Loved

I've done took this and Lynified it!
Hope it reaches whomever needs it ...

Some days are not perfect,

and that's okay.

You don't have to be strong

every day.

It's okay to feel tired.

It's okay to feel lost.

It's okay to feel a little broken.

It's okay to feel sad.

You have to be kind to yourself.

Give yourself grace.

Give yourself a moment.

Give yourself time.

Know that you are loved.

Hope

Hey kids!

I have returned.

Spent an extraordinarily amazing week in northern Yellowstone.

Mostly rested and rejuvenated.

A beautiful wish on your Tuesday.

Hope

is the quiet belief

that even

in the darkest moments,

tomorrow can bring

something beautiful.

Have a terrific week.

Words

So there were words last night.
As exhausted as I was,

I crawled out of bed 

to someplace with light enough to write

and I jotted them down.

We shall see where they take me.

When you learn to follow what's given ...

whether it's words

or notes

or images ...

the path you travel

can be simply extraordinary!

I hope, for this week,

that you follow

the gifts you've been given

and share the hope

in your heart.

See you when I see you kids.

Stay buoyant, beautiful and blessed.

People

I had the distinct blessing
to run into, not one, but TWO
fantabulous people
in one day ~ in the same place.

The sheer magnitude of gratitude

nearly brought me to tears.

The people

that we meet

change the way

we greet

the world.

So thankful 

for the flowers

that are planted

in my path.

Enough

Another gem!

Some days

aren't about productivity,

they're about presence.

Water your plants.

Text someone you miss.

Tell your person you love them.

Make your favorite drink.

Read a book.

Write a poem.

Draw or paint.

Sit in the quiet.

Let the small things

be enough.

Have a fantastic Friday!

Kindness

Found this and truly needed to share it.

One day, a stranger will remember you.

Not your name - they lost that years ago.

They'll remember that you

let them go first on a terrible day.

That you told a tired cashier

to take her time.

That you said,

"you're doing better than you think"

to someone who was

about to silently give up.

You will never know

which of your smallest kindnesses

is still alive in someone's memory,

still doing it's quiet work.

That's the secret;

none of it disappears.

Kindness has no funeral.

It just keeps living in people,

long after you've walked away.

The two lines that truly made me pause ...

none of it disappears

kindness has no funeral

Life Lesson #234723946234

Oh heck yeah ...

Accept people as they are,

but place them

where they belong.

Always remember

you are the CEO of your life.

Acceptance frees you

from trying to change anyone.

Boundaries

protect your peace.

Not everyone

receives the same access,

the same closeness,

or the same seat at your table.

It's not cruelty.

It's self respect and preservation.

Enjoy your day, my friends!

Value

Be the person
who knows

the grass is greener

wherever they stand,

because 

they bring value

to every space

they enter.

You are needed.

You are vital.

You are enough.

Count

Love this!

In a society

that has you counting

money, pounds,

calories and steps ...

be a rebel

and

count your blessings!

Make Monday Magical!

A Saturday Ponderance

Since I just hit a rather large birthday number,
this one hits different ...

You are not

getting older,

you are increasing

in value.

Have a super Saturday!

Enjoy it all.

What are you feeding?

Whatever you feed
will grow.
Faith or fear.

Worry or confidence.

Doubt or belief.

What you invite

to your table,

will linger.

It's your choice

what you feed

and what you grow.

Kindness Matters

Whenever you have the chance
to be the light
in someone's life,
be it.

Smile.

Huge.

Greet.

Compliment.

Listen.

Love.

Sometimes, 

you save someone's day.

Sometimes,

you save someone's life.

You rarely know

the good you do

with simple niceties.

Your kindness matters.

YOU

Found a little gem yesterday.
Sharing today.

The only person

who has

to believe in you

is you.

But if it matters ...

I believe in you, too!

Have a beautiful day.

Light

If you know me,
not only am I a full glass person,
I am a light person.

This just made me smile ...

I hope you always

notice the light.

The way it slips

through the trees.

The way it rests

on a kitchen table.

The way it beams

from the heavens.

The way it finds it way

into the dark places.

Light has

a quiet persistence

that encourages me.

Live in the light.

Rooted

A wonderful way to start your week ...

Life becomes much lighter

when you understand

that your job

isn't to control

how others think

or act or feel.

Your job

is to stay rooted

in who you are,

act with integrity,

stay devoted

to your growth,

and to let go

of what isn't yours

to carry.

Sunday Edition

Rather Rockwell-esque, eh?
As is the following.
Not my norm, but am enjoying
following my fingers.

I do hope you enjoy ...


Kind Words
by Lyn Marinello ~ 9/2026

Kind words
are like wild flowers ~
random seeds
strewn about …

and through the lushest soil,
or the grittiest sand;
atop the rockiest crag,
or through the slimmest pavement crack …
what you have watered
will sprout blossoms
of light and love
the likes of which
you may never witness

but … oh
the garden you have grown.

All The Things

Today there are many national celebrations.
Instead of taking each one separately,

I'm gonna mash 'em all together -

as they are of one ilk.

Are ya ready? 

...

It is 

National Hug and High 5,

Encouragement 

as we are

Just One Human Family

Day!!!

See what I mean?

Get out there.

Look to help one another,

be kind to one another,

and remember

that we are allllll connected.

9.11

The best way
we can honor

those lost on 9.11

is

to be the people

we were

on 9.12.

Thankful Thursday

This is not mine - but I'm sharing!!!

The more grateful

you become,

the more beauty

you begin to notice.

Abundance often starts

with appreciation.

Grateful for you.

Grateful for the day.

A Quiet Moment

Today ...
I am wishing you

A Quiet Moment

to embrace

that you are worthy,

to acknowledge

that you are precious,

to remember

that you are loved.
