Our "Rainbows and Butterflies" are the small miracles of our life -
the little things that are so easy to overlook,
yet so awe inspiring when we take a moment
to notice and to pay attention.
Give thanks for the rainbows, for the butterflies,
for all God's creatures - large and small,
for the bright blue sky and the soft fog and the gentle rain,
for the tree veiled in the season's first frost,
for the baby's laugh,
for the touch of a hand and the whispered "I love you."

LOVE LETTERS TO YOURSELF
This is taken from a love letter (a gentle reminder)
I wrote to myself recently.
Live in your joy today.
Be authentic. Love yourself. First.
Love others from your own abundance.

of being into new circumstances
rather than becoming new yourself.
Embrace transformation as an opportunity.
And keep on writing love letters to yourself.

the legacy instead of the small.

reach to the edges of my unfurled heart and fully enrolled hope.

I Did Not Die
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

a heightened sense of community.
It draws our chins up and
helps us look above and over
the limiting fence of our own events,

you will notice the gentle touch
and will be able to respond. Remember...

Every compassionate act makes large the world.
