‘PLEASE KEEP SENDING IN THE LINKS.’ 

Today’s featured blogs posts are:

Do step in and show some love.

Booktubing a whole new world: have you been booktubing? Have you given it a try? This could prove to be another wonderful way of promoting your book. Look in and see.

The black wall blog: a beautiful blog that talks about PTSD, depression, panic, anxiety, inspiring posts and helping each other along. Say hello

Perfectionism is my enemy: are you playing the perfection game? How much has it paid you?

These messages are tricks that people have played on us. No matter how hard we try, we think we have to do better. Perfection always eludes us and keeps us unhappy with the good we’ve done.

You can teach a dog: Lydia’s honest short post is really food for thought. We can learn and unlearn and empower ourselves in the right manner no matter how much dirt has been thrown on us in the past. Do peek in.

Just hold on – Writers quote Wednesday challenge.

Love[1]

I believe and have faith in love
for in it lies immeasurable strength
Even on day’s when my faith in humanity
diminishes to micro pieces
that it won’t even match a mustard seed
On such days, I look up to the heavens
and facing the sky
I let the shadows fall behind.

There are moments when faith
is all that have
to propel me forward and hold me upright
On such days, I clasp my thin flicker of faith
like a loving companion and cloak
and allow its strength to seep into me
till my hope rises again.

There are moments
when the future might look bleak to us
when so much seems to be going wrong
in such moments
we turn to faith in hope
that the future will look brighter
if only we can hold on.

Faith includes noticing the mess, the emptiness and discomfort, and letting it be there until some light returns – Anne Lamott

Faith does not make things easy, but makes them possible – Luke 1:37

Writing this week’s prompt ‘Faith’ for WQWWC after days of minds battered with all that’s happening around us is a welcome reprieve even though it’s a hard topic. A hard topic to write on when it’s seems as though the World is momentarily going berserk and my faith in humanity dwindles.

Then again, if we completely lose our faith, then all hope is truly lost and we’ll find ourselves living in a World that’s not only pessimistic and negative, but will become a highly toxic World.

So, I’ll hold onto my flicker of faith that love will always win and my faith comes from above.

From the oddest places: your happiness endorphins can come from odd places and it could be from flicking through Netflix. I agree with this because we can truly choose and drop that which we want or don’t want. Take a sneak peek 😉

Time travel, mom style: this post made me smile. It gave me ideas and now I’ll be looking around for where to create such timeless mementos 🙂

Nature for all: beautiful words and thoughts.  I found them soothing for the eyes and mind 🙂

Midnight Motivation and Musings # 102

Your life is never going to be perfect and neither are you

So, quit wasting time and waiting for the perfect time to do those things that you wish to do.

The more we keep pushing aside the things that we desire to do, hoping for a perfect time and so on, we not only act as though we are in charge of the time or the future, but we actually set up ourselves for unhappiness, discontentment…

We forget that tomorrow waits for no one and that all you are guaranteed is today; this very moment that you have.

The future actually belongs to those who push aside the excuses of waiting for everything to be perfect and get going to the place where they need to be.

Now is that perfect time and the future is actually now.
