what can you build?
No stream rises higher than its source. What ever man might build could never express or reflect more than he was. He could record neither more nor less than he had learned of life when the buildings were built.
– Frank Lloyd Wright
your own particular fire
Something immense within,
a seed bursting its case,
a mother with child,
the only passenger
in the little boat
of your life,
a whole world’s worth
of divine love
pent up in you,
vast, given, swelling
with heat and beauty,
your own particular fire—
let it out
or it will sear you!
Let it out

Keep asking yourself…
You must constantly ask yourself these questions:
Who am I around?
What are they doing to me?
What have they got me reading?
What have they got me saying?
Where do they have me going?
What do they have me thinking?
And most important, what do they have me becoming?
Then ask yourself the big question:
Is that okay?”
– Jim Rohn
it’s my birthday!!! ❤
I got this from The Universe today, via Mike Dooley at Thoughts from the Universe. I want you to insert your own name as you read below, cause this is true for each of us! Sign up to receive a daily thought and next birthday this will come to you when you wake up!! ❤
Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu,
Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu,
Happy Birrrrthday Dear Amy,
Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu!
A few years back, not so long ago, heaven and earth erupted into a major celebration with the news of your impending adventure into this very time and space. You see, someone like Amy Lloyd doesn’t come along all that often. In fact, there’s never been a single one like you, nor is there ever ANY possibility that another will come again. You’re an Angel among us. Someone, whose eyes see what no others will EVER see, whose ears hear what no others will EVER hear, and whose perspective and feelings will NEVER, ever be duplicated. Without YOU, the Universe, and ALL THAT IS, would be sadly less than it is.
Quite simply:
You’re the kind of person, Amy,
Who’s hard to forget,
A one-in-a-million
To the people you’ve met.
Your friends are as varied
As the places you go,
And they all want to tell you
In case you don’t know:
That you make a big difference
In the lives that you touch,
By taking so little
And giving so much!
Amy, you are so AWESOME! For your birthday, friends and angels from every corner of the Universe, including buddies you didn’t know you had, will be with you to wish you the HAPPIEST of days and an exciting new year in time and space. You won’t be alone!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Amy!

PS – Amy, this is going to be YOUR year!!

happy Mothers Day
I am your mother child you are never without me
You are a part of me and I of you
Carried in my body our spirits were attached forever
Remember that what God created no man can separate
I am your mother child you are never without me, never alone
Close your eyes and you will feel me
Always and forever with you

I am not here to change the world. I am changing the world because I am here. -Lisa Wilson
When we hold firm our cups of life, fully acknowledging their sorrows and joys, we will also be able to lift our cups in human solidarity. Lifting our cups means that we are not ashamed of what we are living, and this gesture encourages others to befriend their truths as we are trying to befriend ours. By lifting up our cups and saying to each other, “To life” or “To your health,” we proclaim that we are willing to look truthfully at our lives together. Thus, we can become a community of people encouraging one another to fully drink the cups that have been given to us in the conviction that they will lead us to true fulfillment.

doing well
Looking good
without being good
Brennan Manning
talks of temptation
oh yes, I know this one
intimately
the lust of the flesh
the lust of the eyes
the pride of life
all three in this one.
It’s the work of our lives
all of us.
Brene Brown found it out
and shares it profoundly,
the importance
of breaking through
that wall
beginning brave
daring greatly
living vulnerability
and in so doing
we find our way
to living
in the arena
doing the work
we were created to do
one cracked vessel at a time
watering the flowers
along our side of the path
all the way home
such a beautiful sight to see
