Any gift

A beautiful little Saturday sentiment
for you ...

If I could give you

any gift,

I'd give you

love and laughter,

a peaceful heart,

a healing hug,

quiet strength,

fortifying faith,

and joy forever after.

Enjoy your weekend ...

It's Okay

Found and Lynified ...

The biggest lesson

I have learned is:

It's Okay.

It's okay for me

to be kind to myself.

It's okay to be wrong.

It's okay to stay silent.

It's okay to speak up.

It's okay to get angry.

It's okay to cry.

It's okay to need space.

It's okay to be flawed.

It's okay to be happy.

It's okay to move on.

It's okay to not be okay.

It's okay.

YOU are okay.

Thankful Thursday!
One of my favorite days of the week ...

Every day holds something

to be thankful for,

even if it's just

the air that you breathe

or the sun on your face.

Gratitude

does not have

to be grand ...

it's in the little moments

that make life 

beautiful.

I am thankful for you!

Enjoy this day.

Good morning, friends!
Here's hoping that you 

realize how amazing you are today ...

Be the reason 

someone believes

in kindness,

in humanity,

in decency,

in grace,

in love,

in the goodness

of God.
