“Wholehearted living is about engaging in our lives from a place of worthiness. It means cultivating the courage, compassion, and connection to wake up in the morning and think, No matter what gets done and how much is left undone, I am enough. It’s going to bed at night thinking, Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn’t change the truth that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging.” ~ Brené Brown

A Thought For Your Monday
“A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower. You didn’t have to struggle to make your face different than anyone else’s on earth. It just is. You are unique because you were created that way. Look at little children in kindergarten. They’re all different without trying to be. As long as they’re unselfconsciously being themselves, they can’t help but shine. It’s only later, when children are taught to compete, to strive to be better than others, that their natural light becomes distorted.” ~ Marianne Williamson
Week 16, The 52 Project
Happy Easter to everyone. Today begins week 16 of The 52 Project. I am posting a shot of D., my seven-year-old grand-daughter. Unfortunately, she is the only one of my 6 ¾ grandchildren who was able to spend Easter with us, but fun was had by all. In between the cooking, Easter egg hunts, eating, and other excitement, I coaxed her to sit among a patch of Texas blue bonnets. Of course, she insisted that her new stuffed animal be included in the photograph. I think that both of them are little cuties. (Now, if I had any Photoshop skills, I am certain that I could have gotten rid of the car in the top right background, but alas, lacking that skill, the car stays.)
Happy Easter
I wanted to take this time to wish those of us who are Christians, a Happy Easter. I realize that not everyone follow these beliefs and to my Jewish brethren, I hope that your final days of Passover are happy ones. For those of you who are Agnostic or just not certain, I simply wish you a beautiful day filled with happiness, light, love and laughter. And to every one of us, I wish ‘peace.’
I apologize if I’ve missed anyone.
