@shoelady60,

Good evening I am planning a party 🎉 for Loaf. I will start with you. 😎✨

Sorry about all the snow we are just chilly here in OZ.

@taci,

I hope you feel better tomorrow I have had some sniffles off and on with a headache.

This is California Style. 😎✨I will be on the look out for a review.

Sheba, Hello! Happy Friday to all and hope you’re having fun in the arcade.
Love the look of the DG2 Diane Gilman Virtual Stretch Pieced Trim Denim Jacket
787-849. Does anyone have this jacket? Any info on sizing? It’s not mentioned in the entire video, so I will probably hold off to avoid a return.

Planted two tomato plants, 1 red pepper plant, an oregano, and strawberry. If they do ok then I will add to it. Not 100 percent well yet but I hiked a good long hike on my own, got a tad lost and had to back track up a ways to cross over to the correct way, and it was kind of fun.

Winter just won’t leave here, we’ve had snow squalls on and off all day.🌨 It felt like I was in a blizzard coming home from mom’s. Hope our weather changes soon or I won’t be planting until June.😮

Today we went shopping for an Easter decoration for mom’s door. She has flower wreaths but wanted something with a bunny or eggs.🐰 Very little to choose from around here. We found a felt bunny basket at one place and a pretty long bow with pastel eggs so we improvised and looks good. She could open a museum with all her decorations.

Have a good evening, hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💕

Happy April !!!😀😀😀😀 it is cloudy on the Gulf coast. We had a little bit of rain this morning More expected tonight and tomorrow. Looks like xango had the storms. I think Jacksonville had some extreme weather. There was a tornado yesterday. We just had wind. For some reason the sinus problem seems to be dissipating.

Tonight is trivia. This week just flew by. We never made it to Sam’s. Maybe either today or tomorrow. Just need a couple of items. Our Farmer’s Market has some wild caught fish on sale. Looks like tomorrow will be the day to go. Still have not heard about the stress test. Then again our landline has been out of order since last night. Must be the wind and rain. Will make a call to the cardiologist on Monday. For some reason they close early on Friday. See ya later.

Letting Your Light Shine

When we undermine our light by hiding our aptitudes and quashing our dreams, we deny ourselves and others a wealth of experiences.

We are each born into this world with unique gifts. Within us is a glimmer of the divine, a light that can potentially make the world a more beautiful place. But in many, that light lies dormant, snuffed out by fears and feelings of inadequacy. To spark it is to attract attention, face the possibility of rejection or the responsibility of success, and risk being labeled immodest. Yet when we undermine the light by hiding our aptitudes and quashing our dreams, we deny ourselves and others a wealth of experiences. Your abilities are a part of who you are and when you take pride in them, you affirm the love, esteem, and trust with which you view yourself. Moreover, as you express the light within, you grant others permission to do the same, freeing them to explore their own talents.

For some, we are taught to hide our light from the world since childhood. Relatives caution us that the professions associated with our aptitudes are unattainable. Our peers may be envious of our skills and thus overly critical of the activities we instinctively enjoy. And authority figures admonish us to be humble and avoid showing off. But there is a vast chasm that separates those who let their light shine and those who seek only to draw attention to themselves. When you dare to share your light with the world, the beauty and perfection of your soul become clearly visible. You become a whole being — the literal embodiment of your vast potential. Whether you are a wonderful dancer, a first-rate cook, quick with numbers, or a natural negotiator, you’ll come to understand that you do the world no favors when you hold yourself back.

If you have hidden your light for so long that it has shrunk to an ember, make a list of everything you do well, however impractical, silly, or seemingly inconsequential. Then ask yourself how you can positively utilize those abilities in your daily life. The gifts you were born with were not granted to you arbitrarily. While you may never discover what impact your light has had on others, you can be certain that when you embrace your talents and share them with others, you will spread illumination in the world. AMEN! ✨✨
