harmonious balance

The only thing I love more than being affected, is affecting others.
It comes down to sharing our stories, our gifts, our blessings and our challenges.
Listening to others, learning and growing.
Doing your best and then simply letting go.

peace & God bless

permalink Sunday Morning - “My Big Brother”
Good morning & I hope this finds you healthy & happy. I have a friend who I have always called my big brother. For 20 years he has always been there for me, whenever I needed him. No matter the situation, the time of day, or the reason, he was always there for me and never judged me. At this point in my life I know how valuable that type of friendship is. He once shared a quote about true friendship that I never forgot. He said a true brother/friend is someone you would “go down the river with”. I knew what that meant and I would go down the river with him, without question. My big brother sent a message to me on Brotherhood.  It made me think of the special “brothers” that have stood by my side for so many years. This small circle of brothers/friends made up my team, whom without, I would not have passed some of life’s tests and would not be where I am today. BrotherhoodBe the kind of man that, when your feet hit the floor each morning, the devil says “Oh Crap, He’s up!” Brother, life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forgive the ones who don’t, just because you can. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Take a few minutes to think before you act when you’re mad. Forgive quickly. God never said life would be easy, He just promised it would be worth it. To the cool men that have touched my life, here’s to you! A real Brother walks with you when the rest of the world walks on you. peace & God blesstjd

Sunday Morning - “My Big Brother”

Good morning & I hope this finds you healthy & happy.

Brotherhood

Be the kind of man that, when your feet hit the floor each morning, the devil says “Oh Crap, He’s up!”

Brother, life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right.

Forgive the ones who don’t, just because you can. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it.

Take a few minutes to think before you act when you’re mad. Forgive quickly. God never said life would be easy, He just promised it would be worth it.

To the cool men that have touched my life, here’s to you! A real Brother walks with you when the rest of the world walks on you.

peace & God bless
