Writing this way ahead of time because I am not taking my laptop on this trip. I cannot remember the last time I traveled without it. Gonna be weird. May 1 is the date for New Beginnings so it is time to start. 

 

Thank you so much for all the well wishes. Truly appreciated. I wish you all much love and inner peace.

  

 

  

Words to Ponder:

 Love.

 Gratitude.

 

JOY!
What brings me JOY lately...
* My Prince
 
 

Reminder:
Send me your JOY!
The compilation book will be little bits of joy and wisdom from me and YOU. Keep 'em coming. 
Deadline October 1.

 "The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you,
whose presence calls forth your best."

Reader SmartJim responded to this one from last week.

 

"Those who "slam" you and "provoke" you to do better can be beneficial, but we don't usually care for that, until later on."

 

Amen. The people and situations that challenge us are our best teachers, to face up to parts of ourselves that need work. It is hard, painful, and we don't like it. But in the end, we learn and grow and evolve. It hurts. We get better.

"Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it. "
