THE JOURNEY

SECOND CHANCES

I saw this on the Internet and despite researching, was unable to find a credit for this quote. 

How many second chances do you give?  How many hurts do you ignore or let slide?

The more chances you give someone the less respect they'll start to have for you. They'll begin to ignore the standards that you've set because they'll know another chance will always be given. They're not afraid to lose you because they know no matter what you won't walk away. They get comfortable with depending on your forgiveness. Never let a person get comfortable disrespecting you. ‪#‎RehabTime‬ ‪#‎KMF‬

PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE

LOVE HURTS

Love didn't hurt you

Someone who didn't know how to love hurt you, and then you confused the two

Learn from the mistakes of your past

Heal from the pain;

Then love like you've never been hurt

Tony Gaskins

NO DESTINATION PLANNED

I  stopped telling myself that I'm lost.
I'm not.
I'm on a road with no destination, I'm just driving with hope that I'll find a place that I like and I'll stay there.
I'm not lost, I'm on my way.

~ Ahunnaya

AFTERNOON WALK ON THE BEACH

NOURISHMENT FOR THE MIND

Today's message from Neale Donald Walsh - reminder to take some time to feed your mind. Maybe watch some holiday movies to evoke the Christmas spirit, read a spiritual book or a magazine that stimulates your creativity.....

On this day of your life,

 I believe God wants you to know...      

...that the degree to which people have evolved
is instantly revealed through what
they call entertainment and 'fun'.

What do you call 'entertainment'?
What do you describe as being 'fun'? How do you
spend your free time? How do you spend your
entertainment dollars? How much television do you watch?
How many movies do you see? What kind
of programs and films do you spend time on?
How many books have you read this month?
How many concerts have you caught? How many ballets
have you seen? What kind of music do you listen to?

Does any of this matter? You might just as well ask
if it matters what kind of food you eat.
Nourishment for the mind is no different from
nourishment for the body. What you put in is
what you get back -- in triplicate.

Love,  Your Friend ...

LIVING THE DREAM

From Neale Donald Walsh - What God Wants You to Know Today

On this day of your life,

Cheri, I believe God wants you to know...      

...that vocations which we wanted to pursue, but didn't,
bleed, like colors, on the whole of our existence.

Honore De Balzac said that, and he was right.
Do not let one more day go by without honoring
the vocation your soul calls you to pursue.
And don't pretend you don't know what it is. Of course you do.
You can feel it in your stomach whenever you think about it;
whenever you see another person doing it.

Life is so very short. Do now what you yearn to do
in your life. You do not have to "quit your day job"
in order to do this. You may do so if you choose to,
but you do not have to. Many people advance
a vocation while holding down their "regular job."
You can, too. Then ease into your vocation
and turn it into your "regular job."
But you must give energy to your vocation
starting today. I mean, today.

Love,  Your Friend ...
