For the Ladies

Hail brave hearts

The joy is in the giving, they say, so be the one who brings joy into this world.  Have gratitude for the good in life and strive to make it better.

Hail to the ladies, the homemakers that save us.  The home, the hearth, the comforting indoor space that protects us.  The home, where we share our lives with our families.  This is the best place that the world has to offer,  the home.  The home, where nurturing is, where people care, where our lives are born and cherished,  where we grow and mature.  This is the family place, the special private place for love and laughter, joy and giving.  The world’s safe place.  A place to be safe with a family who knows and cares

There are many aspects to a home, it’s not always a house to live in.  It’s a place of bonding, of sharing, of nurture and care.  It the place that we always remember, for what was so good about it.  The family, the chef, the seamstress, the carpenter, the family man and his wife with all of the children that are gifts to them.  The gift of children, the gift of family, whether the fortunes are high, or not.

Some are saved by having plenty, plenty of spirit, of knowledge, of education, of connections, friends, loved ones and community.  Some are saved by having less, but still the bonds of family, friends, affection, community and sharing.  More of less, whatever it is.  life brings fruits and hammers to all of us.  The resilient rise, the strength of others subsides, but the nucleus of the family and this support, brings strength to those in despair. Gather round, the support is there.  Love and kindness wins.

To those of us from the support side, the family connections are needed.  It’s the times of trouble that cause the most stress and the connection to key elements in life is necessary to bolster the strength needed to surpass the pain.  Small acts of kindness are sometimes the greatest gift of all.  A warm hug, a friendly conversation, an invitation to join, a plan for relief.  The task may seem too challenging, but there are those who care.  The family is the first and last resort in healing.

In our direst hour, strength is in our loved ones.

So disaster strikes and healing begins, first at home, then in community.  Those who know will come forward with care, compassion and sometimes affection.  Love grows and miracles emerge.  The home is growing, it’s becoming a neighbourhood, of friends, connections, work force and people.  God’s family are emerging.  God’s family are contacting, connecting,  reaching, touching, sharing, caring, warming the heart and the soul.  This is community. where all of us live.  A place to call home, a community to belong to. A sense of fellowship and a safe haven from the world’s difficult times.

Rejoice in good fortune, it comes and it goes.  Mourn in despair, but gather your courage.  The winds of time blow warm and cold.  This is just what life is.  Be strong, be courageous,  love and be loved.  The world will miss your participation.

It’s in the Inspiration

Hail Brave Hearts

Happy New Year!  It’s 2024.

The inspiration  is here   It’s in joy, happiness, thrills and excitement.  The new year brings in a new resolution.  Decide on the need, the necessity, the challenge.  What will you be this year?

It starts with joy and merriment.  Drink, feast, music, dance,,,, dance the night away.  A sense of change, fellowship and fun and always the hope for something new, perhaps catastrophic, a change.  So what will the resolution be?  Self discipline?  Courage?  How to make this change, to transform to a new being, to be the butterfly from the caterpillar.  Both are beautiful, but what is the preference, to fly, or to crawl?

Both are beautiful.

Both have advantages.

The dilemma is decided in the insect world, emerge from a  cocoon and fly.   For us, the decision is ours.  Or so they say.  Inspiration is a dream, work is a reality,   You just have to get there, from here.

The dream is in the mind, to rise to the challenge is also in the mind.  Inspiration is everywhere.  Focus.  Focus and built.  Each day is a new day.  Each day is a day to commit to the dream.  To focus on creating the reality.  Make a plan, consult, build relationships and work.  Each day is the dream in progress.  But dreaming is not the reality.   Work is what is needed and hard work for excellence and achievement is always the reality.

There’s competition in this fine world.  So many brilliant achievers, with such dedication to their goals.  Striving and struggling, building and working, some so desperate, their pleas are in agony.  Help us!

Choose wisely, you heroes.  Your finest aptitude is your preferred focus.  To win at such an intense game as life, you need to choose properly.  A fine mind, well educated.  A fine body, well nourished and exercised.  A fine society to spend your life with.  The tangible goals and the far reaching goals, all part of the plan.  A well executed plan is a life goal.

Living by chance is a challenging game.  Not really knowing where to go, what to do, who to associate with, presents many difficulties.  It’s much easier to choose appropriately, find likeminded colleagues, adapt to change and build necessary skills.  It’s much easier to be pleased with achievements, than to live in the sorrow of incompetence.  Choose correct aptitudes and focus on the natural gift.  It’s there.  So is the social bond of classmates, colleagues, family and friends.  The mutual support group.

This call to action is for an adventure.  This is the adventure of your life!

There are many worlds to live in, on this fine planet.  Each world nurtures the craving aptitude that relishes in it.  The aptitude that relies on it.

It’s a fine world, full of fabulous brilliance.  The sun shines brightly on the great planet.  The Earth and it’s inhabitants are a mission of impossible reality.  Each tiny footprint of ours makes a mark on the surface.  Marks of greatness or marks of insignificance.

Plan your adventure.  This is your life, live in reality.  This is your greatest adventure.
