The Power of Being Called to Create
Sometimes, out of your deepest struggles comes your greatest calling.
Life Itself is Risky
“Life itself is risky. If I put up fences to keep out risk, I will also keep life out. I will not forego the next ten minutes of happiness on the premise that in eleven minutes there may be pain” Unknown
Believe you Deserve it
“You’ll never get something in your life unless you believe you deserve it. You have to believe and fall in love with yourself. Believe in yourself, your worth, your value” Dr. Phil
Allow Life to Happen
“Allow life to happen. Accept reality and the natural order and destiny of things…that there is a reason you don’t fully understand yet. Sometimes the strangest and most painful things work out for the best. All will be well, better than you think.”
“Set goals: In setting goals you cause things to happen and change. You accomplish projects, meet people, find yourself, change, go to interesting places, problems get solved, needs and wants get met and dreams come true. You go in the right direction. Goals give directions and purpose. If things don’t go as planned, that is where acceptance, trust, faith, and letting go come in. Goals set into motion a powerful psychological, spiritual, and emotional force. You do what you need to do, things begin to happen and things begin to come to us.”
“In setting goals, be patient and trust in God’s timing. Don’t take a goal off your list just because it hasn’t happened yet. Sometimes it takes years. It just hasn’t happened yet. Things happen when the time is right…when you’re ready, when God is ready, when the world is ready. Give up, let go, but keep the goal on your list.”

After a while…
After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t always mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises
and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead
with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child
And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is
too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much
so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of
waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure you really are strong you really do have worth
and you learn and you learn with every goodbye, you learn

Easter Conversations
When my son was four years old, on Easter morning he told me about the conversation he had with the Easter Bunny the night before. Now, almost twenty years later, our conversations are very different. Enjoy those precious little childhood conversations because they go by so fast. Happy Easter
