As I look back on my life, I can reflect on those times when I allowed myself to be held back by what others said to me...at one point in my life, I felt intimidated by some people. As I stand now...I don't allow intimidation...I have come to realize in my life that I have CHOICE as to how my life will go...God and I are the writers and I dare not give anyone else a pen to write their version of how it should go. I remember as a child, as I lay asleep before waking in the morning, I would hear a voice within me gently asking me, "Are you ready to start this day?! It's time to get up!!" No, it wasn't anyone trying to wake me, but I felt it was a heavenly presence. As I grew up, that same presence was with me...like a guardian angel I guess you can say...Something...someone was always there with me.I thank God for this journey I've been on...I've been allowed to live and experience so much more than most. I've been allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. I thank God for having that presence in my life...protecting me and guiding me like a compass, as I make my way Home.

WE GROW IN SPIRIT WITH EACH LESSONLEARNED THROUGHEXPERIENCE...LET US BE THANKFULNO MATTER HOW PAINFULTHE LESSON!!!

Each stage of your lifeis like petals of a flower... unfolding and opening until it comes to full bloom...You will blossom and then you die...But know that this is not your ending.

Funny thing about the darkness... It can be defeated by the dimmest shimmer of light!So on your darkest days let even a little bit of light in

We all have the same root, and are connected...To tap into this connectedness we must go within.

Pick the things you do in this day wisely.

A RELATIONSHIP SHOULD NOT HAVE LOVE THAT HAS CONDITIONS.THE LOVE SHOULD BE UNCONDITIONAL.A RELATIONSHIP WILL NOT SURVIVE IFTHERE IS NOT THIS LOVE.One should have a blending of physical, mental, and spiritual and not just physical or one part, and not the others.
