    Dreams Can Come True
    If you take the time to think about what you want in life…
    Get to know yourself
    Find out who you are
    Choose your goals carefully
    Be honest with yourself
    Don’t become preoccupied with yourself
    Or think about yourself so much that you analyze every word and action
    Find many interests and pursue them
    Find out what is important to you
    Find out what you are good at
    Don’t b...

  • MY FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE e-mail sent by kjl1951

    Thursday, November 20, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    WHERE DO I GO
    WHEN I AM FEELING LOW?
    IS THERE A PLACE
    WHERE I CAN FEEL SAFE?
    SAFE FROM PAIN
    AND DAYS FULL OF RAIN.
    IT IS IN A PLACE IN MY MIND
    WHERE I CAN GO AND FIND
    MY OWN FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE
    TO CHANGE MY MOOD.
    IT IS A TINY PLACE
    WHERE MY THOUGHTS DON'T RACE.
    IN MY MIND
    I USUALLY FIND
    A WARM PLACE
    WHERE I CAN FIND A TRACE
    A TRACE OF CALM TO THINK
    WITH NO PEN OR INK
    I GO OVER WITHOUT REPRES...

    Tuesday, November 25, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    Accepting the grace of god into our lives is all about living the word. Not just saying it but living it as an article of faith, which is what of course it is.

  • Eye See You

    Sunday, September 6, 2009 | An Inspiring story

     
    I had a friend of mind ask me recenlty why no one seems to look you in the eyes anymore. Have we gotten so busy as a society that we dont dare to look up anymore. Have our ipods plugged our ears, and our cell phones fogged our brains and txt ing... where does that take us.
    Here is my theory. As a child we awaken to the world in pure Oneness. We see everything as us. Children will even say &q...
