Come Thou Fount - Paul Cardall



Psalm 91: Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”


Whenever we need an answer it is there. No matter what the situation, our higher self knows exactly what is best for us. The spirit within is there for us, always. We just have to acknowledge it, praise it, thank it, and know everything is all right now.

“ The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious of the rose. ” Kahlil Gibran (1883–1931)

Each of us brings to the world unique talents, gifts and abilities. No one can do what you do exactly the way you do it. Even if you don't know what it is, or value what you do, someone, somewhere, will benefit from your presence.~

It's not who you know - it's who knows you~ Brian Gordon "A connection who isn't interested in connecting beyond hitting the 'accept as friend' button is not adding any business value to a network. As professionals though, it is important to know who is in your network and who you can turn to for advice. In short, it is necessary to identify who knows you. Mr. Gordon also notes that, just as in the days before Facebook, to build a real relationship, you will have to take the connection offline.

“The only way to get what you really want is to let go of what you don't want.” ― Iyanla Vanzant


My Pup Pooh! Best thing!

If people and events can determine your happiness, they can determine your unhappiness. Determine your own happiness, and people and events will take care of themselves.
