We Ceased Fighting Everything and Everyone

When we learn that we do not need to fight our way through life, we discover a new level of freedom because we choose, we make a choice, not to have our way and not to force outcomes. Why? Because we have learned that we are children of the universe and that all things work out for the best, so we do not need to force our will. We trust that God and the Universe are working with us toward our ultimate good. We simple do what we need to do and leave the results to God. We have learned to trust that which we do not see...we gain faith. When I was faced with my worse fears, I asked God why I had to have this terrible thing. It was revealed to me that I would emerge stronger and better. I did and even stronger or better than I could possibly imagine.

Fall

Fall is coming to Florida and, unlike the change of colors and cool breezes of Chicago, it means here a break in humidity and the end of the rainy season. I ran in darkness this morning and then the light broke signaling that everything is cyclical - everything is ok...

Running without Legs

I have this freind who runs, bicycles and swims in Triathlons and is missing both legs and part of his right arm. He walks around and lives life notwithstanding his limitations!! This is the secret to a good life - to do what no one would think you could or should so that you know what you can or shall!!!

The Storms in My Heart and Mind.

The storms in my heart and mind have cleared and my soul is a quiet tropical beach along a placid sea and warm sunshine. That said, I think today will rock. I hope your day has a special surprise in it!!! I said my prayers and asked God to shake things up and give me a challenge if I could not have things get easier. Then, suddenly, things go easier. It is temporary. Failure in temporary and success is never permanent. Peace.

Don't Listen To Your Lie

There are days when life seems very difficult and we wonder if we can do all the things that we desire; I remember Thomas Edison did thousands of experiments before his success. "If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves". (Edison) Don't listen to the lie that you can't...!

All Sunshine Makes A Desert

There is an old Arab saying that all sunshine makes a desert which is very true. I am really sad today and I know that it is simply the burdens of life. I know what to do - rest, pray, ask for help, go to a meeting, help someone else, trust and keep going. This too shall pass... The thing is that I used to sit and wallow in my discomfort and actually enjoy it. Today, I take action so that I don't stay in the desert too long.

Touche the kid is gonna be ok

I was running this morning around Lake Eola, thinking about people who die before their time. I ran past the spot where this woman Jill sold organic herbs every Saturday. She was a diva who died of my disease. Wisin & Yandel " Touche the kid is gonna be ok" They said it about me. They were right. I am going to be ok. So are you...
