There is a special blessing when you hear the truth of God's words from a child. I am so glad you stopped by and shared this remembrance. Thanks John!

I remember years ago my 8 year old looked up at me one particular day - when things were rough and apparently it was showing and said "God will make a way where there is no way" - what an uplifting moment and message - I try to keep that in mind.

I think we can learn so much about ourselves and each other through blogging, and here is a great example. Even though I know most of the participants already, I feel closer to each of you now. When we share our humanity we create strong bonds. Today that is an uplifting thought, and thanks to all of you I feel better than I did at the beginning of the day.

Exquisite. All of it, but this image particularly. A window. A very very good window. Hugs. “I turn my face toward the warmth as a deep, throaty laugh passes through my parched lips.”

You must also recognize your hand in this :-) For weeks I have been fighting with words, unable to bring forth thoughts but when I came to the page without apology, ah, well, breakthrough! Your coaching works wonders and I thank you for being a friend and mentor who always has just the right word. :-) Joanna, thank you so much for those words.

You are so right about self awareness. There are times that we must scream for a rope and other times when we must simply climb the one that is already there. All of your comments have really meant so much to me. I am truly blessed to have landed among you. Jeanne, your comment is filled with the wisdom and compassion of one who has lived life.

LOL! Yea, that angel can get pretty loud! I heard that same voice and I admit, it took me a bit to put on my big girl pants and quit being a whiny little brat. There are times when support is there and others when it's clear we are the ones who need to fix it. The great thing about journeys is that they have an end. :-) Barbara, huge hugs! LOL!

Thank you. I am glad you found a way to type through your discouragement. And that the 140 characters helped you find the way. I saw that quote the other day too and smiled at it. So so oftern I have heard on Twitter just what I needed to hear (see, feel, be reminded of). What I do when I feel discouraged... which is generally when I've allowed my inner critic to run totally rampant... is to go outside. Walk as mindfully as I can, and ask mother nature to teach me what I need to know. When I am quiet enough to hear... she tells me, always. .-= Joanna Young´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ConfidentWriting/~3/cJ7SYLPyutE/" rel="nofollow">10 Ways to Write Without Apology</a> =-.
