The Simple Things in Life 

They call them the simple things in life. The things that come to us we cannot buy.

The sunrise, the sunset, a running brook, the crashing of ocean waves, the birth of a life.

I call them Miracles.

A bird’s song, the feel of the sun on your skin, the magnificence of multicolored autumn leaves.

They must be Miracles.

The first snowflakes falling softly on your face, the pre-dawn sky lit up in yellows and pinks.

Aren’t they Miracles?

A tiny green shoot breaking through the soil, the butterfly emerging from its cocoon, the circle of life.

Definitely Miracles.

The first glance of a newborn’s face, arms and legs unfolding from the womb, mouth wide open in a silent cry and then…..the first breath, the first cry.

The miracle of life.

A tiny baby’s fingers wrapped around your own, the softness of a newborn’s skin, a mother’s love, a father’s love.

Miracles indeed.

How many miracles do you miss every day? 

How many wonders and mysteries unfold right before you?

Open your eyes to the simple things in life, to the miracles that surround you.

This poem is dedicated to my brand new baby granddaughter Jordan Ramdial born on September 27th 2013.

Darkness cannot cover light.

The thing about darkness is that all you need is the smallest sliver of light and the darkness is dispelled. That's fascinating to me. You can't really cover light with darkness. The light is still there shining, you just can't see it.

I was thinking about that when I was watching the Super Moon at the beach last night. These big dark clouds kept covering up our view of the moon, but the moon was there behind the clouds. It wasn't shining as brightly or as visible, but certainly it was still there. Then, when the clouds moved, the moon shone brighter than ever shining on the ocean water. It was spectacular.

So when you feel that darkness (negative thought, worry anxiety, etc.) in your life, remember that the light is still there. You just have to look for that small glimmer.

How do you do that?

By thinking about one, just one thing you’re thankful for in your life. I know it’s hard. You don’t want to be thankful when you’re in the negativity. You don’t feel thankful and honestly you don’t want to. I know this because I had it happen to me last week.

BUT, if you can force yourself to look at what’s good in your life, (it can be the smallest thing. Like having air conditioning on a hot June day in Florida) you can break through the darkness. That one little glimmer as your heart FEELS the appreciation is all you need. Then think of another thing and another and another until it’s like an avalanche of appreciation and the darkness goes. If must because once light is there darkness is not.

May light shine brightly in your life. Remember, darkness cannot cover light!

Have a wonderful day!

Focus on Love

These precious babies and wonderful educators lost their lives because two lost souls chose to destroy other people in order to get our attention. They have gotten our attention and our facebook walls display anger, rage, despair, fear, hopelessness.

I have decided to focus my attention on sending love to the families who lost their loved ones in this tragedy including the family of the one shooter who also died. May they feel loved and supported in this time of loss and grief.

Love can conquer darkness when no legislation can. Love can overcome all things. If only the shooters  had known they were truly and fully loved, this tragedy  may have never occurred. If only they had known how to love themselves. Let this be a reminder for us to love ourselves, our families and everyone we come into contact with. May love shine brightly thus overcoming the darkness.

I will be sending Condolence’s cards to Sandy Hook Elementary for each of the victim’s family’s. If you want to join me in this effort here is the address: 12 Dickinson Drive, Sandy Hook CT 06482.

Thanksgiving

Appreciation takes being in the NOW, leaving the past behind, forgetting about tomorrow.

What’s great about your life right NOW?

What beauty surrounds you?

Who's loving eyes do you behold?

What’s right with your life TODAY in this instant?

What’s music to your ears?

What makes your heart sing?

Who adores you?

Who makes your heart swell with love?

RIGHT NOW, RIGHT HERE, TODAY.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING and may your heart overflow with appreciation today and every day.

I thank each one of you for enriching my life, for the love I feel from you and for the joy you bring to me.

Releasing Worry

Worry is like a black cloud bogging me down, clouding my mind, keeping me prisoner to what I don’t’ want. As I let go, the black cloud rises, leaving me feeling lighter, carefree and ready for all goodness to engulf me fully. I’m glad to be alive and part of this wonderful Universe filled with all I want and desire. I embrace the good, the miracles that are evident in my life and I keep that black cloud away by maintaining my focus on the best always.

You Deserve Abundance

Abundance is not deserved or earned. It is already part of you. - Mari Mitchell Porter

What are you excuses for not having abundance? 

Because you don't have a degree?
Because  you do what you love and it's not really possible make money doing what you love?
Because you  hear others say how hard they work for their money?
Because you don't believe you make a good living at what you do?
Becaue the economy is bad?
Because others tell you you're not working hard enough?
Because your family doesn't come from money?

The truth is: You ARE worthy of all abundance just because you exist.
It's yours for the taking. You don't have to do anything to PROVE you deserve abundance.
You don't have to do anything or everything perfectly.
You don't have to suffer.
You don't have to wait.
You don't have to be patient.

Abundance is yours because you exist, because you want it and Source is offering it to you.

But, to receive this abundance you must truly believe it's yours for the taking and that requires a change in your belief system. You haven't allowed abundance into your life because of false beliefs. Because you haven't felt deserving of it. Because you refuse to believe how loved, adored, cherised and wanted you really are.

Abundance is here for you. Just open yourself to receive the abundance that is already yours. 
Just open up to it and watch abundance like you've never know before or imagined come into your life..
