No Matter What

I adore this little array of words
and what they do when strung together!

No matter what,

hang on to the part of you

that gasps at a beautiful sunset

or gets super excited

about a new notebook,

or a freshly baked cupcake,

or a dog you just met on the street.

Allow yourself

to be regularly startled

and humbled

by joy.

Allow yourself ...

Monday Mantra

May love and kindness
touch all you do
in the new week
to come.

If you cannot find

the blessings you seek,

be them for others.

Hope

Hope is one of
my favorite words.

Here it is

beautifully defined ...

Hope

is the glimpse

of the possible

in an

impossible world.

T.H.I.S.!

This literally

stopped me in my tracks this morning.

Sometimes, 

things just really move me

or speak to me

or I am led to share.

Be proud

of how quietly

you've survived things

no one ever saw.

wow!

Magic

I do so believe this.
Hope you do, too.

Those who

look for magic,

will always

find it.

What you want to see - you will.

Look for the magic,

the positivity,

the purpose,

the good,

the love.

Worth

Found this little tidbit and knew I had to share.
I hope it finds whomever needs to read it.
Pretty sure that would be most of us ...

A bottle of water

can be $1 at the supermarket,

$3 at the gym,

$5 at the movies,

and $8 on a plane.

It's the same water.

The only thing

that changed its value

is the place.

Next time,

when you're feeling

a little less than worthy,

maybe, just maybe,

you're in the wrong place.

You matter. You are important.

You are vital. You are loved.

Change Your Vista

I am a firm believer
in the fact
that folks are put in our lives
to bless us and guide us,
steer us and protect us.

Some are also placed in our paths

to teach us lessons.

What I read this morning

stopped me in my tracks.

Perhaps those

that do not bless your life

where put on your path

for you to pray for.

Well, golly!

That's a lot.
