Be Present

As life gets busier, I often have to stop & remind myself to remain present in my day. I can not lose sight of the value of minute. It only takes a second to make a difference in someone else’s life.

A smile, a kind word, a moment listening to someone.

Open a door for a stranger, say good morning or have a nice day. Replace fear with compassion. Life is filled with a lot of beautiful moments. We just have to remember to look up and love. It’s such a powerful thing.

Under the Same Sky

Under the same sky. We hope, we dream, we pray

Under the same stars we love & wish for greater things.

We are all on the same earth, wishing for a better world. Looking for a brighter future, working hard to strive and survive. Searching for peace and looking for answers.

We may look a little different, but we are all human, in this together, from this life and into the next.

May each road we travel be one we can be proud of. May we all live without judgement & love beyond the ground we walk on. May we never lose our faith to believe in a life filled with love & compassion for all man kind.

Die Doing Something

I’ve had a few people express concern for my safety, because I am often doing things, that I probably shouldn’t.

I have to admit that I am learning to get help, more often. I really don’t want to hurt myself. After all, we do only get one body in this life. We should probably treat it well , so it stays strong & lasts the lifetime.

BUT, with that said. I know, we are all going to die, someday & No matter when it is. I hope my obituary reads that I died trying. Trying something, doing something, seeing something or being something, other than complacent in life.

I am very capable of relaxing & going with the flow. Hanging out and just enjoying the day, anywhere with anyone or by myself. I don’t lead a reckless life.

But I want to “live” in my life, not just exist in it. I want to be present, in all the moments I have left. There can be no room for fear. I know I could die tomorrow, with no reason or explanation. So with that thought, I must leave no rock unturned. I must work, play and love every moment I am gifted. I must believe, that “Yes I Can!!!” , Will always get me farther, than waiting until tomorrow.

Someday, I will no longer be here. Someday, I hope someone says she died trying & God I loved her for it!!!

Getup and reach!!!! for one more day, be blessed with breath & embrace every last moment!! Die trying 💕 Don’t give up.
