Praise Spring

"The more you praise and celebrate your life,
the more there is in life to celebrate."
- Oprah Winfrey
There are so many places on earth to practice the art of finding joy... walk into a shop where unseen hands have created a spring fest for the eyes (look how the tulips bend as if in prayer, and the books just wait to be discovered); listen for the cheerfulness packaged in a child's laughter; step your foot on the softened ground that is saying good bye to a tired winter and hello to a new-born crocus; stop for a moment to praise the love the finds its way into your life in all forms... perhaps today you will practice more praise and celebration in your life... and will find it bloom for you in ways you never imagined.

I have loved this saying for a very long time and never have I known a better time than now to see these words in action. Your blog is a true example of what lies within you and it has been dormant too long!
With all that the world stuggles with right now we, throughout the world, deserve your wisdom of words, grace of sight and beam of light.
Thank you for giving my dawn a lift upward and invading my hopes and dreams with inspiration. Xoxo
