I just wanna say Thanks...



If you want to do something you have never done before,
you have to do something you have never done before.
If you want to go somewhere you have never gone before,
you have to go somewhere you have never gone before.

You cannot do something new by doing old things. If
you want your life to change, you have to change your
life. So go ahead. It's safe. And it's also...about time.
Neale Donald Walsh

Thanks for friends and family who care and support me no matter what
Thanks for the people who read this blog, for those who make comments and share their lessons as well
Thanks for my health
Thanks for my body vehicle which houses my soul and works with me even though sometimes I put a lot of junk in it!
Thanks for all the opportunities that have passed through my hands in the last few months and the people who work with me despite my own limitations and sometimes my own fear
Thanks for sunshine and rain and full moons and water and stars and green grass and trees
Thanks for my granma's cooking and kitchen table chats
Thanks for my friend who cuts up my watermelon almost every morning and puts it in a bowl for me
Thanks for my mother pushing books in people's faces declaring " did you know my daughter wrote a book, please buy one?"
Thanks for the lessons, the challenges, that make me stronger and grow in courage and character
Thanks for God's unending grace every single hour and every single day!
Its a pretty awesome feeling!
What are you grateful for?

What Does Support Look Like to You?

  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
