Lantern Flower

Faith means living with uncertainty .. feeling your way through life .. letting your heart guide you .. like a lantern in the dark. (Dan Millman)

The Lantern Flower...exotic and delicate...one of God's cutest detailed work of art.

Do you see it?

Endearing and joyful emblem of warmth... of life and love.

Are you embracing it?


The world, indeed, is like a dream and the treasures of the world are an alluring mirage...

Are you captivated?

The truth is that life is delicious, horrible, charming, frightful, sweet, bitter...a little of everything.

Are you inspired by it?
Life is full of beauty...

DO YOU notice it, feel it, smell it, touch it...live it?

Life is filled with questions...

Are you courageous enough to seek the answers and continue to give meaning to your life?


Thoughts...

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, education, money ... than circumstances, failure, successes ... than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a person.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change people. We cannot change the inevitable.

I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. I have one confirmed answer in living my life:

I am not a has-been. I am a will be!
