"Fields of Gold"
Love, still remains to be the most "necessary ingredient " if the battle for life is to be won. by Scott Harrup
My heart is unfurled ; can no longer hide from what it knows that only God can fill the void in my life. It's His unfathomable love and unparalleled grace of a Savior who could redeem me. Thus, I hope that you're sailing with me to shore.
I remember You...walking and lying with me in the fields of gold.

"Sailing in all Winds"
You have to be "you" to be free not the other way around. That's just me... It's an emblem, the touchstone of how well you celebrate life- - -to know you!
Every dream I had that never reached its axis leaves me less disconcerting as I go through life...
Not everything is significant; just like reading, you can scan and skip what's before your eyes- - - because if you give meaning to every soul and to every circumstance, you won't have time to decipher what's good and beneficial to you. Again, that's just me. What they say about every thing happens for a reason does not really resonate with me. We give so much meaning and almost indiscretions to people's feelings and emotions. We try to weave uncharted territories that serves no purpose. Leave them unrestrained. There's beauty in that, too.
However; take hold of your heart, its fortitude and faith to hang on to what is left...
After all, there is Power in Choice, Power in Speech, Power in Faith, Hope & Love. These given rights are Achievable, Doable only when you think that you can with your heart's good intention.
Don't let life's sense of wonder become just whispers, be loud and outspoken while there is still time. Write, speak, listen, feel and share what you absolutely love. Daunting and peculiar and distant they may be, but to me and you, they're indelible marks of who we are. Own it!
The stormy winds of life, them, too, will pass. Its course of nature is changing. Just how much you cling to it has to be about you and you alone.
I dare to be daring as I can be this year...Look up with me!
Thank you

"How I Enthralled the First Day of the Year" 2013
I have an immense knack for classic/romantic movies. Also, I'm equally dazzled and blown away by the 70's genre of music. I love anything that makes my soul in awe...in a standstill, in a very revealing moment, be it soaked in reading or writing stuff that revives my heart into a leap of faith; what tunes my heart to speak definitively... like the poetry of the violin, guitar and the piano in one piece.
Some funny and titillating things about me: I cry for anything. My eyes swelled with tears out of desperation as well as frustration. Why some of us can't get it till now! Why many of us just choose to be callous and unaffected? Such thoughts linger and hover.
...And so I watched "Overboard" movie starring Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn. "Cute" movie I must say. My sons watched it with me @ home which made it all a wholesome-family movie. After that, I had to dry plenty of clothes and folded them neatly. That wasn't actually a chore for me as long as I'm audibly inspired by good music on the radio.
I took an afternoon power nap. I could hear "Cocoa" snoring. That perpetuated my desire to go for a walk. We both need it. Cocoa needs to lose about 10 lbs. to alleviate mild arthritis on her left thigh. For me, it's more for an over-all mind and soul wellness. It has given me more for what its worth...healthy living.
And Today, my feet seem to be walking in a clearer path...
Lastly, I'm going to quote Dr. Henry Cloud's perspective: "We can only have relationships that equal our own ability. So if we want the great things that relationships offer- like love, security, and growth-then we have to be people capable of building love, providing security, and fostering growth. When we are, we can have the relationships we want. Until we are, great relationships will elude us."
To God Be The Glory

"Christmas Mornings"
Today's Christmas Morning...
Still in flannel-holiday print pajamas which was given to me a few years back by my sister Mhing.
Fresh-brewed "Bustelo" coffee is always my prime source of adrenalin next to walking in the park...
Enveloping Josh & Calvin's presence; the catalyst of why motherhood is the core essence of my time...
"What a Wonderful Life" will be my tonight's surreal moment, just me and myself, a "throw blanket" and my mind, heart, soul in sync with each other---love it that way!
And of course, my personal passion= beautiful words echoing in my heart, be it in a song, a book, your voice that wakes my dormancy or an image, a vision and that very special memory that fortifies hope, faith and love that some of us have let go...
>Life can still be beautiful. Be in awe for that "wonder." Everything is going to be alright. It sure belongs to you, me, us, everyone.
Let's hold it together, closer this time of year---my thoughts of today's Christmas morning.
Merry Christmas And God Bless Us All!
May you go out in joy and be led forth with peace; may the mountains and hills burst into song before you. And may all the trees of the field clap their hands. Isaiah 55:12

"The Good News"
After a morning jog/walk with "Cocoa" (my chocolate Lab.); I decided to de-clutter my writing space. I know you guys out there can all relate to procrastination as the most convenient excuse as it's always been my one of my closest nemesis.
I've seen old receipts that should have been tossed away and books & magazines that should have been shared-handed to other people. Hoarding non-essentials is always a habit to be broken. Having said that, at the eve of Thanksgiving, my own feast should be "less is more" by Robert Browning---to honor my space for writing.
Yeah, as they said, while in the process on tidying up your space, you have to let go first and foremost deep attachments to old things for new "gems" to enter in your life. Yup, as soon as I contemplated on that thought I came across this yellow-lined paper dated Feb. 07, 2001 that was just entreating me to blog it...I don't know but the words were just too colossal to ignore. What do you think?
Here it is:
"The good news is that pain---whether from loss of love, opportunity, health, or self-esteem---while sometimes soul-crushing is rarely permanent.
And if pain is a thief, stealing away your security, it does leave your security in exchange: experience."
"Experience has taught me that hearts heal, souls mend, brains readjust, we move on. It has also taught me that feeling better---is a jagged process during which people say the most darn things in an awkward attempt to lighten someone's load.'
I wish, hope and pray for everyone a healthy, blessed, & joyful Thanksgiving holiday.
In all things and everything, give thanks to God.
