Life Storms

A friend of mine sent me the following email several weeks ago (thanks, Christina).  At the time I wasn’t sure why I saved it.  Now I know.  In response to many of your messages regarding my recent posts, I’d like to respond by means of this short story. “A Child’s View of Thunderstorms” A little girl walked to and from school daily.  Though the weather that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trek to school.  As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, along with lightning. The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her Continue reading >>

Find Your Voice (Inspired by Maria Shriver)

Find Your Voice (Inspired by Maria Shriver)

Maria Shriver has a little gem of a book called Just Who Will You Be?  Good, short read.  It asks big questions, in a very small book.  At the end of the book she lists ten things she pledges to herself to keep her focused and centered on who she wants to be. On a side note, I found it interesting that throughout the book, she referenced several times how she was determined to find who she wanted to be, instead of who she is.  I see that as a very distinct difference, but maybe it’s just semantics.  For me, Continue reading >>

Tell Your Story

Tell Your Story Inspired by an Angel Named Lola I don’t like shopping, unless it’s for shoes.  So as I parked my car in front of the shoe store, I was baffled by what felt like a tug, luring me into this cutesy candles, tea towels, and all-things-feminine store.  As I walked in the front door, I was drawn to the far wall, my gaze rising, as I connected with the reason I had walked in in the first place: This is Lola, with her angel wings, her sweet, yet somber face, and a message I really love.  TELL YOUR Continue reading >>

A Faithless Creed (What Do You Believe?)

What Do You Believe? “A Faithless Creed” -by Tony Bower I believe in Australia but have never been there. I believe in Barnsley FC but don’t pay to see them play. I believe in university education but to what degree? I believe in lions but not to hang around with. I believe in outer space but have no plans to visit. I believe in Sky TV but am not a subscriber. I believe in many things but is that the same as having faith? A faith that makes a difference to my daily living doing and being. A faith that Continue reading >>

Dreaming. Living. Reality.

Jan 182011
 

Along with receiving a daily quote via email, I also receive an email from “TUT…A Note from the Universe.”  It may sound kind of hokey, but they’re typically dead on.  For example, one day last week I received, “It’s all for learning.  It’s all for learning.  Leslie, it’s all for learning.”  Which completely fit the circumstances for that day. Also last week, I received, “Dream big. Start small.”  Cool.  Right on!  That’s exactly where I am in my life.  I have BIG dreams for Trust Life Today, and with my personality type, I wanted them done yesterday! But how can Continue reading >>
