I will not bow down and be a slave to attachment.
I will not walk in the valley of fear.
I will not ransom my soul for a dollar not even a million could bring me near.
I will not bow down to mediocrity.
I will not drink from the cup of greed. I will not hustle the Holy Spirit.
I would not dare. I would not dare.
I do not seek for vain glory.
My place is with the humble and the free.
Truth is my light and my salvation.
Love is my key, it opens every door before I get there.
It is my destiny. I will not bow to any idols.
I will not bow in deceit.
I will not drink from the cup unforgiveness
I will take the road less traveled.
If it means I can BE free.

So much noise in the world.
To much noise
Turn it off.
Turn it down.
What MUST be heard comes from within.
Shhhhh
Be still.
Can you hear it?
Shhhh
The small whisper of love, hope, and renewal.
So many seek outside voices and noises
They are so overrated,
Extremely overrated.
Shhhh
Go within.
Listen deeply.
Your soul knows the truth and what is right for you.
shhhh
Listen…..

Glorious Beauty
It’s in our deepest vulnerability that our deepest glorious beauty lies.
When we are raw, naked and exposed
The Light that shines from deep within is revealed
If you are brave enough
Be gentle
Take off the mask’s
There is nothing to be afraid of
Be real
Be Free
Be You
The glorious, imperfect and yet perfect soul
YOU
Cracked, crazy, wanting, giving, sharing, craving
YOU
Be YOU
Yes!
What a Glorious Beauty……

The Honored Mother
Age makes little difference when a mother you are, And as you grow older, seems you’re more precious by far;
For your children all love you whatever they do;
You’re forever their mother though they’ve grandchildren too.
They may always live near you, far away roam,
But their thoughts turn often to Mother and home
Though long years have passed since they sat at your knee,
They will always be children in your memory.
You may sometimes be busy with a many a care
Or you may only sit in your favorite chair.
You may no longer have need of your old dusting cap,
And often your hands just rest in your lap.
You’ve given so much in this life you’ve been living,
And as years go by, you still keep on giving.
You give, as in sympathy you shed but a tear;
You give when you smile and call someone ” dear”
It may not seem much, but you help every day-
To chase away shadows that might darken the way;
You help as you sing when others feel blue;
You’ll always be helping by just being you.
So mothers, all mothers, we want each to know
Your children love you though they forget to say so;
And each of us here, as child young or old,
Knows that you’re loved, but you want to be told.
So now we would like to show in some little way
That we think of the oldest as special today;
And because you have lived more years than another, Today, Mom you are my honored Mother!
By Blanche Bliss Butler
10 things I learned from my mom:
1. Love yourself and love God with all your heart, soul and mind.
2.Laugh it off. Don’t take life to seriously. Laughter is the best medicine.
3. Live honest and be kind to everyone and love everyone.
4. As a women you do not need a man to complete you or make you happy in life ( only you can do that) One is a whole number.
5.Never let a man or anyone abuse you. If you have to leave a man do it when he is at work. lol she really told me this :)
6. You can do anything you put your mind to do. Believe in yourself.
7. Women are stronger then they think.
8. Pray and listen.
9. Don’t cuss, gossip, lie or think you are better then anyone else.
10. Forgive Often and Always.
My mom has been my biggest supporter in life. I love her dearly. We laugh all the time. I would not be the woman that I am today without my loving mother. She is my rock, my best friend and my biggest FAN and she loves me unconditional. She is wonderful example of what strong and courageous looks like. Thank you Mom for being my mother! xoxo Feel free to leave advice or comments what you learned from your mom in the comments section. As always we would love to hear from you.

Poem: “Walk Into The River “ By Marie Cornelio © 2012
In life you have to have tenacity and faith in yourself and in your Divine purpose. Your soul path, your truth, your dream, your hope and goals. No matter how weak, tried, defeated, sick, discouraged you may feel.
You are a Divine Magnificent, Incredible, Brilliant Masterpiece. Never forget it. Feelings of discouragement will pass. Allow yourself to heal and feel your way through it. Be kind and loving to yourself. Don’t make major decision when your feeling discouraged, angry or hurt. Give yourself time to heal.
This poem is for you if you been feeling a little discouraged during transitional times in your life. Just remember all things working for your highest good. Even when you don’t understand.
Don’t Give Up
When your backs against the wall
Don’t give up
When you feel you can’t move on
Don’t give up
When your would is caving in
Don’t give up
When your heart is crushed by all the weight of the pain or sickness
Don’t give up
Things will turn around be before you know
Don’t give up
Sweet joy will unfold if you
Don’t give up
Infinite love is watching over you
Don’t give up
Your dreams are closer then they seem
Don’t give up
God will lovingly see you through
Don’t give up
-Hold on tight and Don’t Give UP-
