Do You Believe in Miracles?
From: Velinda Peyton
I do! I’ve been the recipient of them and I’ve seen them. I know miracles exits.
I’ve read that all you have to do is believe, ask for a miracle and it will come. Miracles are like prayer. You have to ask and be open to them arriving. Maybe not the way you thought, but miracles the same. So I asked! Continue reading Do You Believe in Miracles?
All The Days of Your Life
Native American Prayer
I give you this one thought to keep
I am with you still – I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awake in the morning’s hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not think of me as gone
I am with you still in each new dawn
Today is the Beginning
I’ve learned that
No matter what has happened or hasn’t happened to you in your life
No matter how heartbreaking
No matter what you lost
No matter who deceived you
No matter what dreams were broken
No matter the what wrong decisions you made, what opportunities you passed up, what regrets you may have
No matter how devastating the circumstances
No matter how long you have suffered
No matter how old you are
Today is the beginning
Today is the day to finally change it all
Life has only one direction
Who you are is worth it all
So what are you going to do with today?
“What has been in your life up till now has nothing to do with what still can be”
Judgment
I’ve often thought about how much opportunity we pass up when we judge people. Judgment is not necessarily based on fact. Judgment is not necessarily based on knowledge. Judgment is about opinion. And what if that opinion is wrong? Judgment is more frequently about criticism and fear than anything real. What if you just passed up the best opportunity you could have had at the moment because of a wrong opinion? Let go of judgment and give everything a chance.
Love
There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer. Emmet Fox
Success
“Do what you do that feels effortless. I want the freedom to do what is in my heart”
“You have two choices…endure the deprivation of failure or adjust to the sacrifices of success” Tom Ferry
Vision
“When I was a kid in school and finished my class work or a test early, I would take out a piece of paper and write my name in three columns on every line. I was the only kid in the class who did that. One day the teacher came over to ask me why I would always write my name over and over again. I told her that one day I was going to be famous and people are going to ask me for my autograph so I am practicing writing it now” Tyrone Montgomery, NFL player for the Oakland Raiders
This River Called Life, A Letter to My Children
Today, my ebook was published on both Kindle and The Nook. The preview for the book is listed below as well as a review by my proofreader. She read the book and was so motivated by it to change her life that she started her own business. See reviews and links below.
Preview for book: There comes a time when you know the world you are living in is not your home. When that happens it does not matter the existing circumstances. It does not matter how late in life you may have waited. What matters is that you are ready to jump into the life your soul has longed for. This is when you feel alive. This is when you know everything you have been prepared for is coming together, and it is time…time to finally live who you are. This realization is magical and resonates possibly for the first time with your life’s purpose. My message is don’t wait for what you know you are born to do. When you have a talent, it needs to be shared. When you have a dream, it needs to be lived. When your heart is leading you and your passion is talking to you, listen! Life is about your unique journey, and the difference you can make. There is nothing that will compare with your decision to finally go in the direction you are meant to go and all the magic that happens from that decision. This is when life finally falls together.
Originally written only for my Children as inspiration and guidance about life, This River Called Life, A Letter to My Children is encouragement…about taking control of your destiny instead of accepting what life lays in your lap. It’s about finding yourself, believing in your dreams, believing in yourself, leaving yesterday behind, and creating a world as unique as you are. What has been in your life up till now has nothing to do with what can be.
Review: It is my distinct pleasure to have read the first draft of Velinda Peyton’s new book This River Called Life, A Letter to My Children. She writes in such a clear, informative manner and is inspirational in her encouragement of others to pursue their dreams. Consequently, I have started a business with my husband after reading her book because I also have found my passion. In addition, she tunes in so well to many of the longings we all have, in every aspect of our lives. One particular passage that moves me is her description of coming across a deer in a remote area of Colorado. Her description is so poetic and moving that I feel as if I am actually there with her in the moment. I often find myself wanting to reread certain passages because the writing is simply that good. Fantastic job, Velinda! Cathy
