"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

leaves of light~




Light gives of itself freely,
filling all available space.
 It does not seek anything in return;
 it asks not whether you are friend or foe.
It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished.
Michael Strassfeld


feb. 20

~i am moved by light~


when days have been so dark and gray
to have glimpses of light
warming you
 shining upon you
fills me so


to see that is not only me
but so many other living things
thriving
growing
flourishing
 from this light
a reminder
 i am never alone


in my thoughts
emotions
 my desire to welcome mr. sun


People are like stained-glass windows.
 They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in
 their true beauty is revealed
 only if there is light from within.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross


to see to the living
emerging beneath the deep dark days
remaining through the bitter cold
changing before our very eyes


a sign of what will be ever so soon
colors filling our days
replacing the baren


We are each gifted
in a unique and important way.
It is our privilege
 and our adventure
 to discover our own special light.
Mary Dunbar


with a bounty of colors
lushness
scents lingering
bringing forth a sense of the life we crave
during the last lingering days of winter


The windows of my soul
 I throw wide open to the sun.
John Greenleaf Whittier


yesterdays walk was nothing short of beauty
 and light surrounding us
i tried to soak up the gift that was upon us
and carry it home with me
 
 
~may this light be with you this coming week~

Sending you love and healing prayers.
