Still Blessed



Have you ever had day when the first thought which came to your mind after an accident was.."I knew that I should have stayed at home."  Well, after all, home is safe. Right?  Well... not always.  Sometimes what may appear as a bad event may be a blessing.

Today, I ran into an old retread on one of the busiest expressways in Dallas.  Due to the heavy traffic, I could not dodge there thread.  Now, I am waiting for minor repairs on my auto.

What's the blessing?  No one was injured.  Material possessions can be repaired and replaced.  A life is far more precious.

Americans have become slaves to work and technology. We don't take the time to share a cup of tea with a neighbor or simply w...

Some of the most important lessons, I have learned on this 12 year journey are follows: 1) Seek and demonstrate unconditional love, and Learn to love yourself. 2) Remove toxic friends and relationships from your life. 3) Forgive those who have caused harm in your life. This forgiveness is liberating. 4) Be opened to love and seek adventure. 5) Turn your life, dreams, needs, desires and hopes over to God. 6) Live each day as if it were your last day on plant earth. 7) Find out which talents bring you joy and peace. Used these talents. 8) Continue to breathe and never stop dancing...it is good for the soul. 9) Take care of your body by ...
