The sweet bliss my mind daily feels
The way my heart is made to sway
The times my face is made to smile
Each moment takes my breath away

The many minutes we spend together
Which our spirits share each day
Strengthens the love within my heart
Bringing many delightful times to stay

Please cradle me softly in Your hands
Take the deep pain in my bones away
Remind me no matter what happens in life
I will share Your tender embrace always

Lord, to me You are my eternal treasure
Whose hands have lovingly created me
Fashioning me in Your spirits image
So when I pray each day Your love I see.

Psalm 135:3
Praise the LORD, for the LORD, is good;
Sing praises to His name, for it is
lovely.

Yet I am always with you; you hold me
by my right hand. You guide…

     

 ( Today’s post comes from my June Newsletter. )

  Most of us have seen that ancient quote by Lao-Tzu,

  “A  journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step.”

     It’s a good motivator to get us started. But what about when you’ve been taking those steps for a while, and the journey of a thousand miles feels like two-thousand? Lately, I’ve felt that way about my book.

     Don’t get me wrong! I love my book. I believe in my book. But it feels like high time for my baby to leave the nest and fly out into the world. Yet, I keep getting these opportunities to trust the timing. Thanks, God.

     I know my past six years of book writing is a drop in the bucket compared to some journeys, and I’m glad I got to learn so…

I’m posting this from the mountains of North Carolina just after midnight. Yesterday was cold and misty, so my friend and I stayed in most of the day and enjoyed a fire. Right now, the temperature is in the upper 20s and a little snow has fallen. Since I’m on vacation and will be seeing my grand daughter this weekend, I’m trying to rest up as much as I can. So instead of a regular post, I’m sharing my October Newsletter below.

Will check back in later. 🙂

October Newsletter

I’ve been wondering about fall leaves. How can something that appears to be dying be so beautiful? Maybe because they are beautiful, and it’s not so much about dying as it is letting go to make room for something better.

This article explains how shorter days and cooler nights signal leaf-dropping trees to line up “abscission” (scissor) cells in just…

For October’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I am continuing a series on the various abuses. Now, I will proceed with the next abuse: Marital Rape or Spousal Rape.

As we continue these postings on domestic violence, I want to share a poem that I wrote about spousal rape.  This is a real problem and I pray that more will understand the damage that it causes to it’s victims.  Remember, we all have a right to say NO.

The Monster Within…
where the lost of innocence for many begin.
For a loving and kind exterior,
hides the true mean interior.
Deceiving the innocent women,
but hiding the MONSTER within!
That monster hides silent,
till a trigger turns it violent.
Simple as it seems,

John Donne was a poet, philosopher, and man of the church in Renaissance England. His writing covered a wide range of material, including poems, songs, and sermons. I want to quote from one of his most famous pieces: “Meditation 17”, which many readers will recognize as the epigram at the beginning of Ernest Hemingway’s For Whom The Bell Tolls:

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were: any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

This quotation is an expression of Humanism and…

ARCHANGEL MI-KA-EL: I AM PROTECTING YOU AT ALL TIMES…

SEPTEMBER 14, 2017

You know that I would not allow anyone or anything to hurt or harm you or your earthly soul family in any way…Channeled by Genoveva Coyle

Greetings my peaceful and brave warriors of light! I am Mi-ka-el, your beloved family, and yes, I am Archangel of love and truth, Archangel of peace and light, in service to the Mother and to all of you.

I am your loving brother, but I am also your closest friend, for I am protecting you and I have my eyes on you and my heart is with thee at all times. You know that I would not allow anyone or anything to hurt or harm you or your earthly soul family in any way, and when there are children involved I am particularly eager to personally stand up and guard them…

A thought of you fills
me deep within with a
shower of love each day

Filling my heart with
a sparkling joy which I
will seek daily in my
life to stay

What a thought it is I
find which brings, such
a lovely turbulence inside

For each thought lasts
many moments filling me
with such a joyous pride

I am reminded my love you
are just as lovely when in my
quiet times on you I would
dream

Because what lives deep in
my mind is just as lovely
as the reality my eyes daily
see

It’s wonderful to have such
living memories inside during
the moments when I am not
near to you

For the blessings of love you
have given to me will always
chase away any sad lonely blues.

(May 1977)
