.. in this year to come ..

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are
making new things, trying new things, learning,
living, pushing yourself, changing yourself,
changing your world. You’re doing things
you’ve never done before, and more importantly,
you’re doing something.
                                    ~ Neil Gaiman

new-year-2017-smaller

As 2017 begins, we find life and the world in a precarious balance – the political scene in many countries struggling; terrorist activities still at play; war tearing apart lands; anger and discord abound.  It is a struggle to find our own personal peace within during times such as these.  But it is important that we strive for positivity; that we peer through the clouds for something that makes us smile.  Maybe it is the puppy at your feet or the little child down the street or is it a smile from a stranger or even an agreement with an enemy?  We need to do better, be better and help our children, family, friends and those we mentor follow in the steps of positive approach.  When someone says something negative about a gender, a race, a sexual preference, an immigrant – try to diffuse the negativity and move the needle to a more proactive and equal position.  We will never agree with everyone’s opinion but shouldn’t we open our minds, ears and perhaps our hearts to try to understand why there is a difference of opinion?  We should strive to find our own peace amongst the chaos. As the golden rule says – “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Matt. 7:12).

I wish each and every one of you a blessed 2017 – a year that you find happiness and love; a year where you achieve your goals – big and small; a year that allows you to overcome the low times and find the good each time.  Find your peace and surround yourself with those that compliment and help you be better.  *hugs*

.. all made of stars ..

Sparkles abound … the stars fall from the sky.  She wonders if she should make a wish or two or more.  But do wishes really come true?  In her experience, the likelihood is slim. But she is still hopeful, still wants to make the leap…to hope, to dream, to yearn, to pray… she makes the wish as the stars continue to sprinkle around her. A dreamy state of being helps the possibilities seem endless.  She will wake up tomorrow… but for now… the wish takes her to a wonderfully happy place.

.. fight like a girl ..

 

“My heart is a weapon of war
My voice is my weapon of choice
An eye for an eye,
A heart for a heart,
A soul for a soul.
We fight for the dream,
We fight to the death,
We fight for control.”

061616 blog ROQUAI Boxer a

“There is no such thing as justice,
All the best that we can hope for is revenge
A hostile takeover,
An absolute rebellion to the end.
This is our battle cry
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I’m giving you a head start,
You’re going to need it,
’Cause I fight like a girl”

061616 blog ROQUAI Boxer b

“I’ll get my revenge on the world or a least 49% of the people in it
And if I end up with blood on my hands,
Well, I know that you’ll understand,
’Cause I fight like a girl.”

061616 blog ROQUAI Boxer c

“We are under attack
What is the body count?
I’ve lost track
If nobody’s mentioned how this will end,
Then I’ll be the first
there are more of US than there are of you,
So show me your worst…”
Lyrics by Emilie Autumn
