Let me take the time
To look into your soul
Into your window
Perhaps I will see
Your loneliness
Your fear
The emptiness of
Your life.
Let me help you
Find the answer
You need
To live in the fullness
And find joy and love.

The glimmers of light
are blooming.
The warmth of healing
is touching my skin.
A new day is dawning
for all to see.
A new day is dawning
for all to heal.
My wish for you is that you continue.
Continue to be who and how you are,
to astonish a mean world
with your acts of kindness.
Continue to allow humor to lighten
the burden of your tender heart.
◊
Wishing each one of you a wonderful weekend.

and reminding you
that you are loved,
you are held
by the Universe itself
by a force so deep
and strong
you cannot even
begin to comprehend.

I had a heart transplant in 2007. But I suppose I can’t really explain what my rebirth has been like until I told you what my “old” life was like to some degree.
Therefore, here is my story…

Life has ups and is a journey.
Life has downs and challenges us.
And with that, it is how we weather the storm
that allows us to come through strong as a rock.
Experiences that make us resilient,
builds character, gives us wisdom.
And we continue;
as life has ups
and life has downs.
