Heavenly Father
Please help me to remember that my words can either plant gardens or burn down forests and help me chose wisely, which one to do. Amen

No Obligation
You are under no obligation
To be the person you were
Five minutes ago
This is your life
The footprint you leave
On this world
Is yours to impart
The entire universe is impacted By the choices you make
Your belief can move mountains
Your thoughts
Create your experience
What will you create
What mountain will you move
How will you impact the universe
Do you like who you are
Yes, great
No, change yourself
Stop waiting for “when”
When is NOW
Grab hold of your thoughts
Grab hold of life
And
Wring the living daylights
Out of it

Lonely Intelligence
He said, “You are dangerously intelligent.”
I smiled and replied,
“Yes, and it makes for a lonely life.”

Bright
Shift your energy
Smile at yourself
Sing a happy song
Skip around the room
Pray for a friend
Think of God’s light
Filling your heart
Cleansing your thoughts
And before you know it
You will be feeling
Uplifted and bright

Love & Passion
Love

Some of my
Most elaborate forms
Of self-harm

Pearl Snap Heartache
I saw him standing there
Watching the dance floor
Propped against the bar
Sippin’ whiskey
Long legs, boots, and hat
Too many times I’ve fallen
For a man like that
Cool, and crisp, and lean
Hands rough and calloused
From workin’ cows or
Runnin’ a heavy machine
My heart has a weakness
For that look
It will fall in a minute
Regardless of the risk
But my mind knows better
Knows the pleasure
Is never worth the hurt
Tells my heart to be careful
He’s just another heartache
In a pearl snap shirt

Missing the Beachi
It’s been a while since I was able to stroll on the beach of southwest Florida. I would go for sunset walks and try to capture a picture of the sun as it kissed the Gulf of Mexico goodnight…..Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, I’m thankful for my work and wherever it chooses to take me….but sometimes I miss the beach….and I wonder if the beach misses me.

Wakeup & Workout
I set my alarm for 4:20am
Out the door by 4:30am
On my way to the gym
I just do it
Ignoring the excuses
My mind tries to present
Disengaging from
The internal argument
That more time in bed
Would be well spent
I wake up and work out
One day the results
Will be evident

May
May the transformation of Spring
Bring you what you long for
May your inner being bloom
As beautifully as the flowers
Growing wildly outside in nature
May your thoughts be fresh and crisp
Like the air after a Spring rain
May you find new meaning in life
More vibrancy
More energy
May you take that step
You need to take
To enjoy your life
In this month of May

Peek-a-boo
Some mornings the sunrise plays peek-a-boo with me.
The Lago Vista hills are the perfect play-ground for this game. Thursday morning on my drive to work the sun kept peeking out but didn’t let me fully see it until I reached my office door and was about to go in. At that moment I turned one last time and the sun revealed it’s full beauty as it crested the hill across the street. We had a glorious moment together and I basked in its wonder. Amazed again at how much the Creator of all things created all things to play and experience pure joy.
