Could you sprinkle a decent bit of water over Carmine, Texas and keep my friend Deb, her honey and Heritage Haus safe? Thanks a lot.

Joy isn't something you get in a bottle or swallow in pill form. It starts with a whisper "yes" from your heart,  moves to pull the edges of your mouth into a smile and just dances outward from there.  It's something you find inside and cultivate. a feeling of lightness and contentment. You might notice the feeling of awe and delight in the roar of the waves  or in a child's shy smile. Because joy is something you create  from your willingness to notice the world around you and be touched by the smallest things, you never have to be apart from JOY.

An unexpected surprise outside the bank. And saw a marvelous film today with my "Filmme Fatales" group, the latest in the Tuesday Film Series called Queen to Play. It got mixed reviews in the press, but my group loved it.

Sometimes I've been lucky enough to find a little oasis of serenity in a world that seems a little mad from time to time. Postcards from Paradise .

You are designed to reinvent and re-create yourself,  over and over again. And, you are here --  whether you want to acknowledge it or not,  whether you even know it or not --  for the evolution of your own soul.              -  Debbie Ford
