Don’t give up on life, embrace it

We are all in this together. This thing called life is a finite journey. None of us will be around for ever, physical death will claim us all.

This isn’t a reason to be glum, however, it’s a reason to live to our fullest potential.
And what is “potential”? It’s the day to day joys we feel when we have accomplished even the smallest things.

Picking up your child, hugging your mom or dad, observing that pretty little bird singing from the rooftop.
When we realize we are in this together, we can start relying on each other for support; sharing in the ups and yes, the downs.

Hang in there and pay attention to those things that make up your potential happiness.

It's Okay to be Different; Being Different should be Celebrated

The world wants us all to be the same, but God didn't make us that way.  Celebrate the fact that you are different.

You may be having problems now, but you can get past them.


It is okay to be different. People have problems with things they don’t understand, and since you are different, they have a problem.


The problem isn’t you, the problem is theirs.


I’m not saying your life isn’t difficult, I’m saying you can accept that you are different and you can decide to not care about what they say or do.


You can give yourself permission to love yourself even when the world seems to fall all around you. You are worthy of life.


Live. Live for you


I want to live


I’m just a turtle
Hiding from everything
Words are Bee stings
My spirit pleads for peace.


They sting me daily
Spirit crushing screams for peace
Unheard; I wish I was a bird
I’d fly far away.


That’s my yesterday
Grey clouds dominated
But slowly separated.
I learned about me
And what I could be
This is what set me free.
