We are at the Lake House Retreat for “Grandparents’ Summer Camp with three Grandchildren, twins girls going into first grade and brother going into kindergarten. High energy, confidence and self esteemed all three. They are mightily loved, listened to and nurtured by all their care-givers. While they may be a lot to fully be with, the happy loving and expressive little people they are is a joy!
*Hope you join us here for a retreat for yourself alone or with loved ones.
You may be here with us as facilitators or on your own. Lots to do and you can use the beauty and silence to renew.
Are You the One?
When all is said and done, are you the One willing to do whatever it takes to bring Peace?
When no one else knows what to do, are you the One trying something helpful and new?
When the discussion is over and feeling are hurt, are you the One willing to make amends?
When no one cares and people are wronged, are you the One who will make things right?
It takes no pride and sometimes courage, to be the One who will bring the Love.
It requires your willingness with ego set aside to apologize to make things right.
It asks of you that you listen within, follow your heart, and find a new beginning.
To step into a situation where everyone is losing, invites us to make Peace the winner.
It takes just one to stop a fight.
It takes only one to make everything right.
It takes the one who says, I am sorry.
It takes only one who soothes the worries.
If you are willing, step up and speak out.
If you are willing, tell the truth of what you are about.
If you are willing, thank others for caring.
If you are willing, thank yourself for daring.
In the beginning, life asks us to learn.
When we are wiser, we begin to discern.
The way to live is to love and to care.
The way to be happy is to always share.
Your best Self is the best gift you can give.
Loving and laughing is a fun way to live.
When we want to enjoy each day with our friends,
Be the friend we want, no matter how it ends.
When I listen in my heart, I always know what to do.
When I speak from my mind, I don’t have a clue.
The Love inside will always be the best guide.
The mind in its defense will always make foes.
This rhyming??? reminder may not be well done.
But it certainly is true as I write it in fun.
When I live with Love as my guide.
I am at peace and happy and my life is safe and easy.
The speaker always speaks first about Self.
The writer writes the messages it must hear.
The messenger is only as credible as the integrity it gives
The One you are must find you Highest way to live.
Loving you as I remind us what is True!
