Show and Tell

If you love them, tell them. 

If you miss them, tell them. 

If you need them tell them. 

If you want them tell them. 

Tell them how you feel, how they make you smile, how they make you shake your head, how they warm your heart, tell them, tell them, tell them.

And then show them.

Play Show and Tell every day with the ones you love.

Saturday's Prayer for March 21, 2015

Dear Lord,
All over the news, we hear of devastation, horror and despair.  In our communities there is disruption, discord and anger.  Our homes and work places are rife with malcontent.  In the blink of an eye, our loved ones are taken from us.  At times it’s a long suffering illness that takes them from our loving arms, sometimes death comes without any warning; swift and unapologetic.  We scream and wail in pain and question all that is happening. 

There are no simple answers, no panacea that will immediately eradicate the pain.  Let today be the beginning of our reconciliation with you.  Let today be the start of an effort on our part to heal from within and offer healing in the form of kind, humanitarian and peaceful acts.  Let today be the day that we are no longer silent in showing our love for one another, for ourselves and most of all for you.  Let us all be the change that we seek. Amen.

Live for the Life of You

That time when so many things need to be said.
The time when so many things need to be done.
The moment when so many things cry for your attention
and all you want is calm.

The second when you're about to lay down.
The minute when you've just sat at the table to eat.
Just when you were about to unwind.
And you find that you're needed elsewhere.

That is the heart beat of life.
Don't deny it. Let it have its time.
Let it pulse withe love.
And breathe with peace

Let it sing with glory
and scream with anger.
Let it dance with joy
and wail with sorrow.

Do not deny it.
For to deny it means that you don't know how to live.
<3 Always & Peace ∞

Blogger BJ Neblett's "Here For A Season"

Love is in the air.  The fast and furious dash for trinkets, flowers, candy and lingerie for Valentine's Day may be over for some but not for people like BJ Neblett.  He has created a playground filled with his original short stories and poems and woven them with billboard hit songs from the past and present. Sweet and passionate, the daily dedication to love, gives us a chance to take a walk down memory lane and think about the one that got away, contemplate about the love we're looking for or smile fondly about the true love that we were lucky enough to find.

Today, some of my work is being featured on BJ Neblett's blog today. You can find his "loving tribute to love" on his poetry blog:

Keep Fighting

Too much shit on a personal level.  Ick and blah and bleh and meh and dadgummit and God is in control and deep breath and sigh and <<<cracking my neck>>> and <<<cracking my knuckles>>>  In God I trust.  

That moment when you deep breathe and continue to live strong even when you’re tired.  BREATHE for the LIFE of YOU.  #breathe #live #keepfighting

Prayers, the spice of Life

Prayers are more than just words whispered into your clasped hands or said with a bowed head. It is the direct link between you and God. It allows you to vent, to cry out the pain, to cry out in joy, to express your gratitude, to gain strength, wisdom, and peace; and to increase your patience, love and fortitude. It can re-direct your focus and it's a great way to start or end a meditative state.

Even if you don't believe - a prayer of hope & determination, when allowed to ignite from the heart, sends a message out to the universe that you are spiritually strong and capable to handle that which is on your life's path. Praying together forms a bond that allows you and your prayer partner(s) to unite in a passionate and compassionate circle of support.

Prayer joins everyone, it does not discriminate. Prayer is all inclusive; people from all walks of life and from mixed religious backgrounds can pray together. You can pray anywhere, at any time and with anyone. English Poet, William Cowper wrote: "...variety is the spice of life..." So too is prayer. It is the seasoning that enhances how you live.

So don't be reluctant to have a one on one prayer or a group prayer session with family, friends, or even strangers. Your religious distinction is irrelevant but your FAITH is necessary.
