Eternal gratitude for the wonderful friends I have in my life. So much wisdom and life-affirming goodness I am lucky enough to experience. No cake required as a sweetener for my coffee today, the compassion, laughter and love was sweet enough...love life...X

There is no 'ordinary day' unless you design it that way...X

Every single day be inspired by some form of beauty that you may see or feel, perhaps even hear. For me, the beautiful blue skies, birdsong, the incredible cloud formations filled will hearts or faces, even the smile of an innocent child with dimples today whose grin, at that moment, was purely for me provided such overwhelming joy and inspiration. I look to life with passion, love and gratitude. It's all there for you if you look...x

Be fearless, be a star...X

Yes what I would say to you today is derived from the advice given to me by a dear friend recently. Be fearless. Do not allow others to undermine, devalue or dim the beautiful light that you have to offer to this world. Others may well project their insecurities onto you in their own battle with their self, this is not acceptable, let this be known. For in the very valid words of William Blake: "He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star." Be a star, bright and fearless. x

Love yourself because you are beautiful...X

May you Love yourself so purely that no one will ever have the ability to remove Love from your heart again x.

....think less, 'be' more and remember a beautiful new beginning waits beyond every closed door...x

Regardless of the situation, keep your heart open and love...........................................always...x  

Lost in 'The Lost World of the London Coffee House' by Dr Matthew Green... savoring every word...x

'Can you imagine walking into a Starbucks, sitting down next to a stranger, and asking for the latest news? or slamming a book of poetry next to someone's coffee, demanding to know their critical opinion, before delivering your own in a big booming voice?' p 1

Thanks Joe for this shot today X

This is the face of bewilderment, true bewilderment. You can love a person, support a person, care for a person, offer them kindness, lift them from their past demise and they can still deeply hurt you. Fact. Note to self, I will no longer try to heal broken individuals at my own expense.
