If you're willing to pay the price,
any of your circumstances will change.
If you want something badly enough,
you're sure to get it.
The key to success is desire.

Obstacles don't matter very much.
Pain, circumstances or other challenges can be there.
But if you want to do something bad enough,
you'll find a way to get it done.

Your desire will in time externalize itself into concrete fact.
Your reality will form around your commitment to succeed.

You only have to love a thing greatly to get it.
Desire is the fire of life.

up.
I asked The Goddess to make my handicapped child whole.

I asked The Goddess to to grant me patience.
The Goddess said, No. patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't
granted, it is earned.

you closer to me.

you fruitful.

just noticed i have 1 comment! hehe  I cant get my pictures to load correctly here.  no work today. so im sitting here bored, & thought what the heck i'll type out my frustration on my blog. Hope everyone is doing well, & the Goddess is blessing you with the beauty of spring! I see new buds everywhere!! The indian paint brushes & blue bonnets have really started to shoot up here Houston!! Its soooooooooo beautiful!!  tho we dont have a "winter" our trees still lose their leaves, & the plants all seem to fade away.  But, tho i really dislike the heat, its nice to see color on Gaia again!! you can smell spring in the air!!

get out there & hug a tree, plant a tree, or smell a flower. Mother nature is at her best right now, its up to us to see it!

Oh another thing, How do you react if you see someone litter??? since becoming more  intune with nature, I can feel Gaias pain when someone throws garbage out of their car window!! I want to get out of my car & throw it back in there & say how do YOU like it??? I saw a man throw a coke can out the other day, almost hit my car as i was behind him... I got so angry i saw red!! unfortunatley traffic was to heavy for me to stop & pick it up (i would have caused a 30 car pile up!!) So i asked God to forgive the man, & asked Gaia to try to use it to recycle back into the earth... what would you have done???

Have a BLESSED spring!

Love light & laughter
