Three quick phrases - CPR for our faith



Many of you have been writing that deep inside you believe you'll have to pay for everything you get ... That every wish come true costs something. That it's even better to settle for less hoping the payment will be reduced... I have to tell you that no one actually expects you to pay. Believe it or not. And don't mistake other people's choices in their own lives with a payment imposed on you! If you got your dream job while your uncle broke his leg, take into consideration the fact that he has made his own choices which led to the broken leg. When deep in your mind such wrong beliefs flourish, chances are they will attract precisely that - a chain of problems which then your mind will label "payment" and you'll be convinced it reached you, and from then on you'll enter the circle again. It's going to take much more than a blog post to go over all this, so I decided to just share with you three quick phrases which I consider a CPR for our faith in the generosity of all that surrounds us.

"For the good of all and the harm of none" - the universal spell of the witches. ;) Whatever happens is for the good of all and everyone will benefit, one way or another.

"Today a lovely miracle will happen to me" - start your day with the belief that at least one lovely miracle will happen to you and because it's a miracle, it's free. Miracles are not bananas and they have no price tags.

"Fate!" - each time a wish of yours come true, each time you achieve a dream, say it: "Fate!" Against fate even the most suspicious mind will not dare to fight. Your fate is to be lucky, what can you do about it? Fate! :)

After a while – Veronica A. Shoffstall


After a while you learn
the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul


and you learn
that love doesn’t mean leaning
and company doesn’t always mean security.


And you begin to learn
that kisses aren’t contracts
and presents aren’t promises


and you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes ahead
with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child


and you learn
to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow’s ground is
too uncertain for plans


and futures have a way of falling down
in mid-flight.


After a while you learn
that even sunshine burns
if you get too much


so you plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone
to bring you flowers.



And you learn that you really can endure
you really are strong
you really do have worth

and you learn
and you learn
with every goodbye, you learn…

Love Day



Happy St. Valentine! Celebrate love today. And say it, say it! Finally, say it! Share a hug, a kiss, a confession, affection and tenderness. :) Don't hide from love and don't be afraid to love because no matter how much we hide, chances are we'll still get hurt sometime but if we never risk, we'll never win, while losing will remain part of the game. Life is about loosing your belt and taking a ride in the dark. About closing your eyes and taking a leap of faith. There is nothing worse than the things we missed. Open your heart, make someone feel truly special today and let them decide after that. Make a gift. The most precious gift of all is love, so let your love shine throughout the world. :)

Ah, and don't forget all the girsl/boys you loved before! :)))))) No matter what happened, they were part of your life and most probably were there for a reason.
