The Year 2012

Labels: , , , ,



Made new friends.
Met inspiring people.
Reunited with family and friends I hold dear.
Fulfilled a dream.
Renewed and stronger love.
Accepted  who I am and found peace, that the shape, color, circumstance I am in is a blessing... nothing but a blessing in which I have in me to nurture, to share, and be proud of. Just like everyone else, I am reminded that I am a child of God, that I, too, can be a gift to others, as others are to me, that though there is darkness, there is always light, flickering, shimmering, and I can hold on to that light, as I follow others and as I lead, letting my little light shine, I will be braver and courageous to live a life that is true to my own being, no longer in a shadow, but a rainbow, filled with colors of my own choosing.


Acceptance.
Peace.
Light.
Joy.
Love.

That was 2012.
















Perseverance.
Positivity.
Fortitude.
Youthful Vigor.
Enthusiasm.
Abundance.

 
Here's to a glorious 2013!Let us welcome the new year with hope and grateful heart.

A mother, a peacemaker....

It takes great strength of mind and character to be a good mother. And to be a good mother it is helpful to have great faith so that we, the mothers of all the children, may handle our daily lives with grace and love. The best gift of motherhood to me is the gift of knowledge and the opportunity that I can spread love and peace through my children.


Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.


O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen
