All the Difference

For some people the love within them radiates.

And their lives are lived as one of personal growth,

of ongoing discovery and adventure.

Then then there are those, who tragically,

the love within them fades, and they live lives of

disappointment and resentment, or of quiet

desperation and apathy.

Love, like the sun, is self-generating and self-energizing.

How we manifest and nurture the love within us will, for the

most part, determine the quality and type of life we live.

A life without love would be like a world without sun, cold and barren.

May we each, in our own special way, contribute to each other’s

personal growth, development, and well-being.

Knowing this for me has made all the difference.

As We

As we journey through life we will experience the good

and the bad; the beautiful and the ugly; the 

spectacular and the horrific.

And how we come to terms with what we experience will, 

for the most determine, who we become as a person  

and the type of life we live.

For me, coming to terms with this was an ongoing process.

Sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing, learning

equally from both.

Moving forward, striving to be and to do better, to stay

on the right path,
