ODA

A great little acronym for so many folks I know ...

Observe, Don't Absorb

A person's behavior

is a mirror

of their inner world -

it's about them,

not you.

Protect your sacred

inner ground.

Observe the behavior,

learn from it

but do not absorb it.

Their actions

do not need to become

your realm.

Fresh Start

A simple Friday tidbit:

Today

is a fresh start.

Breathe deep,

believe in yourself,

and

show up with purpose.

You are capable.

You are worthy.

You are enough.

You are loved.

Enjoy the day before you.

Thankful Thursday

Not by might.
Not by power.

But by His spirit.

Have an extraordinary day.

PKU

Everyone you meet
is carrying something

you cannot see.

A little Patience,

a little Kindness,

and

a little Understanding

go way further

than you realize.

Pack your PKU

and use it often.

P's are Important

The 6 P's of your journey:

PATIENCE

Trust the timing.

PEACE

Calm your mind.

PERSISTENCE

Keep on going.

PROGRESS

Focus on the journey.

PURPOSE

Work toward your why.

PRAY

There is always hope.

Sometimes, 

we need to just slow down

and breathe and re-evaluate and redirect.

Have a beautiful day, friends.

A Favorite

This is one of my most favorite quotes
and mantras in life ...

The one who plants trees,

knowing that he

will never sit in their shade,

has at least started

to understand

the meaning of life.

Give without expectation.

The ripples remain and resound.

Sermons

Love this! Live this!

Perhaps

the greatest sermons

are the ones

we never hear

but those we see

in the quiet, unassuming

actions and deeds

observed in the lives

of ordinary people

who go about

doing good.

PREACH!!!
