Gratitude for the challenges!

Gratitude for the challenges! I am grateful for all of my problems. After each one was overcome, I became stronger and more able to meet those that were still to come. I grew in all my difficulties.” James Cash Penney, 1875-1971, Founder of J.C. Penney Stores This is kind of a hard one to swallow, especially if you are going through the problem as we speak. Let me be the first to say that it is in the discomfort of life that we truly get to know who we are and what we are ma

Do not be afraid to stand out in a crowd!

“The truth is that it doesn’t matter that people will laugh at you, think that you are weird, or feel your dreams seem totally unattainable – You must not listen to them. They are too entrenched in the limited herd mentality to see the greater possibilities that are available. . .What is different about you is what makes you special.” Bernard Hiller Are you afraid to embrace your differences because you fear that you will not fit in with others? That you will somehow be left

Don’t go to the grave with the music still in you.” Oliver Wendell Holmes Tap into the spirit in yourself.

Glorious Living is a State of Mind-

Glorious Living is a State of Mind- “Everyone can have a luxury life. It’s a state of mind. It’s not necessarily about having the biggest house. It’s about living life to the fullest.” Paul Miklas Developer The old adage “you cannot buy happiness” rings true. Material things may give you pleasure for a moment in time, but it will never replace the warm embrace of a loved one. The richest individuals I know are surrounded by love, are enveloped by joy, and are connected to

Service to humanity as the ultimate goal!

“The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.” Leo Tolstoy What does it mean to be humane? Is it a life marked by compassion, sympathy, or consideration for other humans and animals. Is it an awareness of the essence of the other? Is it the embodiment of respect to love of our neighbors like we would like them to love us? I believe the answer to these questions is a clear and resounding yes. And where the goal in life is to be humane in direct connection with others, t

Excerpt from The Sunrise of My Soul’s Bliss-The Process of Letting Go by Grabbing on to an Imp

The Process of Letting Go by Grabbing on to an Impossible “Oprah” Dream As the inevitable was creeping closer and closer, I refused to even allow any doubt that my mother would not recover to enter my consciousness. While I had experienced depression before when I was coping with the life changes of having a baby, I had never contemplated the kind of depression that accompanied grief. At this point in time, I was not willing to accept the real possibility that I would face a

There is beauty in the world!

Open Your Eyes to the Beauty in the World “Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.” Franz Kafka 1883-1924, Writer What a beautiful quote! I have always known that when I choose to see the beauty that surrounds me- the beauty that resides in me, in all people, creatures, nature, things and places- I will soften to my experience in this world. Being a softer person, allows the worry, stress and fatigue just melt away. So choose today to see beauty in your

Stop playing it safe!

Stop playing it safe and pay attention to the gifts and opportunities life presents you! “Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that know neither victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt There are times in life when the world can seem very overwhelming and the unknown very bewildering. There are times in lif

Act as if it were impossible to fail!

“Act as if it were impossible to fail.” Dorothea Brande 1893-1948, Writer and Editor While it is safe to say that we all have dreams, a lot of us may not have the confidence to pursue them, may not have a firm grasp on how to realize them, or may not be able to articulate them. Perhaps the ingredient that we are all missing is the confidence to believe in ourselves. While there are many of us who do dream, a lot of us are willing to forgo their manifestation because we fear

What will be your victory song?

“People are always blaming circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get ahead in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them.” George Bernard Shaw I have heard the common sad song of “if only . . . (fill in the blank)” too many times. In fact, I have been the voice of that song in my own life on several occasions. After my day, week, or month of a full on pity

Look Beyond Imperfections!

Look Beyond Imperfections “Being happy doesn’t mean everything is perfect. It means you have decided to look beyond the imperfections.” Gerard Way Musician and Writer Wherever you are today, I am sure that you can look around and point out things that you can improve with yourself, with your life, or with your world. Unfortunately, it is so much more acceptable to society to point out our negative attributes than to champion the good qualities we have developed. A healthy d

A day like any other day- or is it?

It is very early still. I have been very spoiled lately as my sleeping patterns have allowed me to rest until the otherwise normal waking hours. But not today! Perhaps this is because of the excitement for all the wonderful possibilities that lie ahead for me – I would like to think so! Then again each day is filled with possibilities. A chance encounter that changes the direction of your life’s trajectories. A long awaited reunion that closes the gap of time in an instant.

Peace in Gratitude!

Peace in Gratitude! “Life has to be more simple. We have so many gifts. If you want peace, open your eyes to what you have around you and say thank you.” Beverly Donofrio Time to talk about having an attitude of gratitude. Life can get hectic because we layer on expectation over expectation. Life can get very stressful because we are fed on a daily basis the suggestion that we need to work harder to acquire more and more. Life can sometimes be unfulfilling because we are

Endurance through tough times!

“Become more spiritual. Spend more time praying, giving, helping others, loving. Volunteer and express generosity and love. Get rid of pride, ego, selfishness, anger, guilt, vanity and ambition.

Thought of the morning- Take a leap of kindness!

“With one kind gesture you can change a life. One person at a time you can change the world.” Steve Maraboli Author, Speaker and Radio Show Host I love the notion that I can change the world for the better. I love the notion even more that I can do so with the simplest of acts, a kind gesture to another. Sometimes, we need to be inspired by the example set for us by others. I have the great fortune to work with someone whose actions embody the word kindness on a daily basis

Support Group #1- the Divine Mentoring Group.

I needed help. Support. The loss of my mom was too much for me to handle on my own. Why is it that when I was going through such a challenging time, I thought that I could handle it on my own? Hospice support groups were suggested,also others recommended that i look to my church to see if there were any programs being offered there. I was convinced that I would have to suffer in silence because i did not want others to see how weak I was. But as with all courageous acts,
