What is life about!

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

When I woke up this morning, I asked myself, “What is life about?”

I found the answer in my room…the fan said, “Be cool.”

The roof said, “Aim high.”

The window said, “See the world!”

The clock said, “Every minute is precious”.

“The mirror said, “Reflect before you act”.

“The calendar said, “Be up to date.”

The door said, “Push hard for your goals.”

The floor said, “Kneel down and pray”…

With out the nots, you’re TOPS!

Friday, September 10th, 2010

Dear God:

Please untie the knots

that are in my mind,

my heart and my life.

Remove the have nots,

The can nots and the do nots

That I have in my mind.

Erase the will nots,

may nots,

might nots that may find

A home in my heart.

Release me from the could nots,

would nots and

should nots that obstruct my life.

And most of all,

Dear God,

I ask that you remove from my mind,

My heart and my life all of the  ‘am nots’

That I have allowed to hold me back,

Especially the thought

That I am not good enough.

Amen

Great Opportunities, disquised as impossible situations

In March 2009, on a flight from Tampa to Houston, I sat next to this amazing woman, Maureen Dunkel.   During flight, she shared bits and pieces of her life with me as I did with her.  Little did I know how much of an impression she would leave with me until I returned home and read more about her and her works on the internet.

Recently she was interviewed by Chicke Fitzgerald.    Listen to the interview here: My Decade with Diana

Breakfast at McDonald’s

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

I recently received this story in my email.  I don’t know the writer, but found it very inspiring.

This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end!

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree.  The last class I had to take was Sociology.   The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with.   Her last project of the term was called, ‘Smile.’   The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.   I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake,

Literally..
Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald’s one crisp March morning.   It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.   We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then   Even my husband did.   I did not move an inch. An overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved.   As I turned around I smelled a horrible ‘dirty body’ smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.   As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was smiling’.  His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God’s Light as he searched for acceptance.   He said, ‘Good day’ as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.   The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation..  I held my tears as I stood there with them.   The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.   He said, ‘Coffee is all Miss’ because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).   Then I really felt it – the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.  That is when I noticed all eyes in the  Restaurant were set on me, judging   My every action.I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray..   I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s cold hand.   He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, ‘Thank you.’   I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, ‘I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope.’   I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son.

When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, ‘That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope.’   We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.   We are not church goers, but we are believers.   That day showed me the pure Light of God’s sweet love.

I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand.   I turned in ‘my project’ and the instructor read it.   Then she looked up at me and said, ‘Can I share this?’   I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.   She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed.  In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald’s, my son,the instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.   I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:

UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.

Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to
LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS –  NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.

Unconditional Acceptance  should be the attitude in your office every day, all day.  You are the “only”  hope in many peoples lives.

2010 – The Year of The Tiger

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

The Chinese use the lunar calendar for celebratory events which includes the New Year. This falls somewhere between late January and early February. The cycle of twelve animal signs originates from Chinese tradition as a way of naming the years. The animals follow one another in an established order and are replicated every twelve years. The rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig are the twelve animal signs. Every animal has particular characteristics and people born in a specific year are believed to take on these characteristics. According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2010 is the Year of the Tiger, which commences on February 14, 2010 and ends on February 2, 2011.
