Because I Believe ...........

(Disclaimer: This post will be updated weekly and sometimes daily because it just feels so good to do so, scroll down for the latest entries ......) 

 This is a post that's been sitting in the back of my brain for a couple of days.....

It's just a simple idea about what I believe and I want to update it as much as I can, just add to it as I go, as I live and I hope others will come here and share their lives as well.....

I would really like to know what you believe or as Oprah says, "What do you know for sure?"

As we get older, we still continue to grow and to refine....We change and hopefully we live a life that helps us to become more of ourselves.

Do you feel more comfortable in your skin? I know that since I've been spending time, quieting my mind and meditating, I am and I feel more relaxed. I'm calmer and life is just becoming one of more and more ease......ahhhhhhhhh!

I meditate because I believe that it helps me to live a life of beauty, abundance and one that is full of ease and joy! 10/17/17

beautiful  Autumn day in October in the MidWest!

10/19: Because I believe......

that  I can choose to feel love and joy every single day. I can open my mind and feel the love of my creator just by gazing into nature....

10/20 Because I believe......

We can experience joy each and everyday, no matter what is going on....


Beautiful Trees captured in October 2017. Welcome to Fall!

10/22/2017: Because I believe in the power of free will and we always have the power to choose.



We can either live as if life is heaven or hell! It seems to me that one choice is positively and unequivocally better than the other!


Walking along and I see these beauties on October 21, 2017!


10/23: Because I believe that we all can live in a happy place!


Sandpiper Cranes near my house in what appears to be one of their "happy places."


A little something extra today..........so good, watch video below:



10/27/2017: Ahhhhhhhh........


Because I believe that life is suppose to be fun and lived with ease. Somewhere along the line, this whole adventure becomes convoluted. If only, we'd look more to nature, to little kids or to the voice within..........


11/04/17:
Because I believe that earning online can be easy and fun!

There are many ways to earn online and I prefer to make it easily and with as much fun as I can! If you like to browse or surf the net, you might as well make money while you do it......



Remember that abundance is all around us!

Because I Believe that WE are lacking nothing, that there is nothing that we need. We are complete, whole and infinite beings of LIGHT!

All things are possible! Will you believe?

You are the Center of the Universe! Just Believe!

We Must Risk Delight!

A Brief For The Defense 
by Jack Gilbert


Sorrow everywhere. Slaughter everywhere. If babies
are not starving someplace, they are starving
somewhere else. With flies in their nostrils.

But we enjoy our lives because that's what God wants.

Otherwise the mornings before summer dawn would not
be made so fine. The Bengal tiger would not
be fashioned so miraculously well. The poor women
at the fountain are laughing together between
the suffering they have known and the awfulness
in their future, smiling and laughing while somebody
in the village is very sick. There is laughter
every day in the terrible streets of Calcutta,
and the women laugh in the cages of Bombay.
If we deny our happiness, resist our satisfaction,
we lessen the importance of their deprivation.
We must risk delight. We can do without pleasure,
but not delight. Not enjoyment. We must have
the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless
furnace of this world. To make injustice the only
measure of our attention is to praise the Devil.
If the locomotive of the Lord runs us down,
we should give thanks that the end had magnitude.
We must admit there will be music despite everything.

We stand at the prow again of a small ship
anchored late at night in the tiny port
looking over to the sleeping island: the waterfront
is three shuttered cafés and one naked light burning.
To hear the faint sound of oars in the silence as a rowboat
comes slowly out and then goes back is truly worth
all the years of sorrow that are to come.
