Any attempt is a win because you showed up and tried to do better; you tried something new this year.
Attitude of Gratitude
Even through tough times, there are moments of joy and thankfulness if you’re open to seeing them.
Mercy
We are all immigrants, sans the indigenous people of the Americas—a shameful part of our history.
Faith
The age old struggle of which side is right and which is wrong; this is a personal choice.
Beauty
Perfect doesn’t exist, and it’s boring.
Change
There is good change and bad change—the key is understanding and recognizing the difference.
There Is No Light Without Darkness
“In the midst of darkness, light persists.” Mahatma Gandhi, Speech (1947)
Home
Home is family and my farm. Both offer peace, comfort, and joy. It is a refuge; it’s where I seek sanctuary during difficult times and celebrate victories.
Strength
It’s okay to want to be strong for yourself. This body we have (all parts of it) needs to be maintained, tuned. However, are you gaining strength simply to be strong or are you helping others?
A Grateful Heart
So, for me, a grateful heart is one overflowing with thanksgiving to my Creator.
