what hope is

I love these lines from Emily Dickinson. They remind of a song. Well, it is not surprising of course since Miss Dickinson is a lyrical poet.

The photo is an Alstroemeria flower with the petals still intact, making it appear like a graceful dancer.

embrace your blessings

Steve Maraboli sure knows  how to remind us to be true to ourselves. "Live your truth, express your love, share your enthusiasm,...embrace your blessings...." These are all so empowering and inspiring! Hopefully we take them to heart.

The photo is a lone coconut tree reaching up to the skies.

Sing joyfully to the Lord

It is indeed fitting to "sing joyfully to the Lord" as what these lines from Psalm 33 tells us.

The photo shows Camillian Sisters singing Christmas carols to us.

Dance like nobody's watching

I like the exuberance of these lines from William W. Purkey. They are so full of energy and lightness. When I read them, I felt like dancing and singing myself!

The photo is an orange mum that looks like it's a ballerina having the time of her life. I processed it with gradients to give it a dreamy effect.
