March 2012: A Prayer


May today there be peace within. 
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. 
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. 
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God. 
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise, and love. 
It is there for each and every one of us.

St. Theresa of Lisieux

March 2012: Reflections


My times are in your hands.
Psalm 31:15




“It is never too late to spend time on the important things.  It is never too late to do what makes you happy.  There is always time to look around and see something beautiful.  The secret to using time well is not secret at all.  It is summed up in the Alcoholics Anonymous slogan:  One day at a time.  This is not only the best we can do, but the careful design of a Creator who knew what our needs are and how to meet them.  Some of us (ME!!) will need to adapt that slogan to:  One minute at a time.  That’s okay.  This minute is a gift.  As someone said, that’s why we call it the present.”
