What about paint
it frees the mind
what about color
soothes and remembers
what about pictures
speaks more than
words

Fences
What kind of fences are up in your mind
to block what you can do
always remember not to limit yourself
what you do is up to you
My Mamaw Would Have Been 107 Today
If my Mamaw were still around, she would be 107 today! I miss her. She was a great Mamaw to me!! I hope she looks down on my girls and smiles. :)

God's Clues
The answer is there if you are still and listen. Learn from the journey...the journey gives you what you need when looking for the answer. God's little clues.
Glimmers of Light
Instead of looking back with shame, guilt or embarrassment
look back and see
all the glimmers of light
you gave to others
all the expressions of hope
someone learned from you
all the truth your journey can bring
to those going through the same
things now
Learning from other's journeys is a gift! Let's share and learn!

The Velveteen Rabbit
I love the Velveteen Rabbit story. In a quote from this story the Velveteen Rabbit is asking the skin horse about being real “Does it hurt?” “Sometimes” “when you are real you don’t mind being hurt”.
How true these words seem When we are real with each other we take off the mask. Once the mask is off we can allow ourselves to be loved as we really are. It is not always easy. Sometimes the mask has been on for years. Once it is off we reap the benefits of true friendship. Here is another quote from skin horse “once you are real you can’t be ugly except to people who don’t understand…but once you are real you can’t become unreal again. It lasts for always”.
My sister said on her blog “love sort of rubs some of the shiny off”. Once we are real with each other we don’t have to worry about being perfect. Our shiny can be rubbed off and it is okay. Our friends love us anyway. When we are real we are free to do God’s will. We are free to follow his lead and help other people be real.
I guess this is why “the Velveteen Rabbit” has always been my favorite children’s book.
