{quotes}
Truth
Every truth passes through three stages before it is recognized. In the first, it is ridiculed. In the second, it is opposed. In the third, it is regarded as self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer
Dreams
Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you.
Marsha Norman
Imagined
What was now proved was only once imagined.
William Blake
Goodness
We don’t need greatness. We need goodness — those small acts of kindness that make another human being feel acknowledged.
Tara D. Sonenshine
Stand Firm
In matters of style, swim with the current. In matters of principle, stand like a rock.
Thomas Jefferson
{prayers}
Be Still My Critic
Dear God, still this inner critic who stifles my imagination, dulls my desire, and discourages me daily. I pray to be filled only with Your spirit of confidence, love of self, and faith. Blessed are You, who hears my prayers.
God Made It
God made water. Cry. Cleanse. Flow. Let go. God brought on fire. Burn. Tame. Adapt. Ignite. God gave us air. Observe. Breath. Focus. Decide. God created earth. Ground. Build. Produce. Give. God is within. Connect. Listen. Know. Be still.
Overjoyed!
Dear God, I am overjoyed knowing You go before me to guide, protect, and lead me to peace and prosperity.
Daily Habits
Praise to You, Holy Father, Almighty King. Thank You for daily habits, a sun that rises, and a moon to usher in the night. Blessed is rest and restoration. Blessed is my life.
Life is Good
O Lord, I am richly blessed, and it all comes from You. My faith sustains me, and You engage me. Thank You for the people I love, the work that I do, the fun that I enjoy. Life is good.
{bible}
Think before you speak, and be careful about what you say to God. God is in heaven, and you are on the earth, so say only a few words to God.

To you, O Lord, I call
Joel 1:19
Your inner nature is being renewed every day.

{blessings}
Consequences
Unintended consequences…are still consequences. May God bless you to deal calmly with any happenstance that comes your way today.
Take a Chance
Certainty is for suckers. Take chances, go toward the unknown, the untested, the interesting. May God bless you to lead with desire.
Strength
Exercise daily, and find strength in the Lord. May you be blessed with good health, both physically and spiritually.
What Money Can’t Buy
You’re not rich until you have something money can’t buy. May the good Lord bless you with the wealth of good health, loved ones, peace, and contentment.
Wait for It
Pray, trust, and wait for God’s blessings.
