“You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.” ~Oliver Goldsmith
Love. Live. Love.
The message of my sermon is love. I think my life has been a loving one. I strive to be thankful every day. I hope that those who have interacted with me know that I am thankful they were a part of my life. I am very thankful for the people in my life now.

How many times have we said, “I can’t do that.”? Do we really mean we “won’t” do it? When we are unwilling to do something we limit our possibilities. There are times I limit myself in the smallest ways because I am not willing to do something. I wonder how life would open up if I were willing to do.

Twirling hearts
LOL. This quote is quite true. Which then begs the question…Can a person live a truth filled life? I mean really. How truthful can you be? Aren’t there little lies we tell ourselves just to make it through the day? What if we didn’t lie to ourselves? Could we really not lie to ourselves?

This quote intrigues me because I wonder…would I recognize what it is I would have to do? If I have never done it before, would I know what to do?
I think I live a safe life. I like being safe. Very rarely do I step outside my boundaries. So maybe the challenge is asking for something I have never had. I have been give a lot in this life. I am content. Will keep my mind open to new possibilities.
