Daily Awareness: There is no time like the present....

Daily Awareness: There is no time like the present....: "There is no time like the present to right a wrong
No time like the present to forgive yourself or another
No time like the present to love as if today is the last
No time like the present to extend the hand of friendship asking nothing in return
No time like the present to simply give to another
No time like the present to be there to hear another in their time of despair, time of fear, time of confusion

There is no time like the present to simply love for the sake of love
A love that expects nothing in return
A love that is purely from the space of the heart

When you are lonely be a friend
When you are hungry find someone to feed
When you are fearful find someone to console

It is in the ability to get outside of our own needs we are able to find the greatest comfort, love and meaning.

Drop the Excuses - Your Daily Cup of Inspiration!

Drop the Excuses - Your Daily Cup of Inspiration!: "Are all four-year-olds as dramatic as mine? Likely, mothers of young ones will each emphatically say yes and share their own funny stories. Well, lately, little Kaleb has adopted a new habit to add to all the other entertaining and quirky things he routinely does.
Initially, he'll be playing, jumping, and laughing with his sisters and brother; but whenever time comes to pick up his toys or do anything he deems unpleasant, Kaleb suddenly becomes 'lame' and incapacitated. 'I can't walk,' he'll say, with a look of agony on his face, while whimpering and developing a limp out of the blue. Somehow, it never seems to occur to Kaleb that, while he's walking, albeit with an extremely poorly portrayed limp, he's doing the very thing he's claiming he cannot do.

The other day, when I sent him to collect his matchbox cars after strewing them all over the floor, he told me all abut how he was unable to do it, because of his new emergency medical condition called leg failure."

GROW Africa: "WOW...A day without a shower

I am on a trip in NYC at a seminar this weekend. I am staying in Soho and the trip has been amazing, well, until yesterday. Our hotel was doing routine maintenance that caused the water to be shut off from midnight to 5am. Unfortunately, when I needed a shower at 6am, the maintenance was not finished and I was without any running water."
