The other day I was wearing sparkles on my chest and my friend’s daughter asked why and my friend said I was a princess. Then I said yes but a princess warrior and then we all laughed. But after I went home I started thinking ….princess warrior. I never equated the two together …why now???? You tell your little girl she is a little princess and she dresses like one …the boy is the warrior. Yet if the girl dressed always like a “warrior” people would start to feel she is not feminine enough. After all these years I see you can be the beautiful princess with the sparkles …..and the strong person who conquers evil!! In my dreams, I could be a Princess, and that’s what I was. Like most little girls, I believed nothing less than a Prince could make my dreams come true. Loretta Young

The other day I watched water running in a crack in the ground .As I watched I thought of how the water flowed and did not stop even though the crack had many turns and twists. The water did not let any of the cracks stop it from flowing . It winded down each one without stopping. So that is when I thought in life if we could be a little more like water……no matter what happens keep flowing………… Water flows humbly to the lowest level. Nothing is weaker than water, Yet for overcoming what is hard and strong, Nothing surpasses it. -Lao-Tzu The Way of Lao-tzu

Sometimes in life as we are walking the road we make a wrong turn. There are times when you clearly know you are wrong but you continue to walk hoping it will turn or maybe this path seems like it will be fun for a while. Or maybe you just are finding it hard to make that little right turn…this is how people stay married for 30 years when they should never married in the first place….it is one of the reasons we are at a job we hate for 20 years… When you are walking down that path and you realize it is the wrong way …beep your horn…put your signal on but whatever you do quickly make that right!!!!! A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere. Groucho Marx

Judging……I have been reading the bible lately and there was a paragraph from Jesus about judging. He said do not judge other people for only God can judge. How can you say someone has a splinter in their eye when you have a whole plank??? It made me think…I know a few people who judge the others around them all the time. They never see their actions as wrong or misguided only the “one” that is on the chopping block. They talk about and comment about everyone’s life but yet their life is fine. Whose boyfriend is wrong for them…who is not bringing up their children right…who does not have the right work ethic and the list goes on and on. But I thought these people do not see themselves but sometimes I think these people might be under a brighter spot light since they themselves do it they know very well the person right around the corner is talking to someone about why they look so tired because of all their late night partying….. “You want to remember that while you’re judging the book, the book is also judging you.” ― Stephen King, Night Shift
