"Out of the Pan..."

Out of the Cake Pan....

You know that old saying "Out of the box.." Well, when I saw this cake, all I could think of was "Out of the cake pan"

It had me in Awe...and Wonder...

I love those who push the limits in all that they do, they certainly are an inspiration...

This baker has encouraged me to think harder and more creatively...
Out of my box and now out of the cake pan...

How will you look at something differently today?

Teeth

I saw this post on FB and I couldn't help wondering about Teeth and their importance in our life...

We make our first impression with them
Eat with them
Talk through them
Send gestures with them

Some teeth effect people's confidence
While others build their confidence...
We are given two sets, a trial set to practice with, 20 in all... Then the permanent set which all 32 of them will take us to infinity and beyond...

Did you know ?
Teeth are the beginning process of our digestive system.
They are the hardest substance in our body.
And without teeth there would be no more eating chocolate...

So make sure you take care of your teeth and they will take good care of you...

"Teeth, they do your body good"

In Awe of the human body

The Greatest is Love....

"Love Never Fails"

1 Corinthians chapter 13
talks about Love ...

"Love is patient, love is kind... It always protects, always trust, always hopes, always preserves..."

Share your Love on this day called Valentines Day... Take an extra special moment today to love someone who may not know love, may not expect love and show them how sharing LOVE never fails....

Who will you be a Valentine to today?

In love awe and wonder ....

Spread the Love

Love vs Unforgiveness

"Don't plant anything but Love"
Rumi

Love is life
Unforgiveness is death

We have a choice to choose our life path...

I've experienced both and the only thing unforgiveness does is keeps you in a place of anger and darkness...

A forgiving person frees themselves up to experiences an incredible sense of Love "Spread the Love"

"Don't plant anything but Love"
Rumi
(Quote and picture compliments of a FB friends post...thank you Dianne)

What will you Plant today ?

Gods Giant Snow Globe

The Snow Globe

I lived in a snow globe one winter several years ago. The beauty of this past snowstorm reminded me of that particular winter.

It seemed like every time I looked out the window, and the snow was falling, it was as if God had shook up the earth sharing His love and I was in the comfort of His hands. As I witnessed that beautiful sight it was like living in the hands of Gods giant snow globe.

That year was another year of personal growth for me, a time of emotional
healing from personal pain. I was thankful for the beauty that surrounded me that winter as well as the beauty that surrounded me yesterday.

I experienced Gods giant snow globe once again...what a gift from above!

In awe of the beauty that surrounds me...

Have you lived in the comfort of Gods giant snow globe recently?

Monsters Under my Bed or Just in My Head?

Monsters Under the Bed
Or Just in Your head?

There's Monsters under my bed
So I thought in my head...
Today I know better
I live by the letter
Those monsters under my bed
I think took up residence in my head!
Following my passion
Is a dream come true
Sometimes I get stuck
Sometimes that makes me blue...
It's who I am,
What drives me a lot
That has gotten me into this hot spot...
A deadline to be had
Really isn't so bad
It's those monsters in my head
I wish they would go back under my bed!

Inspiration From Others

When Technology Works

I'm not a big fan of technology. Sometimes the stress doesn't seem quite worth the convenience. This morning I was inspired by several inspirational stories shared on Facebook....

Without this crazy world of technology I may never have gotten to see those stories and have been inspired... And for that I am extremely grateful.

Connors unconditional love for his brother Cayden is a true role model for all to see. When we wonder about children today and their future, Conner and his brother Cayden's story brings a sense of HOPE to this world...
Thank you Mr and Mrs Long for the beautiful children you are raising!

In total AWE this morning

One Word...

One Word

It only takes one word to change the meaning of a sentence. One word to make someone smile, one word to show appreciation and one word to change a life...

What you choose to say with one word can make the difference between being positive or negative, Encouraging or discouragement, happy or sad.

What one word will you say today that will change a life ? Even if its your own life...

Love Awe and Wonder

Do you see what I see?

Love from coast to coast

Precious to All, Healed With Gold...

The Beauty of Being Cracked....

The Japanese believe a cracked piece of pottery is made more beautiful when mended with gold. How very true...

"As humans, like pottery, when broken, if we can realize the beauty of our cracks and see the gold used to mend ourselves we are made that much more beautiful when healed."

We all have had a crack or two, over a
lifetime... Some have far more cracks, but just imagine the beauty of each individual as they are mended with gold...

Today, see the beauty of yourself healed in the most precious substance... You are a masterpiece created by the master completely healed by love seen in the form of precious gold ...

Live and let live
You are precious in the sight of those who love you unconditionally...
Broken or whole.

In awe of Love

Sometimes There's Love...

Sometimes M.L.F
There's Love and There's Love

Sometimes we can love everything. Sometimes not so much
Sometimes we fall in love
Sometimes to a simple touch.
Sometimes love is instant
Other times it moves slow
Either way when you fall in love
You will know which way to go...
Sometimes we find the love of our life
Sometimes that love causes strife
Sometimes we don't see the love ahead
Sometimes we make mistakes instead
An effortless love connection
is hard to find
Two giving to each other is more than kind
Sometimes we fall in love
Sometimes it's a blessing from above...
I have found few loves in my life
This love just seems so right!

A Woman and the Sunshine

A Woman and the Sunshine

Her warmth shines through
Her glow all around

Because of them...

Their ability to sustain life
An endless power from both
If allowed the right exposure...

Connected as Love Should Be...

Connected, as Love Should Be....

Are the moon and the stars connected?
A connection beyond understanding...
Individuals, yet one
up high
lighting up the sky
Connected from the start
As love should be...
Is the sun in the sky connected?
Life illuminated, sun rays
sunrise to sunset...
As love should be...
What is air connected to?
Something so powerful
You can’t live without
never seen, never felt....
Perhaps not understood...
Love…
its depth known only by two lovers

Something so strong and powerful,
life giving as the air we breathe…
The breath of life
the breath of love
All Gods perfect plan
given from above
Gods creation... Us
Gods intent ... Us
a connection beyond understanding
Individuals, yet one
Are the clouds and rain drops
connected?
One brings life to the other
without the clouds
there would be no rain...
Without a “you” there would be no “us”
The rain, the flowers, the grass,
the trees all connected...
One feeds the other...
One allows the other to flourish
to grow, to breathe and to live free...
As love should be...
Rain brings life in abundance...
A connection beyond understanding...
Individuals, yet one
Are the grass and the earth connected?
It's very life exists,
being fed from the ground ...
Soil, by itself is nothing...
Yet together
In combination with the connection from above
is everything!
As love should be…
Life so visible yet so invisible
Love invisible yet so visible.
The moon, the stars, the sky
the sun, the air, the clouds,
the rain, the grass, the flowers, the ground...
All connected...
Without one or the other life just wouldn't survive...
Beauty all around needs a connection to thrive...
As love should be...
The connection we have is sustained by the breath of life
The breath of love
the miracle of life’s wonder,
A connection beyond understanding...
Individuals, yet one...
As love should be…©

Note to "Self"

I Had a Conversation
with My "Self " Today...

My body keeps talking to me and frankly I don't want to listen....

It said to me this morning ...
"Self, listen to me, you better slow down and I mean it!" Oh course I told it to mind its own business and yes it talked back to me and said...
"Self, you are my business!!!"

Loving, the LOVE "mySELF" has for me...

What kind of love do you have for
"yourSelf"?

In Awe and wonder of loving ones Self....

There's No Place Like Home...

I'm Home....

Back home in my own house, my own bed. I met some awesome people at "Move People to Action" who all are following their dreams.

I look forward to sharing at "There's a Book Inside You, Now What?"
A seminar given by local Author Sharon Grace.

I am following my passion, something I hope to encourage others to do also.

What are your desires, passions, dreams?

What would it take for you to follow them?

And if you could do something today with no worries, what would you do?

Now, go out and live your life ...
You only have ONE to live.... Enjoy!

In awe of taking that first step...

Moving People to Action

"Move People To Action..."
Wendy Lipton-Dibner

I just spent 4 days at a wonderful speakers conference...
Called "Move People To Action..."
I love meeting and learning about others... As my personal journey continues through others, learning about them and myself, I continue to look forward to my future and the path I will follow...
One area I would love to share and speak on is...
"Life's journey and what we learn about ourselves through loving others..."
A very simple concept and an incredible place to live... A life filled with Love, Awe and Wonder...
Connecting, embracing, loving others truly teaches us incredible lessons about self love...

Who will you love today... And

If you had access to all the time and money in the world but first had to share some love with someone...
What would that look like to you?

Just wondering...

(Picture with Bob Doyle everyone knew who he was but me!!! A nice feeling, not being in Awe of his past but enjoying who he is in the present...)

Ability to Change Many Lives...

Changing a Life

Today I am in Stamford CT at a "Move People To Change" conference which starts today...
Last night my roommates and I went to PF Chang's for dinner...
And wouldn't you know it, my fortune said " I have the ability to touch many lives" perfect!!!

I believe we ALL have the ability to touch many lives..,

Who's life will you touch today ?

In awe of wonder ...

People

There is something so Precious about People. 
Loving them, Accepting them, Embracing them...

People truly are the lifeline to our souls.

What we are able to learn from others if we just open our hearts

is an incredible gift to receive...

We have a choice:

To Love and Accept others or To judge and criticize them

Choose wisely... You too are a part of the People Pool...

What will you choose today for the people around you?

 

 In Love and Awe of my precious daughter...

 

There's a Dream in You... It's Time to Live it!

Following Your Dream

What do you dream about?
I don't mean in your sleep either!
I mean truly see yourself doing?
Is there a yearning deep within your soul that is scramming to be released? Your hearts desire to do, to be, to want to try something you have always wanted to?

Today is the day to move one step forward towards your dream.
Make that call, connect with that person, google the information you need ...

Don't wait, it may be to late...

Living TODAY filled with
Love Awe &Wonder

A Time For Everything, Even 12 Hours in the ER...

A Time For Everything...
One of my favorite bible verses...
(Ecclesiastes 3:3-8)

3 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

It was my time to experience Nitrostat, a little pill placed under your tongue to help open your arteries from chest pain... Chest Pain I had been experiencing before Christmas. Why did I wait so long to address the pain? It was on the right side, which I assumed was the "wrong" side .... Thankfully no heart attack, perhaps just Stress, hopefully a successful stress test will prove that today...

The whole ER experience on Friday was certainly something to take in ...
Being the wonder that I am, I found myself in a more peaceful state of mind even in the ER... My doctor had the perfect bedside manor, very handsome and sounded just like Ricky Ricardo... I mentioned that to him and the next time he came into the room to check on me, he introduced himself as Dr.Ricardo...

Because the Nitrostat had worked and although it gave me a headache it did free up my chest pain...
Which made Dr Ricardo want to keep me over night ... But, for me overnight wasn't an option... So my new doctor friend released me with my own bottle of Nitrostat, a promise to stay low key and an appointment for a stress test... And off I went! ( ok, so I made it sound more pleasant than it was)
I will assume everything will be fine...
But I also know there is a
Time for Everything....

Living life filled with love awe and wonder...
Really wondering today...
In Awe and lots of Love ...

Lets Get Smart... And Stop the Garbage on TV

Dreaming and Reality

In my dream last night I waited for the mailman.... A car sat waiting too.
The gentleman waiting had an iPhone 5 in his hand showing the new size to me.

What amazes me is the subconscious. I'm not a TV watcher but last night I had it on ( mainly for American Ideal) I noticed a few iPhone 5 commercials ... I am sure that's where my dream came from.

My point...

All the garbage that is shown on TV has such a negative influence on society and our subconscious.

The reality shows with no values, the NCI like dramas with murders, even the evening news, all disturbing as far as I'm concerned.
Maybe You are not bothered or affected by what you watch, but witnessing what is happening in the world today, sadly others are...

So as society debates over gun control, maybe just maybe, we should rethink what we watch on Television.

I was a TV junkie up until four years ago and although I don't know everything that is going on in the world and I'm not perfect myself... I do know the saying
"garbage in, garbage out"
rings true for the human mind and for me. I'm thinking I can't be the only one affected by the garbage that is seen on TV!

In Awe of Change
In Wonder of When
