Available when and where you are with hours
that fit your schedule and your life.

Inspiration from Carla Rose

 Mother

The joy of a Mothers Love

The gift of a heart filled with one desire

The focus of all that is real,

This is the Love of a Mother.

Unlike any other, only one can be someones Mother

When we wonder how we can go another day

We remember she was always there to light our way

Regardless of her need, regardless of the cost, she gave, and she gave, unselfishly free

Mother, not just a word, a feeling, a need

Without this precious angel life would be an unwatered seed

Thank you my guide, thank you my soul-for in you  I realize my goal

To live, to share, to breathe the continuation of having you here

The sadness I feel each passing year-gone only to touch-never to feel

Mother I love you, I feel you so close-stay for a while allowing for the expression of the depths of my heart

Today, last year, next year-an eternity

Happy Mothers Day-to me and to you!

Change-Reflection Along The Way 

As I approach the second act I realize what is still undone

Allowing the presence of mind and spirit to address this void

I contemplate the journey.

When the curtain falls, as it must some day

I will remember, I lived for today!

Never regretting time unspent

I savor the moments, the seconds, the hours, the days

Richness in spirit, integrity of heart

Together or alone with love; a great start

Gratitude for all of lifes bountiful gifts

Revelling in the knowledge-life can never be unchanged-nor would I want it so

Treasuring the friendships amassed, I celebrate!

For now a break in intensity of thought-for later a strength to rise above

With Peace I enter this new decade.

DATE WITH DESTINY

 In the beginning there was quiet

As we progressed, a force came forth

"The beauty unheard, the words to be seen"

Step up-Lead with Love

Share the essence of change

Today, tomorrow, forever!

A part, integrated-a whole-never separate again

Reinforce the beliefs

Rearrange the wonder of complete Joy

A day, a moment-a Life!

Only as a true being with excitement can real change occur

Give the gift of the meadows-shared in the storms

Male+Female= a force not to be questioned

The colors resonate bathed in the warmth of understanding.

Remembering Mom

1970 a year that is imprinted in my soul.

Jane was taken far too young and far too soon from my young life

Her spirit was alive, joyous, engaging

The love I felt from this woman sustains me even today.

The gifts she gave me have allowed me to provide wonderment to her grandsons

Oh the pain of her loss in my world-never embracing my sons

Perpetuating her gifts to me, Ben and Daniel carry them into adulthood.

My heart still reserves a special place for the giver of my life

Never will you be loss or forgotten-forever imprinted in my soul

My wish and promise is to make you proud by serving others with the

selflessness you showed me as a girl.

Mother, I love you today with as big heart as the 10 year old child I was when you died.

Thank you for the abundance you gave me.

To My Unborn Child

 

The gift of a child-is special indeed

Sharing in God's creation-a want and a need

For years I have waited for you to arrive

Born out of love, with love you will thrive

Today I ask God to shine a smile upon me

Allowing for your presence to set you free

Welcomed into our home for a lifetime to share

Explained as a blessing with loving care

A growth and a knowledge of you I will learn

Your love and acceptance, in time, I will earn

ready for your arrival as never before

Excited to discover just what is in store

You will surely be loved, nurtured, and cherished

For all that you bring is all that was wished

Together we await your arrival

Wise Old Owl

Author: Unknown
A wise old owl sat in an oak,
The more he heard, the less he spoke;
The less he spoke, the more he heard;
Why aren't we all like that wise old bird?

 

All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten

by Robert Fulghum

- an excerpt from the book, "All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten"


All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten.
ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW about how to live and what to do
and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not
at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the
sandpile at Sunday School. These are the things I learned:


Share everything.

Play fair.

Don't hit people.

Put things back where you found them.

Clean up your own mess.

Don't take things that aren't yours.

Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.

Wash your hands before you eat.

Flush.

Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.

Live a balanced life - learn some and think some
and draw and paint and sing and dance and play
and work every day some.

Take a nap every afternoon.

When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic,
hold hands, and stick together.

Be aware of wonder.
Remember the little seed in the styrofoam cup:
The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody
really knows how or why, but we are all like that.

Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even
the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die.
So do we.

And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books
and the first word you learned - the biggest
word of all - LOOK.

Everything you need to know is in there somewhere.
The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation.
Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.

Take any of those items and extrapolate it into
sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your
family life or your work or your government or
your world and it holds true and clear and firm.
Think what a better world it would be if
all - the whole world - had cookies and milk about
three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with
our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments
had a basic policy to always put thing back where
they found them and to clean up their own mess.

And it is still true, no matter how old you
are - when you go out into the world, it is best
to hold hands and stick together.

Don't Quit

"When Things go wrong, as they sometime will, When then road you are travelling seems all uphill, When the funds are low, and the debts are high, and you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, rest if you must, but, don't you quit. Life is queer with it's twists and turns, as every one of us sometimes learns, and many a failure turns about, when you might have one had you stuck it out.  Don't give up though the pace seems slow-you may succeed with another blow.  Success is failure turned inside out.  The silver tints of the clouds of doubt.  And you never can tell how close you are; it may be near when it seems so far.  So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-it's when things seem worst that you must not quit."
