I love the magic of the Christmas season ...walking seeing all the twinkling lights, the beautiful trees, the warm feelings of knowing what a special time it is for us celebrating with family and friends, some are here among us, others are only memories now, but you feel their presence around you especially at this time. Isn't it wonderful to sing Christmas songs your parents, grandparents, great grandparents and ancestors sang, you share that even in death... Christmas time is traditions, beauty, peace and love, a gift given through Christ's life... long ago. Not a made up story, a real story. A story to enrich our lives, one of hope, faith, love, joy, peace and the gift of family and friends. Christ came to teach us how to live by his birth and death, how to live peacefully in a world of violence. God could not understand why people lived in hate so he sent an example to teach. Living in a world where violence is coming strong again, hold fast to the Christmas story and the hopes for a better world, one of peace. We are without God in many areas, so stand strong in your faith, living in joy and harmony in all your dealings with others, don't let the hate and violence take your joy and the beauty of this magical season away. God created hope through Christ's birth and message. Light overpowers darkness. It warms my heart to see everyone' s family's and friendships and the love shared...We all long for peace and goodness in our lives. Christmas starts December 24th for 12 days! I am wishing all my family and friends a beautiful, joyous season, one of hope for a better world that starts with us, the gift of the message the baby in the manger gave us long ago..... Wanted to take the time to wish you all a magical, peaceful and beautiful CHRISTMAS season~ Keep following that North Star, you will never get lost in any nation! Oh hear the Angels sing! Many blessings! © Diane Masi December 14th 2015

Life is wonderful, beautiful, surprising and precious! Don't you love being surrounded by all God gives you in this magnificent gift of life, no matter how great or small. Don't you love being surrounded by those who bring joy, those who uplift, show kindness, goodness and bring laughter? We need to keep ourselves in constant Faith, we must choose to relish the good and learn from what is not. Cherish moments, they pass quickly in our short time here. I love to inspire others to know beauty and bring peace to their heart, soul and world. Faith is powerful and the greatest source we have! Sing more, dance more, love more, hug more, read lots, bake, cook, drink tea, make your favorite coffee, relish friendships. What wonder there is in the simple small things. Appreciate your family, give your parents and children all your love, treat your animals like family too! Hold tight to Faith, Hope and Love..........Be grateful what you have...........big or small. Show kindness, respect yourself and others and value your tree of life giving moments~ Hope everyone is having a WONDERFUL week! ©Diane Masi 2015

-Heaven Knows~At 4:20 am this morning.We lost our sister Kathy. Quickly diagnosed with a rapid cancer 4 weeks and 1 day ago, she lost the battle. God granted us 4 extra weeks to spend with her after her sudden discovery of a brain tumor, the removal was done, but it was throughout her body.... Kathy was scared, but we all surrounded her with love. Heaven has a new Angel ~Our older sister Kathy Will sadly be missed, but in a better place and Kathy went peacefully.~When I was 18 and the summer I graduated High school My sister Kathy took me to NYC to go to a hair show........while in the city we ripped up every Disco there all night long! Especially at Roseland. Those were better Days for Kathy, I will never forget those happier times............Ironically Kathy loved this song, we loved Donna Summer. For Kathy. I love you Big Sister~ Diane

At the end of the day all that matters is what we put in to the hours we had in the day. Do we feel fulfilled knowing that we did our best? Did we give our all at work? Did you complain when others are not employed? Did we help another feel better about themselves? Did we uplift someones spirit? Especially those whose lives are much harder or those who are experiencing harder things in life other than trivial problems. Were we kind to others? Were you not so hard on yourself, and do you give yourself a break? We all look forward to those rare moments when we get home to enjoy all we work for, and when it comes with the fulfillment that you gave 100% to the moments given in the day it feels great. No matter how difficult life is, being an everyday hero is about doing what must be done, when it needs done, no matter how difficult. We are all everyday heroes........ Hope all have a good weekend..... and remember it's the now the counts. #Faith #Hope #Love Diane Masi August 28th 2015

“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.”~Mother Teresa

The Last Time From the moment you hold your baby in your arms, you will never be the same. You might long for the person you were before, When you have freedom and time, And nothing in particular to worry about. You will know tiredness like you never knew it before, And days will run into days that are exactly the same, Full of feedings and burping, Nappy changes and crying, Whining and fighting, Naps or a lack of naps, It might seem like a never-ending cycle. But don’t forget … There is a last time for everything. There will come a time when you will feed your baby for the very last time. They will fall asleep on you after a long day And it will be the last time you ever hold your sleeping child. One day you will carry them on your hip then set them down, And never pick them up that way again. You will scrub their hair in the bath one night And from that day on they will want to bathe alone. They will hold your hand to cross the road, Then never reach for it again. They will creep into your room at midnight for cuddles, And it will be the last night you ever wake to this. One afternoon you will sing “the wheels on the bus” and do all the actions, Then never sing them that song again. They will kiss you goodbye at the school gate, The next day they will ask to walk to the gate alone. You will read a final bedtime story and wipe your last dirty face. They will run to you with arms raised for the very last time. The thing is, you won’t even know it’s the last time Until there are no more times. And even then, it will take you a while to realize. So while you are living in these times, remember there are only so many of them and when they are gone, you will yearn for just one more day of them. For one last time. -Author Unknown-

One of the worst things you can do is to listen to destructive words that destroy your peace and sense of being........You can tell the difference between an encouraging constructive soul, and a destructive soul, that is one seeking power over you for their own gratification.....Never loose your sense of self to destructive people .........listen to your gut......... seek what is in your heart, you will know the difference!

You’ll know you’ve made the right decision when there is PEACE in your heart. Stop listening to what the world says you should do. Start listening to your own heart. There are only a few people in this world who will stay completely true to you, and you should be one of them. Listen to your own voice, your own soul, too many people listen to the noise of the world, instead of themselves. Deep inside, you know what you want, let no one decide that for you.~ Unknown
June 29, 2011 " I think for me success has come in many ways by doing 100% of what my internal gut told me was the right road and giving it my all....never looking back, no regrets. I think in my failures, I chose to be weakened and was too tired to listen to the inner gut. I choose going forward, to stay with my passions, listen to the whispers of my soul, to continue with my love, dreams and to keep just knowing what is right in life, to succeed in every area."

I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did but people will never forget how you made them feel. — Maya Angelou
