Brought a Tear to my Eyes.....................

I was fortunate enough to stumble upon this poem, written by an anonymous 80 year old lady. Her words touched my soul and brought a tear to my eyes. She sounds like a special person. She sounds like a kindred spirit. Please read her poem I've placed here. I hope it enriches your reality as it has mine..............................Mayaxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

I'd Pick More Daisies

By 80 yr old Woman

A Reflection on Her Life

If I had my life to live over,

I’d dare to make more mistakes next time.

I’d relax. I would limber up.

I would be sillier than I have been this trip.

I know of very few things I would take seriously.
I would laugh more and cry less,

I would be crazier.

I would worry less about what others thought about me,

and would accept myself as I am.
I would take more chances.

I would take more trips.

I would climb more mountains,

swim more rivers,

and watch more sunsets.

I would eat more ice cream and less beans.

I would watch less TV and have more picnics.

I would perhaps have more actual troubles,

And very few imaginary ones.

I would feel only sad, not depressed.

I would be concerned, not anxious.

I would be annoyed, not angry.
I would regret my mistakes, but not feel guilty about them.

I would tell more people that I like them.

I would touch my friends.

I would forgive others for being human,

And I would hold no grudges.
I would play with more children and listen more to old people.

I would go after what I wanted without believing I needed it,

And I wouldn’t place such great value on money.

You see, I’m one of those people who lives cautiously

And sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day.

Oh, I’ve had my moments and if I had it to do over again,

I’d have more of them.

In fact I’d try to have nothing else. Just moments,

One after another, instead of living so many years Ahead of each day.
I’ve been one of those people who never Goes anywhere without a thermometer,

A gargle, a raincoat, and a parachute.

If I had to do it again, I would go places and do things

And travel lighter than I have.

I would plant more seeds and make the world more beautiful.

I would express my feelings of love without fear.
If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the Spring

And stay that way later in the Autumn.

I would go to more dances.

I would ride more merry-go-rounds.
I would pick more daisies and I would smile, because I would be "living free".

Wish Apon A Star..................

When you wish apon a star, makes no difference who you are, everything your heart desires will come to you..................

When we believe, all things are possible. I believe with all my heart and soul. I believe in Love. I believe in Magic. I believe the goddess above is watching over me and my loved ones and is always there beside me to guide me and comfort me. I know now more than ever that the first step to enpowering yourself is to find faith and start believing. Find your own faith, your own path. Don't let anyone or anything sway you from your path. Listen to your heart and soul. Stop and listen................and watch for the amazing changes that will happen in your life.

................when you wish apon a star your dreams come true.

Nurse Nice......

Nurse Nice,

I dedicate this blog to a co worker of mine. Her name is Joan. She has nursed many patients in their homes for years and now her health is failing and she must retire. She is an inspiration of the human spirit to me. One of the most selfless people I have ever met in my life. She is one of those people who always come into a room and try to spread around a little happiness. She is always concerned for her patients and of course, her peers. I received a call today from her, she sounded aweful. She has been off for a few days with a terrible chest infection. She didn't sound like her bubbly self. She told me she was so worried about her patients that she would not be able to see in their homes . She explained that she was having some serious heart problems and would need to retire effective immediately. She sounded so depressed. All she kept doing was expressing her concern for those she would not be able to help anymore. She even told me that she was worried that she would not be able to get any christmas shopping done if she got worse, so she was doing it all now and dropping her gifts off to her family, friends, peers, and former patients in the next couple weeks. She is so special and giving it almost breaks my heart. Her and her husband are not wealthy by any means, but she gives everything to everyone, even her heart. I told her to put her energy into getting her health back, and I hope for once she does take this time to heal herself. I know I will be asking the goddess to bless her and help her heal. She deserves such happiness. Namaste Joan.........xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoYour friend always, Maya xoxoxoxoxoxox(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Joan))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Sweet Dreams......

The days are getting shorter....It seems like the nighttime darkness takes over so early now. I feel myself wanting to sleep and sleep. I feel my anxiety creeping up inside of me as its almost time for the battle to begin.....SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). I wish I didnt have to slay this dragon year after year. It exhausts me. It frightens me knowing it could come apon me at any time soon now....So I've made a decision this year. I am welcoming the darkness. I am going to try to surrender to it and enjoy what it has to offer. I'll read, meditate , practice my yoga, socialize and concentrate on my new career. I'll sit in the darkness by the flicker of candlelight and give thanks to the goddess for all I am blessed with. I will dream about the future.....I will love those around me..................I will overcome this!!

Enough is Enough I say to this dragon of mine!!
I welcome your presence!!

Namaste,
Maya xoxo

Why.......

Sometimes I just ask myself why? It seems that whenever I'm in the midst of making a life altering change, I am given the challenge of overcoming something else. This week I have been as sick as a dog (bye the way, where did that expression ever originate from, LOL). I'm in the process of trying to prepare myself for a career change and dealing with a burning fever, sore throat, body aches, you name it. If I had a gun I'd shoot myself (just kidding!!).

Seriously though, why, why, why???? I have faith in the great mother that she has a plan for me, but seriously, can we make this just a little easier? Please? I can feel that things around me are all coming together but it's very difficult when you are feeling your worst. Oh well, at least I havn't lost my sense of humour, or my faith in her....

Maya xoxo

Keep the faith......

She answers in mysterious ways and in her own natural time.

Once again she has answered my prayers and sent me a sign that I am indeed on my right path. Once again she amazes me....Great Mother of All....Goddess of Love and Light. I Honour and Thank You for all your loving gifts you bring to my life.

Namaste
