* PMA = positive mental attitude
** NSFW due to language

Determined to succeed

Whatever the mind can conceive
and believe
the mind can achieve

Regardless
of how many times
you have failed in the past

or how lofty
your aims and hopes
may be

Just go out
and get it!

You know you the best
you gotta keep doing it

But don’t forget when you do
just keep YOU in it

(NSFW due to language)

Keep Shining

This little light
of mine

I’m gonna
let it shine

You can have

All my shine

I’ll give you a
Light

Let me be
Your everlasting light

Let in the light

Let it in

We can
Light up the night

Remember:

A candle loses nothing
by lighting another candle

We just fill the world with more

Light

Recipe for Peace

Gotta have
Faith

all you need
is the size of a
mustard seed

Begin to
build
Peace

little by little

it will grow in time
like the start of this song

so have patience, grasshopper

In the meantime
please remember

just this thimble of advice

Things are what you make of them!

Satisfaction in the sun

getting satisfaction
in the sun
under a smurf blue sky

thinkin’ ’bout how
it really is
now or never

look at the newer me
fate pursuing me

i can feel the energy in the air
it feel like i’m supposed to be here

because i am,
as are you!

Getting Real in the Rain

IMG_3279

I always dreaded our rain walks

But today the sun is bright
And the spattering of rain
Falling on my face

Is not a nuisance
As it once was

But instead
Makes me feel

REAL
