Life is full of possibilities but you’ve got the leave the corridors of I can’t to the elevators of I’ll do my best to keep seeing change and empowering results.
Most times, change is painful and slow, but once it’s set in motion, there’s an incremental result.
We have to leave negativity behind to see clearer. Always keep an open mind, hearing ears (note that there’s a difference between listening and actually hearing), seeing eye’s – beyond the peripheries and an empathetic questioning mind.
We are called to live life in the fullness of joy and though this might be impossible to achieve 100% of the time, it’s possible to get it 95% of the time.

Below is my first just published Poetry Book “Out of the silent breath” which is available on Amazon and Smashwords.
When you buy my book, you support me in an invaluable manner.

I can see clearly now the ghosts are laid to rest
Broken visions melded and better than the first
Atop the ladder of scattered dreams and buried bones,
I glimpse the brighter vision reflected and renewed.
**an excerpt of my poem**

“There is no progress without change”
~ John Wooden ~
Humans drown in shame from the judgement of others…the whole while, that judgement radiates from the shame they most closely relate to.

Wow, this is deep and so true. I’ve tried my utmost to rid myself of the shame of other people’s judgement. I’ll do my best and leave the judgement out of the equation. Thank you for your comments. I just saw this now.

Beautiful words. To hear is to be passive. To listen is to be active- soemthing we could all do with being reminded every now and again 🙂

When we listen, we engage all our senses. I don’t know why my comments are playing peek-a-boo with me. I just saw this.

Thank you so much, dear Kaylaa. For some reason, this comment escaped my view and I just saw it. I sincerely appreciate your support. You did tell me before but this still feels good 🙂 Trying to get my act together to fine tune my second book (stories this time).

Interesting to read this today, as a few months ago I declared I was leaving the world of ‘I can’t’ and entering the world of ‘I will’. It is a better place to be, I think.

Jill, there’s nothing like that sense of positivity. Attitude really does make a whole lot of difference. Thank you for your comment which escaped my view earlier.

It certainly does! Of course, I still cannot be an Air Force pilot, but …. I have a fear of heights anyway 🙂
