Valentines Gratitude

I've never cared for Valentine's Day.  Too much pressure to show love that should have been shown all year. If you love someone- actually all the people in your life- act to them as if it's Valentines day every day. Gifts and cards occasionally for no reason, an extra "I love you", the warm feeling, the gratitude. (something we all need to do more of in this hectic life of ours)

On this Valentine's day- take a moment to be grateful for all the loved ones in your life. Add one sentence that explains why.  Example, I am so grateful to have Alli & Nick in my life, thank you. They make me smile and laugh and really feel in my soul, ways that I never would have without them. Children are the definition of unconditional love.  Thank you for my family, my cat, etc.

Much love on this Valentine's Day.

Will We Ever Learn

Dear Nick & Alli-  Upon hearing about Whitney Houston's death, I immediately thought of Michael Jackson, then others closer to us (to remain nameless) who have experimented with drugs and gotten in trouble. It starts out so innocently and spirals out of control.   Such talented, beautiful people .......both the celebs and our friends.
       It's hard to understand why some people get caught up/addicted and others don't.  Especially when you know they are really good people inside.  I came across this quote by MJ.

I believe in wishes and in a person’s ability to make a wish come true. 

And a wish is more than a wish,
It’s something your conscious and subconscious can help to make a reality.                             Michael Jackson 

                             

He certainly obtained his dreams- and from this quote he seems to understand the laws of energy. But what good is it without inner tranquility and passion for life and an understanding of how to face our challenges. Had he taken his own advice, turned inward and to the universe instead of drugs..........

Just Sayin!    Luv ya.

Wise words

 

Dear Alli & Nick-  I am in awe and envy of you both because you instinctively understand this. You are living in a time where the youth see how the previous generation has suffered by chasing the dollar. Continue to follow your own path without guilt. You will be a success. Live in and enjoy the present as much as possible.   Luv you.
