Love doesn't just sit there like a stone: it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.--Ursula K. Le Guin
Everyone could use a new batch of love every day. Way too often, we forget to make a new batch. Then we end up eating hard, old, crumbly stuff that doesn't even taste good. We forget to talk with the people we love. We tell ourselves that they should "know" we love them, even if we haven't called to connect with them for a long time. So we expect them to live off hard, old, dry crumbs too!But baking a fresh hatch of love is a lot easier than baking bread. All we have to do is make a phone call, write a letter or an email, or stop by.

We need to "make" love every day in order to have love.

He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful.
Lao Tzu

We must gain power over own fears, addictions, insecurities, the things that hold us back from truly living to be truly content............. It can be done

Dreams

Dreams are but thoughts until their effects be tried.
William Shakespeare

Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
Pablo Picasso


That is a thought worth thinking about for me. How many days, do I delay, going to the bank, mopping the floor, cutting the lawn, changing the sheets,....... baking a cake, learning to tye die for the kids, complementing them on job well done, jumping on the trampoline with them. Because I am SO BUSY............
I'll die without a perfect lawn, home, ect.........
But I won't die, without spending time with my girls. Reality is life is very short and kids grow so quick. I am going to see what they are up to NOW........... Jenn

Every achiever that I have ever met says, "My life turned around when I began to believe in me."
Dr. Robert Schuller

For so long after my husband left and I started on my own, I thought that I had done something wrong. I had failed as a wife. It started with forgiveness. First of myself for where I may have fell short. But then I had to forgive him for where he fell short. With prayer and thought, I did best. My ex husband is now my friend. I began to see my talents, my loving nature, my skills as a mother, and friend. I began to believe in me. I don't have it all together, but I am on my way. I see my "babies" thriving, I see myself making friends and feeling happy. I came to believe I was worth something.........
