Spark is to Blaze
~~~~~ If we will surround ourselves with beauty, music, art, words, focus, positive feelings, deeds, and what we may offer others. Tell our constant truth, our own. Truth which comes from within.

Each Morn
~~~~~ Rise like the lark into the morning; welcome day with joy and wonder. Smiles, laughter, your day adorning, take time, life’s miracles to ponder. Hope and feeling will play their part.

We Choose Only How
~~~~~ We all want it. We all want it all. We do. Do we? Or is that just a story we’ve been repeatedly told? Love, home, family, food, friends no longer hold Enough; fail to comprehend what enough may be New flashy car, a fancy man, a trophy wife to start All the latest apps […]
