A Special Message

On my birthday I received quite a few cards. All of them were very beautiful and very thoughtful howecer, there was this one card that my GM gave me that specifically spoke to the next level of how I am making a MUCH MORE CONSCIENCE EFFORT EVERYDAY to live my life in 2008 and on. (Had this been a few years ago, I probably would have said what a coincidence. But because I am a believer I know that with God there are no coincidences).
Remember that I told you on my B-day God allowed me to experience living life in true liberty and now HE allowed GM to send me a card that confirmed this next level that HE wants me to experience. I am so humbly amazed that God never forgets the little details.

Ok, so I just wanted to take the time to share the 8 steps of Life's Legacies written on the card by Hallmark. (You did know that 8 is the number of new beginnings, right?). :)

Live Deep: Never stop learning, playing, or finding wonder in the world around you. Live the length of your life, but live the depth of it as well.

Travel Light: There is no use in carrying around worry or regret. They only weigh you down. Always keep yourself open to hope and to love. They give us wings.

Forgive imperfection: In yourself and others. Imperfections keep things interesting. They're cracks where the light shines through.

Own beautiful things: And not just keep them in the drawer, tucked away for a perfect day. Surround yourself with things that make you happy, that remind you of the beauty all around us if we keep our eyes open to it.

Make Mistakes: Follow detours. Sometimes it takes an unexpected turn to help us find life that is waiting for us around the bend. Trust yourself and the path that is
meant for you.

Take care of yorself: And sometimes that means you need icecream. Be good to your body, but also to your mind and spirit. You"re the only one who can.

(#8) And always know that you are loved, you are a gift to the world and a blessing to me. And that will never change.

(C) Hallmark...

May you take these steps and incorporate them into your journey of Life Legacies.

Be Blessed and Be a Blessing to someone else.

With Much Love,

S.A.W.
