I wish, I wish that I could know
the places I have yet to go,
the ways I’ll change. the things I’ll do,
the special dreams I’ll come to know,
the significant moments,
and thoughts,
I’ll make come true.
I wish, I wish that I could see,
the life that lies ahead of me.

Today’s Achievement Marks
a fond farewell to yesterday,
a warm welcome to tomorrow.
the sunset of a beautiful part of the past,
the sunrise of a bright new future.
the beginning of new challenges,
the promise of success in the future,
and the anticipation of ever greater happiness.

When we ponder the stars,
when we reach for our dreams,
we’re never bothered
by how far they seem.
Instead, we are inspired
by the beauty of the vision.
Dreams are like stars
brilliant and permanent.

Cherish your yesterdays,
dream your tomorrows,
but live your todays.
Tomorrow
belongs to those
who fully use today.

It is in dreaming the greatest dreams
seeking the highest goals
that we build the brightest tomorrows’
Tomorrows are only today’s
waiting to happen.

From the pier, I see you drifting on the ocean.
My little sailboat is calling.
It cries out to me beckoning that I travel upon the open sea.
Let’s sail away wherever the winds take us.
Can you feel the briny water on your sturdy bow?
I feel the oceans salty breeze upon my face, a special caress.
Aimlessly we’ll sail along finding new passages of adventure.
Discovering magical islands where rest and solace are key, and rainbows create a peacefully blissful scenery.
Enchanting islands will embrace me as they appear, while images of amicable islanders wave a welcome greeting.

~ If I could Interview God ~
Why do you allow us to have pain?
If you never felt pain, then, how would you know that I am a healer?
Why must we pray?
If you never had to pray, then, how would you know that I am a deliverer?
Why do you give us so many obstacles?
If you never had a trial, then, how could you call yourself an overcomer?
Why do you give us sadness?
If you never felt sadness, then, how would you know that I am a comforter?
Why do you allow us to make mistakes?
If you never made a mistake, then, how would you know that I am a forgiver?
Why do you take us to where we feel broken?
If you were never broken, then, how would you know that I can make you whole?
Why must we suffer?
If you never had any suffering, then, how would you know what I went through?
Why must we walk through the fires of life?
If you never went through the fire, then, how would you become pure?
Why must we make mistakes only to correct them later?
If I never corrected you, then, how would you know that I love you?
When will we have our own power?
If you had all power, then, how would you learn to depend on me?
Why can’t we have a perfect life?
If your life was perfect, then, what would you need me for?
Love, God

The concept for these questions came from this video I had seen several years ago.
I hope you’ll take the time to view it. I found it most enlightening.
~Enjoy ~
Just a Thought: often when we lose hope and think this is the end,
GOD smiles from above and says, “Relax, it’s just a bend, not the end!”

Today, I’m trying to get myself back into writing on my blog.
It’s been a difficult start in 2020. I wish I could reboot the year.
I plan on being more consistent. I don’t know what direction I will journey.
I do know I will showcase more writing and fewer challenges.
Everyone, please stay safe during this COVID 19 time.
We’re all fighting the battle together.
This is a post from 2014 to get me back on track.
Ironically, it’s befitting for our lives now.
I gift myself with the power to LOVE myself.
My LOVE will provide for me a life without restrictions or judgments.
LOVE, you show me the path I must travel.
You are my direct route to my destiny.
Today, everyone will be touched by my HEART.
I want the LOVE in me to be the light that brings LOVE to you.
🙏🏻Namaste🙏🏻

Until one feels the spirit of Christmas, there is no Christmas.
All else is outward display; tinsel and decorations.
For it isn’t the holly, it isn’t the snow.
It isn’t the tree, not the firelight’s glow.
It’s the warmth that comes to the hearts of men
when the Christmas spirit returns again.

May the Christmas spirit fill your hearts with an overflowing love that lasts the whole year.
Blessings … Merry Christmas Wishes – Feliz Navidad

If you’re still having a difficult time deciding on gifts here are
Christmas gift suggestions:
To your enemy, forgiveness
To your opponent, tolerance
To a friend, your heart
To all, charity
To every child, a good example
To yourself, respect
You can’t be everything to everyone …
You need to be everything to one: yourself.
Often times, we live our lives based on what others expect of us.
If we don’t meet their expectations we wallow in self-doubt and deprecation.
We can’t bare the pain we see in their eyes or read in their words.
Our lives are ours to live in our own way. We can never please everyone.
Yes, we can hope to be seen as who we truly are.
Unfortunately, we can only be a beacon of light guiding others to the path of kindness while healing our own wounds.
If we embrace our own journey with open eyes and travel to the places and moments that heal us, we will find greater joy for life everyday.
Every moment we savor in our lives is an immense gift of peacefulness we couldn’t see before.

When your life passes you by
until you believe that you’re no one
Every time you’re tempted to cry
make a om of your own
Take your time
Searching high and low
Try to climb every doubt every soul
Through the sky, there’s a path you know
Take your time to catch the frame of every rainbow
Free times for a lifetime
Sound of the universe
Waking the dream of the sleep
Suddenly silence
Take your time
Searching high and low
Try to climb every doubt every sorrow
Through the sky, there’s a path you know
Take your time to catch the frame of every rainbow
