WORDS

My wish for you….

May the Sun shine upon you and bring you radiance

May it lighten your path to ultimate happiness

May you never fear the World, but embrace it

To take each step as if your last

May the moon bring you the best of dreams

May the stars guide you as they twinkle in your eyes

May a rainbow give you hope and color in your life

May the rain wash away your doubts, fears, and worry

You are my Sky and I bless you with all the above and unlimited love

 

Forever yours, 

mom

MY MANY BLESSINGS

I live comfortably. I eat til my belly is full. I bathe in clean water. I sleep comfortably, next to my husband each night, whom I still love as much as the first days we fell. I have more clothes than I could ever need. More drink than I could ever drink. I have travelled and stepped foot upon many lands. I am well educated and because of my knowledge I seek for more. I am one with the Universe, I have found my quiet place within, I Believe. I have been hurt and become stronger. I have found my passion and express it regularly. I have a strong connection with people. I am blessed with many friends and most importantly a healthy supportive family. My biggest gift of all is sent from only the Divine, to Create Life! To nuture and care for that being to grow. To feel that miracle inside me, made with pure love, and to watch it be brought into this world, to develop into its own being. Words cannot express such a blessing. And I not only got to experience this just once, but another beautiful little miracle is brewing this very moment! When I feel those tiny kicks I am reminded of my many many blessings.....

THE SIMPLE LIFE

BUDDHA.JPG

I open my eyes and take a deep breath of fresh air to wake the soul

The Sun files through the blinds and into the room

As I peer through them, I am struck with a beautiful sight

A golden ablaze shining over the tips of the distant Mountains

Brightening up the landscape below

The Grass blows around gently, whichever way the the Wind directs it to

Leaves flutter on the Trees, waving and flirting with the morning Sun

As Birds rest upon their branches they make music for all to hear

Clouds drift over slowly, relaxing in the bright blue Sky

Patient and Peaceful

I rest my head back upon my pillow and sigh with relief. and respect..Thanking the Creator for life’s simplicity without any expectations

SACRIFICE

When you love someone, you make a sacrifice. Whether it be of your time, energy, or love. You care for it and nurture it because it means something more to you. You wish it no harm, only pure happiness. You devote your pleasure to cause it no pain. You cherish it and will give more if you have to..to heal it, free, it, bless it. You wish for nothing less than the best and bathe in glory to watch it in peace and pure bliss.
