Melanie

I'm 1 part hopeless romantic + 1 part thrill-seeking adventurist
+ 1 part nature lover + 1 part bleeding-heart philanthropist
+ 1 part sarcasm mistress + 1 part laughing hyena
+ 1 part dancing queen + 1 one part intellectual genius
+ 1 part animal defender + 1 part neverending dreamer.
let's see, that makes me absolutely perfect!!!
(or is it insane?)

"life simply life" by Doc Huckster
a life force moving along with the others like yourself..recognizing the different parts that connect and bind us to everything else..the animals the plants and the various energies sing and vibrate..calling calling to those asleep o awake awake..thinking of the light and the light manifests and grows..from the inner to the outer and to all the rising souls..seeing the beautiful o the unity of the many truths..becoming one with the earth and the universe
becoming one with you.
"Special Moments Called Life" by R.E.Tansey
Think freely. Practice patience. Smile often. Savor Special Moments. Make new friends. Rediscover old ones. Tell those people that you love, that you do. Feel deeply. Forget trouble. Forgive an enemy. Hope. Grow. Be crazy. Count your blessings. Observe miracles. Let them happen. Discard worry. Give. Give in. Trust enough to take. Pick some flowers. Share them. Keep a promise. Look for rainbows. Gaze at stars. See beauty everywhere. Work hard. Be wise. Try to understand. Take time for people. Make time for yourself. Laugh heartily. Spread joy. Take a chance. Reach out. Let someone in. Try something new. Slow down. Be soft sometimes. Believe in yourself. Trust others.
Feel a sunrise. Smell the rain. Reminisce. Cry when you need to.
Trust life. Have faith. Enjoy wondering.
Comfort a friend. Have good ideas. Make mistakes. Learn from them.
Celebrate life!
"St. Theresa's Prayer"
May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to
sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.
Nelson Mandela's 1994 Inaugural Speech
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, goregous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel unsure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us - it is in everyone. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others!
"A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature
to stop speech when words become superfluous"
-Ingrid Bergman
I read once that the ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand
and that the Eskimos had a hundred words for snow.
I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes
to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep
and there are NO words for that.
-Brian Andreas
"A Lightworker's Prayer"
I ask that spirit walk with me this day And that I have the courage To carry this truth within me in all that I do. To full stand in my own truth And power is to honor the spirit within Help me today to re-member Both who I am and who I am not. Who I am is magnificent, Yet to carry a facade of who I am not Only detracts from that magnificence. To accept the truth of my own limitations, Clears the path to carrying my true power. I know that holding my power is only possible When I am not afraid of being vulnerable. This day I will balance my ego By checking it often And see my true motivations. I accept the power that is rightfully mine And will to use it to create Home on this side of the veil. I ask that I may allow spirit to emanate From me to all who choose to look upon me, That I may be a perfect mirror So that they may see the God within themselves Help me to touch their hearts With my love And allow them to re-member Home and who they really are As I re-member who I am. As spirit walks with me this day I remember to give thanks for the gift of spirit on my shoulder. May I always use it to the highest good of all concerned. I vow to enjoy this day to it's fullest and to laugh at every opportunity. This day I will play the wonderful Game And I will carry the vibrations of Home in every move on the Gameboard. This day I will Re-member. AMEN

Life In Abundance Comes Only Through Great Love
There is no force more potent than love. Take away love and your world is a tomb. Your life echoes emptiness without love. With it, your life will vibrate with warmth and meaning. Even during hardship, love will shine through.As you look back upon the events in your life you will find that the moments that stand out, the moments when you have really lived, are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love.If you have it, you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter what else you have.Therefore, search for love. Once you have learned to love,
you will have learned to live.
Love is the most important ingredient to your success.
Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don't have to know Einstein's Theory of Relativity to serve. You don't have to know the Second Theory of Thermal Dynamics in Physics to serve.
You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love,
and you can be that servant.
- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do."
-Helen Keller
"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple;
the philosophy is kindness."
-The Dalai Lama
THIS IS FOR G! : )
I can't make any promises about how long I'm leaving it up, g. she says I need to let everyone experience my inner child!
Just don't do anything that would make me call the feds on you.
