The Firefly Who Wanted To Be A Star

Once there was a tiny
firefly who wanted to
glow upon this world.
A task impossible for
one lonesome bulb.

Every night she shined
so bright yet she never
became a star. Until all
her little friends joined in
 to illuminate the dark.

One firefly alone could
never change a world,
but thousands working
together can create a
universe here on Earth.

My wife found this image in Google and asked me to write a poem about the Firefly who wanted to be a star.

Angel Card Reading for Wednesday: Ideas And Inspiration

Pay attention to new thoughts and ideas that come to you. They are seeds of magnificent co-creations with God.

God speaks to you through your thoughts, and this card shows that the angels want you to notice and follow the ideas you have recently received. These thoughts are answers to your prayers for guidance, so please don’t discount them as mere imagination.

By drawing this card, the angels seek to give you confidence that you are just as capable of receiving wonderful ideas as any other child of God. That is because all wonderful ideas originate from the one Divine mind of God.

Since God is omnipresent, meaning everywhere, God is within you. So, God’s mind continuously expresses new thoughts and ideas right inside your mind!

When my friends and I on the #CNC16 trip visited Cedar Point a few weeks ago, we got up bright and early to experience the Sunrise Thrills VIP Tour.  Not only did we get to see the park from the top of Valravn, we also got incredible coaster-nerd access to Top Thrill Dragster, Millennium Force and Maverick.

IMG_7686If you are at all interested in a bird’s eye view of an amazing park, or just want to geek out on some incredible roller coasters, this tour is for you.  However, this post is not about the tour specifically.

It’s about sweat.

Our tour guides were two Guest Services associates who were also roommates.  One was a front line associate (Steve), the other was a Supervisor (Jeff).  We learned that after the tour concluded, Jeff was going to be working at the Iron Dragon roller coaster…

Who decides whether you shall be happy or unhappy? The answer: You do! Five out of four people live a unhappy life.Well, it’s easy just to make up your mind that you’re unhappy.Just choose unhappiness.Go around telling yourself that life is not going well.It’s satisfactory and you are quiet sure to be unhappy.If you would think like this then you will never heal.
Tell yourself over and over again that Life is going well, there are no worries and
I choose happiness.

Happiness is found in little things.Like the smoke coming out of the chimney,Velvet sky, the moon in the clouds, the stars sparkling, street lights on the river,looking into deep clear water, moving of moon and the clouds as you are driving car, the smell of the rain, sunset, sunrise and the list goes on and on.There is something exquisite in the essence of this…

Mind,a really difficult thing to handle.Thousands of thoughts are going on a persons mind and there is no way out.The essence of secret lies in a change of mental attitude.One must learn to live on a positive thought basis,even if it requires effort.The life of inner peace, being harmonious and without stress is the easiest type of existence.
There are many ways to attain peace:

1.Communications is really important in our daily life.It matters what we listen in our surroundings because what we listen we think about it and it makes us nervous and stressed.Fill your personal group conversations with positive, elated, optimistic satisfying expressions.

2.The words we speak,read or listen have a direct and definite effect upon our thoughts.Practice the technique of suggestive dictional, that is, repeat audibly some peaceful words.Words have profound suggestive power, and there is a healing in the very…

Published!! A moment of Grace

365 Moments of Grace…

Aria Bella's avatarAria-Bella Rises

Flower background Flower background,

What does Grace mean to me? It means being connected to our higher self and to Source and the miracles that unfold from that. It is being blessed beyond belief in even the most simple little things.

From an early age I always knew I would write books, back then and even till recently that thought terrified me – how could I write a whole book?? The reason I got into blogging was a way to share my musings, without needing to conform to a book… the other option is in a book collaboration.

When I stumbled across the 365 family, and that really is the best description for them as you do become a beautiful member of a fabulous family feeling community – my soul leapt and without me even thinking twice about it, I had grabbed a page for their new book 365 Moments of Grace…

Cherished.

HEALTH | INSPIRATION's avatarHEALTH | INSPIRATION

Fervid waters of a love unborn
stir shadows in a twilight dance.
Cheek flushed beneath a nectared kiss,
heart ravished with singular glance.

Repose her upon the horizon pure
over blooms of lavender sheen
to be searched beneath an open sky
as she descends into oblivion serene.

Angel.

HEALTH | INSPIRATION's avatarHEALTH | INSPIRATION

Cursed by thirst unquenchable
beneath a blazing sky,
Gaze distorted by burning mist
that wells within her eyes.

A soul that weeps before mankind,
for truths they’ve never seen–
of jaded hearts, of bleeding flesh,
of wounds that lie between.

An angel to the suffering,
a guardian to the soul,
a seraph who has fallen,
sunk within beguiling shoal.

Who will deliver this fragile one
whose eyes, too worn to cry?
To lift her up on mended wings
into the blazing sky?

#Read about Guest #Author Ritu Bhathal…

Chris The Story Reading Ape's avatarChris The Story Reading Ape's Blog

Hello there!

Allow me to introduce myself.

Ritu Bhathal
My name is Ritu Bhathal, a 40 (soon to be 40-something!) year old woman, living in the heart of Kent, UK.

By day, I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, daughter-in-law, and a teacher.

By night, I am exhausted!

No, seriously, I am a blogger, and writer.

After I have sorted all the general household kerfuffle out, kids fed and watered, washed and packed into bed, hubby and myself also fed, laundry done, lunches made for the next day, and any outstanding schoolwork done, then I manage to sit down with my iPad/Surface or on my computer, to either write a blog post, or peruse my followed blogs, or generally write.

Yes, that means I seem to burn the candle at both ends, as I rarely sleep before midnight, and in term time, I am up at 6 then have to be alert…
