Wealth

There is
no greater wealth
than
peace of mind.

Today,

I pray for you,

that you find peace

of mind

of body

of soul.

That you stand

in tranquility,

speak

in kindness,

and breathe

in the blessings.

Let Them

From one

very smart Alicia Lockhard:

Life

became a 

lot simpler

when I decided

just to

let some people

misunderstand me.

Perhaps

This is not mine,
but it could be ...

Perhaps

our purpose

here on earth

is not

a grand accomplishment,

but a small kindness

that we don't

think much of,

that changes

the life of another.

Truth is ...

From a beautiful friend
who immediately just became
a piece of my heart.
Love and miss you much.

I hate that you moved

so very far away.

The truth is ...

we all have

a sad story to tell.

You either

make it your excuse

or

make it your motivation.

Be Silent

Lynified this snippet. <3

Be silent.

Sit still.

Breathe and relax.

Feed the calm.

Absorb the peace.

Heal and recover.

You need this moment.

Glow

Not mine ... but this is true.

You glow different

when your confidence

is fueled

by belief in yourself

instead of

validation from others.

Get out there.

Glow!!!

Bigger than the Storm

Bigger than the Storm

by Lyn Marinello

 

In the inky sludge of darkness, a monster lies in wait;

Conjuring up mayhem … how it might infiltrate.

It will creep in through the fear. It will howl with the wind.

It’ll pretend to back away, but it will not rescind.

It will rise up in flood waters. It will raze the land by fire.

It will attack your fortitude as you crumble while you tire.

It’ll set embers of deceit on the stage of leadership.

It’ll conquer by division. Alone you’re ill-equipped.

It will bring the tops of mountains to the villages below.

Crush the spirit of the people. Have you question all you know.

It’ll bring famine. It’ll bring death; through the guise of seeking power.

It will revel in its strength as you shrivel; as you cower.

But at the end of every storm, a ray of light emerges.

The battered, weary, weathered commune as night diverges.

The loss is overwhelming. The struggle’s just begun;

But strength is slowly garnered with every subtle beam of sun.

Unfathomable destruction is everywhere you see.

It’s difficult to choose what to do and where to be.

So, you do what you are able with whatever you can find;

With only hope to guide you; you are recovery-resigned.

You are deterred by many hurdles, but you are met with helping hands.

You rise to meet the challenges as faith, indeed, demands.

As you face the devastation; succumbing is the norm.

But you, my friend, are needed. You are bigger than the storm.
