The Meaning of True Love

It is sharing and caring,



Giving and forgiving,



Loving and being loved,



Walking hand in hand,



Talking heart to heart,



Seeing through each other's eyes,



Laughing together,



Weeping together,



Praying together,



And always trusting



And believing



And thanking God



For each other...



For love that is shared



is a beautiful thing--



It enriches… Continue

WHEN I'M AN OLD LADY

By ~ Joanne Baxter ~





When I'm an old lady, I'll live with my kids,

and make them so happy, just as they did.

I want to pay back all the joy they've provided,

returning each deed. Oh, they'll be so excited.



When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.



I'll write on the wall with reds, whites and blues,

and bounce on the furniture wearing my shoes.

I'll drink from the carton and then leave it out.

I'll… Continue

Children Learn What They Live

By Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.





If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.

If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.

If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.

If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.

If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.

If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.

If children live with shame,… Continue

Ants Never Cry "Uncle"

Charles Ghigna



Consider the little ant.

He never says, "I can't."

And so it comes as no surprise,

He carries things ten times his size.







The Art of Start

Charles Ghigna



Don't search for inspiration when

You have a task to do;

Just start your work and you will see

That it will soon find you.







Best Laid Plans

Charles Ghigna



A plan is only good if… Continue

It's Fine Today

Poet: By Douglas Malloch

Sure, this world is full of trouble-

I ain't said it ain't.

Lord, I've had enough and double

Reason for complaint;

Rain and storm have come to fret me,

Skies are often gray;

Thorns and brambles have beset me

On the road - but say,

Ain't it fine today?



What's the use of always weepin',

Making trouble last?

What's the use of always keepin'

Thinkin' of the past?

Each must… Continue

Did Anyone Ever Tell You,



Just How Special You Are



The Light that You Emit



Might even Light a Star







Did Anyone Ever Tell You



How Important You Make Others Feel



Somebody out here is Smiling



About Love that is so Real







Did Anyone Ever Tell You



Many Times, When They were Sad



Your E-mail made Them Smile a bit



In Fact It made Them… Continue

Dotty's Inspirational/Motivational Reflection

May you enjoy all the streams of Love that flow into your life;

The Love from family and friends;

The Love from parents and children;

The Love from pets

and the Love from God.

Celebrate Love all day long.

For it is the breath of your existence,

and the best of all reasons for living.

Be Thankful

By Unknown



Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.

If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something,

for it gives you the opportunity to learn.



Be thankful for the difficult times.

During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations,

because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge,

because it… Continue

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind;

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them;



To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true;



To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best;



To be just as… Continue

The Cracked Pot Story



A water bearer in India had two large pots,

one hung on each end of a pole which he carried

across his neck. One of the pots had a crack

in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always

delivered a full portion of water at the end

of the long walk from the stream to the

master's house. The cracked pot arrived only half full.



For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half… Continue

Dotty's Inspirational/Motivational Reflection

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're… Continue

"Beauty is a primeval phenomenon, which itself never makes its appearance, but the reflection of which is visible in a thousand different utterances of the creative mind, and is as various as nature herself."

"I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing."

Dotty's Inspirational/Motivational Reflection

This is a copy of a poem I wrote about 4 years ago and just wanted to put it out there for anyone who hasn't read it. I just got back from the NAAF conference and I remembered someone saying something about this "thing" and it reminded me of my poem. I literally sat down and wrote this in less than 2 hours. I hope you like it.





THIS "THING" CALLED ALOPECIA



Okay world, where do I start?

I guess I'll tell it straight from the heart.

Happy Father's Day

What Makes a Dad



God took the strength of a mountain,

The majesty of a tree,

The warmth of a summer sun,

The calm of a quiet sea,

The generous soul of nature,

The comforting arm of night,

The wisdom of the ages,

The power of the eagle's flight,

The joy of a morning in spring,

The faith of a mustard seed,

The patience of eternity,

The depth of a family need,

Then God combined these qualities,

When there was nothing… Continue

You cannot change the world, but you can present the world with one improved person, yourself.



You can go to work on yourself to make yourself into the kind of person you admire and respect.



You can become a role model and set a standard for others.



You can control and discipline yourself to resist acting or speaking in a negative way toward anyone for any reason.



You can insist upon always doing… Continue

Achieve Your Dreams

by Author Unknown



Life is what happens while you are making other plans.



A person of words and not deeds

is like a garden full of weeds.



It's better to be trusted than liked, Underpromise - Overperform.

The key to happiness and success is to have a dream.

All the flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today.

You always pass failure on the way to success.



You have to wake up in order for… Continue
