No problem

Emily loves flowers, hats, the color pink…..and overalls. I guess you could say she’s got the world in the palm of her hands.

Harmony

“Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.” Thomas Merton

Aaahhhhh!

Beautiful

January 28, 2016

Shine

January 28, 2016

“People are like stained – glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Say yes

January 27, 2016

The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure. Joseph Campbell

Colorado

January 27, 2016

This view of Pikes Peak is just one reason why people people flock to Colorado…..and why they stay so long.

Ambition

Getaways

January 27, 2016

“Become slower in your journey through life. Practice yoga and meditation if you suffer from ‘hurry sickness.’ Become more introspective by visiting quiet places such as churches, museums, mountains and lakes. Give yourself permission to read at least one novel a month for pleasure.” Wayne Dyer

The look

January 27, 2016

“You see this sword….you see this face….maybe it’s wise to think twice about messing with me.”

Enthusiasm

January 27, 2016

“I do have a childlike enthusiasm at times. I certainly enjoy life and get pleasure sometimes in childish things.” Brian Baumgartner

Balance

January 27, 2016

“The hardest thing to find in life is balance – especially the more success you have, the more you look to the other side of the gate. What do I need to stay grounded, in touch, in love, connected, emotionally balanced? Look within yourself.” Celine Dion

Awakenings

January 26, 2016

“Sometimes we look for those thunderous things to happen in our life for our lives to change or go in the other direction. We seek the miracle. We seek the parting of the seas, the moving of the mountains. But no, it’s a quiet thing. At least for me it was.” Ben Vereen

Discovery

January 24, 2016

“The starting point of discovering who you are, your gifts, your talents, your dreams, is being comfortable with yourself. Spend time alone. Write in a journal. Take long walks in the woods.” Robin S. Sharma

Forever

January 22, 2016

“To the outside world, we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other’s hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time.” Clara Ortega

The heart of the matter

January 22, 2016

These are times when we seem to be coming apart instead of banding together. Toxic political ads will soon be wearing on the nerves. Thankfully, there still are small pockets of people who see the truth and know the heart of the matter….that our only hope is to build unity and celebrate it each day.

Reach out

January 22, 2016

In every life there are times when the helping hand of a friend is like a lifeline to a sailor swept overboard. Surely, you have been there to offer such a hand….and hopefully will not hesitate to grab hold of one when the road is steep and you need a lift.

Bella

January 22, 2016

Bella is like most cats. She has an insatiable curiosity about nearly everything. Her eyes scan this way and that and there’s a sparkle that seems to be 24/7. Lucky are those who see with the same eyes….who view every moment as an unrepeatable miracle and each day as a gift from God.

Glorious

January 22, 2016

Know where to find the sunrise and sunset times and note how the sky looks at those times, at least once. Marilyn vos Savant
