“Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.”

“Together, one mind, one life (one small step at a time), let’s see how many people (and lives) we can encourage, impact, empower, enrich, uplift and perhaps even inspire to reach their fullest potentials…and strive for and perhaps one sunny day even achieve their wildest dreams.”

“I wish you well on a rainy day
I wish you rainbows to brighten your day
To feel your quiet moments with a special kind of warmth
to remind you that happiness can happen
when you least expect it.

I wish you rainbows to make you laugh and smile
to show you the simple beauty of life
and to give you the magic of dreams come true.

I wish you rainbows
I wish you well.”

– Larry S. Chengges

 

“Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and follow where they (may) lead.”

To greet you. You will understand.”

God

Grant me the Serenity

To accept the things I cannot change

 

The Courage

To change the things I can

 

The Wisdom

To know the difference

 

Grant me Patience

For the changes that take time

 

Appreciation

For all that I have

 

Tolerance

For those with different struggles

 

And the Strength

To get up and try again one day at a time

Ripples of Hope: “Few (of us) will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events… “

light-great2

“Few (of us) will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man (or woman) stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, (she or) he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”
– the powerful and greatly inspiring words of Robert F. Kennedy:

Adress by Robert F. Kennedy, University of Cape Town,  South Africa, June 6, 1966

“Together, one mind, one heart, one life, one small step at a time, let’s link hands and march into a new tomorrow, a better and brighter future. TOGETHER we can do it”

TOGETHER, one mind, one heart, one soul, one small step at a time, we can make some difference towards a better world, a brighter tomorrow

“SHARE, ENCOURAGE and SPREAD, HOPE, LOVE and LIGHT”

good morning, sunshine

“Because when a man loves, he seeks no power, and therefore he has power.”

“Because when a man loves, he seeks no power, and therefore he has power.”

– powerful and inspiring words from Alan Paton,  South African writer and humanitarian and author of the classic and greatly moving book Cry the Beloved Country (1948)
