Always Love Your Parents. We are so busy growing up that we often forget they too are growing old.

May all of my family members and friends who need miracles be blessed. May whoever is feeling weak be given strength. May all of those who have heavy burdens have their load lightened.

A rose for my sister.


A rose to share if you have a sister or sisters that mean the world to you. If they are your best friend and you would do anything for them. This includes friends you class as your sister.

You have some amazing people in your life, so focus on them.

I know things will always get better.


I have felt pain. I have endured hardship, I have suffered loss of loved ones and I have memories I want to forget.

What defines Family?


Some people are not born into your family, they are forged over time and become part of your family. They have proven themselves as loyal, dependable, caring and have become so important to you that you can't imagine your life without them in it. They are the people in your life who accept you for who you are, support the choices you make and no matter what, are there for you. They are the people in your life who love you, respect you and who you can always depend on.

Who got your back?


You will always find out exactly who has your back
during the times when you back is against the wall.


Every parent wants the best for their children.


Every parent wants the best for their children and will give up so much to see that they get it.

The Family Tree.


Family. Like branches of a tree we will grow in many different directions, but our roots remain firmly in the ground, provide us with strong foundations and will keep us together forever.
I Love My Family.

A Mother is an amazing person.


A Mother is an amazing person. She gives life, she nurtures, she teaches, she cares. She is strong, she is vibrant, she is versatile. She is loyal, she is dedicated, she is diverse. A mother is by no means perfect and every mother makes mistakes. However, she learns as she goes and becomes stronger by the day. There is nobody more determined, there is nobody more committed and there is nobody more dependable than a mother.

A Confident Woman


I am strong. I've been through a lot in my life and I'm still standing. I have self worth. It took a lot of soul searching to finally see for myself. I am beautiful. I don't need anyone to tell me, I already know. I am not perfect. Nobody's perfect but I've seen my good and bad sides. I am just myself. I will never be alone, I will always be there for me.

Life will always be happier when you have balance.


Life will always be happier when you have balance. Be kind to other people but never let those people take advantage. Allow yourself to trust others but refuse to let others lie to you. Be thankful for what you have but always strive to better yourself.
~ by Dave Hedges

Spend time on those who love you.


Spend your time on those who love you unconditionally.
Don't waste it on those who only love you when the conditions
are right for them.

Nobody asks if you're OK.


The only down side to being a strong person is that nobody will ever think to ask you if you're OK. ~ by Dave Hedges

It's not all about you.


People need to learn that their actions do affect other people.
So be careful what you say and do, it's not all about you.

Every day is a new beginning.


Every day is a new beginning. Take a deep breath. Start again.

Better Days are Coming, Keep Faith, Stay Positive.

Be proud of the scars you have.


Scars, We all have them. Whether physical or emotional, visible
or not, they are there. Scars in life are good. They show you have been through life, overcome tough times and healed.
They show that you are now a stronger and wiser person and you never gave up. Be proud of the scars you have, because they are symbols of your true strength.

The strongest people.


The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of us, but those who win battles we know nothing about.

I hope something good happens for you today.


If you are reading this right now, I really hope

Stay true to yourself.


You don't need to go down the road that other people are following. Your own road will lead you to exactly where you're supposed to be going. Stay true to yourself.

My children are the greatest gift I could have ever hoped for.


I'm a proud parent. I may have given my children the gift of life, but my children were the greatest gift I could have ever hoped for in my life. I love my children.

Sometimes the better option is not to fight.


Sometimes the better option is not to fight, but just walk away and diffuse the situation. Sometimes the need for peace in your life is much greater than the need to be right.

Perhaps they are not stars...


“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”

You can pull through and move forward with your life.


No matter what you have been through in your life. No matter how hard it has been to deal with, you have overcome the sadness, the heartache, the tears and the pain. You have become stronger, tougher and although you will never forget those experiences, you now know that regardless of the situation you can pull through and move forward with your life. And that's a good thing.

Three things that people find hard to say


Three things that people find hard to say,
I love you, I'm sorry and I need help.

You were born to be real, not perfect.


You were born to be real, not perfect. You are here to be who you really are, not what others want you to be. Don't waste your time worrying about what others may think. Just be happy with who you are. Live YOUR life. ~ by Dave Hedges

Keep your feet on the ground and stay humble.


No matter how successful you are. No matter how big your house. No matter how new your car or how big your bank balance is, your grave will be the same size as everyone else's. So keep your feet firmly on the ground and stay humble.

What Home is all about..


Home is a place where you can be real. Where you can make mistakes and learn life lessons without being judged. Home is a place where people say sorry, people forgive and give each other second chances. Home is a place where you laugh, you can have fun and hugs are given when they're needed. Most of all, home is a place where love is unconditional.

The hard things in life...


There are things we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn and people we can't live without but have to let go. 
~ Jennifer Jareau

You won't always deserve what you get.


You won't always get what you deserve. You won't always deserve what you get. Most times, you have little choice in the matter. Being thankful and appreciating what you have however, is something you can choose to do. Choose to be happy.

Find out from the horse's mouth.


In life, we must always find out things straight from the horses mouth and not listen to the jackass spreading the gossip.

Keep your circle positive. Surround yourself with good people, do good for others and good will come your way. Karma.

I'll be honest with you and say it how it is.


If you want to know what I think then I will tell you. I'll be honest with you and say it how it is. Just don't be mad at me when it's not what you want to hear! ~ by Dave Hedges

Things to tell yourself each and every day.


Things to tell yourself each and every day.

I will be successful in whatever I do.
There is nothing beyond me. I choose to be positive.

The story of the $20 bill.


A speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill high in the air, waving it around. In the room of over 200 people he asked. “Who would like this $20 bill? Raise your hand if you would.”

Every day is a brand new canvas.


Every single day of our lives is a brand new canvas for us to work with. So, with this in mind, create a beautiful masterpiece.
