Reflections of the heart, mind and soul.
Under the snow in the cold damp earth there are seeds of new life. Winter hides the secret of renewal. One day those seeds will surely burst with energy driving shoots up to break through the top soil. My heart explodes with thoughts of spring, new growth, and the blossoms that fill the air with…
How unresolved my life is right now! There are so many problems hanging in the air that I feel like I’ve fallen into a deep well in the woods. I am confronted with the results of my poor judgment in the past and my limitations in the present. The only thing I have resolved to…
I learned a long time ago not to make a big long list of expectations for the new year, in other words, not to set myself up for big disappointments. That doesn’t mean I’m not motivated or that I don’t intend to accomplish things. I intend to accomplish whatever needs to be, and I’m motivated…
My sticky note to myself, made with textgram. In the midst of all the ups and downs of life, make it a priority to love, laugh and be grateful in 2013!
I went to Israel & Palestine one year during the week before Christmas. I went to the site that is recognized as Jesus birthplace; a cave under the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.

I’m so grateful for your visits, likes, comments and ping backs on my blog. I just wanted to let you all know that I’m going to take a break from blogging and visiting your blogs to be with my mother before she leaves this world.

Today the sun is shining, the air is cool, the season is changing. Time to take a deep breath and savor the smells, the new oxygen, the tingling crispness that comes with autumn. Then breathe out the old season, past woes and wishes, letting go of what is gone. Today is a new day with it’s own unique…
“The most ignorant among mankind have some truth in them. We are all sparks of truth.” Mohandas K. Gandhi
“Each person has inside a basic decency and goodness. If he listens to it and acts on it, he is giving a great deal of what it is the world needs most. It is not complicated but it takes courage. It takes courage for a person to listen to his own goodness and act on…
“To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather that luxury; and refinement rather than fashion…to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.” William Ellery Channing, 1780-1842 American Minister
