Love

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, vanity, richness and all the others, including Love. 

One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment. When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help. 

Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?"  Richness answered, " I'm sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere." Love understood.

Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel.  Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please."  "I can't help you", Vanity said, "You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."  Love understood.

Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, "Sadness, please let me go with you." 
Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to be alone now."  Love understood only too well.

Then, Love saw Happiness.  Love cried out, " Happiness, please take me with you." But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling to him. Love began to cry, but understood.

Then, Love heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder. 

Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?" "It was Time", Knowledge answered. 

"But why did Time help me when no one else would?", Love asked. 

Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

It's Just A Bad Day, Not A Bad Life

I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, regardless of the situation I may be in, for I have learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness..or misery depends on our disposition and not upon our circumstances.

After all, aren't we all just fumbling through, one day at a time, trying to get it right 99.9% of the time?   Of course, most of us are hopeful to find a heart that's walking toward us and not away.  

To have Faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see.

As a woman/girl/female, it is hard to not define ourselves by our photograph - as a sum total, we are not our "hair" (frizzy, beautiful, highlighted, straight, curly), we are not our feet (colossally large, average or small), nor (thankfully) are we our thighs (muscular, toned or dimpled)...what I'm trying to say, is that there is much more than how we "look"...we are loving creatures with quirks, talents, passions, scarred but not flawed, and flawed by still beautiful.

So, do me a favor and choose Passion over comfort, choose magic over predictability, choose to love, choose to follow your dream, choose to awaken brilliance in ordinary moments.

All You Need Is Love

There’s nothing more compelling than a random act of love. It’s the little things we can do for our family, our friends and the capricious people that we encounter throughout our lives. The simple act  of doing something for someone, coupled with the element of surprise, is enough to melt someone’s heart. Showing love is beyond powerful and brings an immediate sense of joy to our hearts. Focus on giving love in the imperfections of life. Honor the cycle of love.

Destiny Is Half The Journey..The Rest Is Yours To Make

Ever hear that old (or maybe not so old) euphamism about life.. "you are either one who likes the merry-go-round or the rollercoaster in life."   The meaning here is that there are people who like the merry-go-round, it's predictable, it goes around and around, you can count on it at a certain speed, no thrills, no frills.  We need these steadfast merry-go-round people.  Then, there are the rollercoaster lovers...these people seek the thrill rides, they are fast, have dips, twirls and can scare the living pee right out of you.  The world also needs the rollercoaster type people.

I'm definitely a rollercoaster person; however, for some reason, I've been stuck on the Ferris Wheel, spinning me around until I have lost perception.  The little voice inside me has become a fairly loud whisper..."Thank you, I'll be getting off here if you don't mind."

Most things in our daily lives are so mediocre, the one thing that shouldn't be is love...that should be crazy, passionate and on fire, never mediocre.
