. When life threatens or a part of our life feels to be going down the drain, believing and taking an approach that ANYTHING (only positivities) IS POSSIBLE is a good way to live out life in all situations. Is it your dreams? ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! Is it your partner? ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! Is it your kids? ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! Is it your parents? ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! Is it on repayment of a fee borrowed? ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! Is…
There is an interesting thing that happens as you get deeper and deeper in the water. The water itself filters out parts of the light causing colors to disappear. First, the red disappears and then orange, yellow, green, blue and finally purple, and you are left with everything looking a dark rusty brown color. But as soon as you pull out a flashlight and shine it on an object the color becomes vivid and clear.…
It is a very sad fact that many of us can get so wrapped up in everyday life, in work and in our desire to be and achieve more, that we forget to stop and appreciate all of the amazing gifts in our lives. It is often not until we have lost something and we are jarred back to a moment of reality, that we realize just how important that lost item was to our…
BEWARE! For what you SPEAK of/to yourself could be a STIGMA that follows you for the REST of your life. In ANY situation you find yourself in, no matter how BLEAK the outcome might seem at the time, always have a mind that the situation would surely overturn for your good (and others) and ONLY for the good alone. Speaking life doesn’t only mean PROFESSING with your mouth a favorable outcome to your life or…
Earlier today, a friend helped me to understand a very important lesson about the memories that we carry with us from our childhood. As children, we don’t really know how important our day to day memories can become later in life. And we tend to remember what might seem to be odd little tidbits of information that are really unimportant. We don’t look up into an elderly grandparents eyes and try to store that look…
At the end of the day, happiness is an exercise. We’re trained to be discontent with everything we have. We need ‘the next best thing’ to be happy. We’re ugly unless we have the latest makeup pallets, incomplete until we’re in a relationship, and subpar until we have a large house and fancy car. We’re taught fear instead of love, and negativity sells. However, I’ve spent a lot of time dedicated to learning how to…
As I continue on with my adult life, I am so surprised by how some of my fellow grownups behave. Some act so impatient. They get antsy. They worry about this and they worry about that. They want to be in control of everything and if things don’t work out how they want, some go completely nuts! I want to say them, what is there to do be so worked up about? Yes, there…
I have reached a point in my life when I feel the need to survey my entire timeline, both my past and my future to be certain that I am taking full advantage of every day that is afforded me. I look back on events and conversations that helped me chart my course to the place that I am today and that also motivate me to reach my goals for the future. And one of…
There are some bits of knowledge that you just seem to know. You don’t remember where or how you learned them, they just seem to have been there forever. That is how I came to know my father’s father. For as long as I can remember, I just knew that he had been killed shortly before my dad was born. When I was a small child no one ever really spoke of the man, my…
Ash Wednesday, March 6 until Easter, April 21 The 40 days of Lent will be an opportunity for you to “go deep” with spiritual growth. We are all spiritual beings living in a physical world. Just as in nature, we are always expanding and growing. The spiritual aspects of our lives need to be nurtured and paid attention to in order to become the best we can be. Consider joining others on a spiritual journey…
