consider the possibilities, then think of the options ,regroup, take a breath, use all of your courage and charge forward, "the road not taken", it could be your second chance at what you were always meant to be. 11/24-5

Superstition: a credulous belief or notion, not based on reason, knowledge, so does todays date make you nervous? or does it give you the freedom to do all things on your list because you believe in Murphy's law:) 11/13/=7

use your words wisely

words are good,
words are bad
words should be used with caution
so please be kind, and take your time to say what you really think, but think before you say it

why are we sinners

why are we sinners?
sometimes we act like we are very holy, and make someone feel less than us, so who is really holy then,


my God wants me to Love unconditionally, let it begin with me today

the quiet of my soul

the quiet of my soul is the place where I allow myself to be when all others have gone to rest,
the greatness of my soul is the place where I go when the emptiness of the world is present
the vastness of my soul is where I go to replenish the Grace he allows me to receive daily

what is the word

babble, babble, babble babble, babble, babble, babble, still today this amazing story is repeated daily, stop the madness and just listen, words are weapons which we should reserve for love :)




religion is not just a word, it's the action you take in life to love one another, improve the situation and the most important thing you must always remember,love one another

why do we listen to the world?

sometimes we listen to the world and stop listening to our inner voice? that small voice which nags us is the voice of reason so stop before you do anything else and listen to the voice of reason and live a joyful life:)

lo que paso fue

what what happen was, everybody had a good time and we all laughed , and that was that

our reason for our day

enjoy the day and remember you are not that busy
for the true things that matter:

a new blessing/ vincent is here

God believes in humanity he sends us a new generation to love:) amen

be a hero today:)

Cowards run when their actions and words come back to them, but heroes stand firm on their actions and The Word☺

make a difference :)

Every little thing

Every little thing you do makes a difference. Each action, each word you speak, each thought you think will in some way change things for you and your world.
As you move through life, you are constantly leaving consequences in your wake. The nature of those consequences is what makes up the quality of your life.

Even the smallest things make a difference. And those small things can quickly add up to a big influence.

Your attitude and your outlook on life truly matter. They have a powerful influence over what kind of difference you are making, in the big decisions and the small ones too.

See the world as a beautiful place, filled with positive possibilities. And your actions, your thoughts, your consequences will take on the color of that positive perspective.

Everything, every moment, every person, every stirring in your heart matters. Let yourself love and value life, and be overjoyed at the positive difference that each of your moments can make.

-- Ralph Marston

que pasa?

is culture a learned behavior? have we shared with our children? in 25 years what traditions will our children be sharing with the next generation.

what am I thinking?

have you ever have a thinkless day?
I want one day to be thinkless, maybe tomorrow

when do you find yourself?

I am not sure when you find yourself, but I am so ready to find me, I have followed for so long that I am ready to lead me to the next phase of my life, the clouds are parting and the sun is shining I can almost see it

what am I thinking?

do you ever feel like asking yourself, what am I thinking? some days you are caught between go and stop, pass and go and future and pass, you then have to take the road that looks the best, will you question that choice later,

smilemaker's on the way

Beyond what is comfortable

Progress is made by doing what you have not done before. To truly grow stronger, you must step beyond what is comfortable and familiar.
Just outside your door is a whole wonderful world of new possibilities. And with those new possibilities come new and difficult challenges.

Go ahead, and have the courage to open that door and to step outside your comfort zone. For though the challenges are many, the rewards are more valuable than you can imagine.

You are designed and equipped and intended for great things. You are flexible and adaptable and creative and intelligent enough to successfully handle whatever you encounter.

Beyond the comfort of what you already know, you'll find the wonder and magnificence of all you can become. Go explore and fulfill the very best possibilities.

This is the right moment. All you need to get started is what you already have.

smilemaker thought of the day

kindness does not have a price, but it is priceless. if you have seen kindness make sure you give it back

I'm back to smilemaker

Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama


I started to think about a place far far away that I would like to be and what came to mind was home:)
I have been away for 13 days now and am ready to return, tdy almost done, thank God

the way is almost clear

The ideas that have lighted my way have been kindness, beauty and truth Albert Einstein

keep praying today:)

Possibility of success

You can make your life a triumph in spite of every adversity. Or you could make your life a mess in spite of every advantage.
Success does not depend on where you start. If it did, no one would have ever been successful.

Success comes from what you choose to do with whatever you have. It is fully available to anyone who decides to make the effort and the commitment.

Whatever the day holds, it also holds the possibility of success and achievement. Whatever the situation may be, there is a way to create real value from it.

Choose to see the positive possibilities, and you will. Choose to follow those possibilities, and success takes root.

The opportunity for success is always yours, and so is the responsibility. Decide to do what it takes, and create the success that is your own special destiny.

-- Ralph Marston

I saw a miracle today:)

I watched baby number two today playing in his mommy's belly, it is a true miracle

He is so busy already:)
Babies are Blessings

Babies are blessings sent from heaven above to fill our lives with their sweet love.

Babies are gifts so tiny and small they leave little handprints all over the walls, but look at these handprints as a sign of love that God has sent us from above.

do you know what you want?

What is it you wish to have? And, just as importantly, why?
When you're clear about what you'll do with whatever you seek to acquire, you'll find a way to have it. Strong purpose brings forth its own power of fulfillment.

If you have no idea how you'll make use of something, you're not very likely to ever get it. Yet when the utility of what you desire is tightly intertwined with your authentic purpose, it will soon be yours.

To have for the sake of having is not realistic or sustainable, nor is it really very satisfying. To have for the sake of doing and creating and giving and building, brings into play an undeniable attractive power.

The road exists because it has a destination. Your life attracts whatever facilitates your true purpose.

Know clearly what you'll do with it. And it will be yours.

-- Ralph Marston

take a quiz today

Gail completed the quiz "WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE?" with the result You are an Angel in Human form..
“Just your presence is a blessing to those around you, your positive attitude is implacable and radiates change for the better in everything you do and to those around you but everything in its time thus although you may not immediately be aware of your gift everything you do, have done and are about to do is destined to enrich you in a multitude of ways. You have been put on this earth to make a difference use your gift wisely.”.

read this and do it:) peace is yours

If you always wish for more, you will never know the peace and satisfaction of having enough. Realizing that you already have enough is one of the most profoundly empowering thoughts you can think.
Fully enjoying the first piece of cake does not prevent you from having a second. Yet obsessing over whether or not you'll get another piece will always prevent you from enjoying what you have.

It's great to be ambitious and to create new value. Yet that is best done from the position of power that comes with having enough.

Being satisfied does not mean you must be complacent. Being satisfied enables you to draw strength from your desires instead of letting them enslave you.

Discipline, integrity, commitment and effectiveness flow naturally from a strong sense of having enough. When you're truly accepting of where you are, your eyes are fully open to the best possibilities.

Understand that you already have enough. And you'll tap into the power of peaceful purpose.

-- Ralph Marston
