Enjoy every minute of YOU.
What concerns me is that there is an apparent philosophy that by just being in this country, we're going to have access to an infrastructure to have a legitimate opportunity to be successful.
I can appreciate that.
Yet, too many of our communities, in this country, don't have that resource.
There was a time, not long ago, when it was about creating an experience, within a combination of education & creativity.
We didn't always have the support needed to be great, yet the people loved their experience.
I've had a deluge of that support, over the last 15 - 20 years.
They seem to believe that when you're following their agenda, you're going to be successful.
It doesn't work that way.
But never let uncertainty ruin the present.

LOVE
Time will take care of everything.
I'm very comfortable & confident in Love's ability.
It's always good to put in the practice & implement love into all situations.
It's about execution.
It's a simple word, but it's a very tough task to do.
I have learned to consistently be extremely prepared to not expect anything, & continue to give everything.
I've been criticized, yet I understand that comes with & from love, though.
That comes with being love.
Love is easily criticized.
And that I take in stride.
I have to.
That's part of being love.
I AM.
LOVE.

The Invitation
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for,
And if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love,
For your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow,
If you have been opened by life's betrayals or
Have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain!
I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own;
If you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you
To the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful,
Be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn't interest me if the story you're telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself,
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.
I want to know if you can see beauty
Even when it is not pretty every day,
And if you can source your life from God's presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine,
And still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes!"
It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have,
I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair,
Weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done for the children.
It doesn't interest me who you are, how you came here,
I want to know if you will stand in the center of the Fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away,
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself, And if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

Reactions are not tolerance.
How easy it can be for me to react.
To speak in an unloving manner.
Yet I find my self, unmoved.
Knowing what is the truth without having to look for it.
But then to see it, I remained unmoved.
I'm not an option.
My heart can't be broken, due to my self love's adaptability.
Happiness is not detoured based in lack of direction.
I won't allow negativity in my life.
My tolerance is to not react.
I can't give into something I'm not interested in.
Thus, I'm happy, regardless of the circumstance.
