You Sure Can

We all have within us the power to do whatever it is that we want to do. 

 The challenge for most of us is figuring out what exactly that is.

Enlightenment

Enlightenment waits for you. Enlightenment needs no patience, for it recognizes that it is yours, and never without you. Enlightenment rests in the palm of forgiveness. Your deepest, darkest, most grave of enemies may find its outstretched hand. Only then will you remember enlightenment

  -Oliver Haughton 

Love in any language

Sandi Patti wrote a touching song "Love in Any Language" showing that so many people and cultures share one common feeling.

No matter what language YOU speak feeling and sharing love builds a persons spirit and hope

Je t'aime
Te amo
Ya ti-bya lyu blyu
Ani o hevet oth kha
I love you

The sounds are all as different
As the lands from which they came
And though our words are all unique
Our hearts are still the same

Love in any language
Straight from the heart
Pulls us all together
Never apart
And once we learn to speak it
All the world will hear
Love in any language
Fluently spoken here

We teach the young our differences
Yet look how we're the same
We love to laugh, to dream our dreams
We know the sting of pain

From Leningrad to Lexington
The farmer loves his land
And daddies all get misty-eyed
To give their daughter's hand

Oh maybe when we realize
Just how much there is to share
We'll find too much in common
To pretend it isn't there

The Best Way

The only way to have a friend is to be one

You Mean Everything

What you wear, drive or where you live means nothing to me! Your thoughts & actions however mean everything.

YOU

So many things to celebrate, today...let's start by celebrating you!

First I HAVE to apologize for not sending out my "every other" day affirming message.

Did you know that about me? I am a Gay man, a Christian person in addition to a blogger.
I say this to be authentic or honest with you and everyone

I do my best in all I do to share who I am and what I do. It's being honest or AUTHENTIC.

When I was Boy Scout I'd say with the others, "I am

Trustworthy,

Loyal,

Helpful,

and Reverent.

Each day I do MY BEST to live by that  law and be authentic in all I do whether it be at my employment or sharing here

You too can be authentic, be real, Be You
