Happiness is like a butterfly.  The more you chase it,
the more it will elude you.
        But if you turn your attention to other things, it comes and sits softly on your shoulder."

When we pass this plane I feel we won't be asked how much we aquired or what we accomplished but how much did you LOVE, how often did you LOVE, how deeply did you LOVE? Remember that no relationship is a failure, relationships are sacred ground for learning and growing. and most importantly - HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE YOURSELF?

YOU ARE WORTHY ~ YOU DO MATTER ~ YOU DO COUNT!! ~ LOVE YOURSELF!:)

I love you! (do you?)
Lori

From Angel Fingerprints by Sharon Warren:

This is a little book of about 200 inspirations that I often carry with
me - like a little gift book - where ever you open it up, something
inspirational will flow out to you .... often times just the right
thing. Always remember - YOU ARE LOVE! To BECOME Love, is one of the highest purposes of life.

Here are some quotes:

I will find happiness when I give to others what I most want for myself
.... love, acceptance, peace, tolerance, freedom.

God is my center. I accept what it. I am love.

A heart that is truly open gives love to all and receives love from all.

Trust him ... love him ... be strong and independent. Ask nothing of him
... give him all the love you feel in your heart. That is your reward to
give love.

Let the heavens dance between us for that is the silence which allows
the notes of our song to be heart.

God is. I am. Let go. So it is.

Nothing on this earthly plane can separate what God has joined together in LOVE.

I savor the memories of yesterday and live in the now of my existence.

True, pure, unconditional love never dies.

Let me hold you in my heart, my soul, and in my dreams ... experiencing
you in my mind. For loving you has given me the power to know who I
really am.

Safely surrounded by the peace of his tender love, I drift in a sea of
warm, velvet sound of a summer breeze.

Great Spirit, grant that our hearts may always be young and our dreams may last forever.

From Soul Love by Sanaya Roman:

Awakening your heart centers (head, heart and solar plexus)

You blend your heart center's jewel with your soul's jewel. Light from
your heart center moves up to your head center. You know the serenity
and oneness of love. Your soul activates a hidden point of light in your
solar plexus center. You know your soul's will to love. You raise solar
plexus energy into your heart center and surrender to love. Light
circulates among your heart centers. You love as your soul.

Know that love is the most powerful energy in the Universe.

Be love. Bring love to an ever growing circle of LIFE!

Magnetize love and all good things to yourself!

Amplify love to increase it.

Feel the serenity of love when you accept and allow.

Love yourself and others unconditionally.

Today is the first day of a new life of love!!

Here is a fun site, if you want to take a poem someone wrote and send it as an e mail card:)

Remember that June 8 is Best Friends Day! Honor that person in your life and better yet, honor yourself as your best friend that you never lose - YOU!

Friendship is Forever..
                 Friends can last forever,
                 always to be there,
                 They give a little friendship,
                 and show you that they care.
                 You gave me strength,
                 when I was down,
                 Lighted up smiles,
                 where once was a frown,
                 Confidence was given,
                 and acceptance was gained,
                 You were a sunny spot,
                 whenever it rained,
                 You made me laugh,
                 in good times and bad,
                 You shouldered the tears,
                 when I was sad,
                 Friends are important,
                 not just for being there,
                 But for feelings they bring you,
                 the feelings they care.

                      -Poem by Karen Milligan-Vata

                         Friendship Eternal

                 The moon rises slowly
                 out of the effervescent night,
                 its luminescent rays
                 seep carefully to the earth.

                 Below this holy shrine
                 we sway to and fro
                 In our small life boat
                 on a vast ocean of reality.

                 We cling to the image of hope,
                 a distant dream of rescue.
                 Yet we have no oars, paddles or anchor
                 to draw our raft of uncertainty ashore.

                 Our only security is each other
                 as we evade sharks of fear
                 and frothy waves of pain;
                 we are strong through our helplessness.

                 We struggle through every storm of confusion
                 though we know the moon will return
                 And once again shed the light of assurance
                 that our friendship can endure all things.

                 -Poem by Mary Helen Bridge

Just imagine ..... an inner garden ... you can embrace ...
filled with happiness ... laughter ... inspiration ....
and a little mischief, laughter and fun so as not to be too boring!:)
...
Laughter is healing to the heart and to the soul. ENJOY!

Imagine a Place where the wells of joy never run dry ...
and the child within is always safe and loved ...
Remember to view life through the innocent eyes of a child ....
the ever imaginative and creative child within your heart!:)
Its all within your heart!

Heaven is found within the heart when one allows life to be seen .... in this way:)
Remember to smile and share joy with others:)
when adult life becomes stressful, stop and breathe ...
relax and remember ...
to laugh and let yourself be silly just as kids do .... they are
teachers too!

Life is too short to be all serious ....
Take time to smell the roses and enjoy the view along the way ...
rather than making a living ..... live life in the making & let that
giggle out!!:)
Love life and live love.

Just imagine .... and have patience .... open your heart to life ...
Be a kid at heart - and never quite grow up!:)
Life is a journey of discovery that never ends:)

I have a little sign on my desk that says ...
Patience ... have patience with me ...I'm still growing up!:)

love and hugs to you!
Lori

THE DIAMOND WITHIN

From Daephrenocles (My Angel) (Within each one of us, is the potential - for
the "Diamond In the Rough" to become a Polished Gem!)

Beloved ones!
Within each heart exists the light - the radiance of love, that is god;
that is the light of the one - the one of many names,many cultures, many languages and appearances upon the planet earth. Yet all are one for you are one with god and god is one with you.

There is only one light of many expressions, that flows not only through and around the planet earth, but also through endless galaxies, solar systems and dimensions within dimensions. Galaxies within galaxies, and solar systems within solar systems that are even beyond your knowing, awareness or comprehension. Yet as the ship disappears out of sight, past the horizon the the Ocean, does it not continue to exist? God hath created the waters of emotions, the waters that carry the ships of expression in each moment. Yet does not the waters of the ocean touch the ship simultaneously at the same time the ship is touching the waters?

Always the ship and the waters are connected one and traveling upon
their journey together.
You see? The Divinity, the waters of emotion Clear Lake of your soul
being - is that which you have always been, and are now. Look within your soul, when the waters of your emotions are calm - go within into the great silence, through which floweth your divinity and you shall see yourself. Every diamond upon the earth, at sometime appeared in roughform. Yet through love through consciousness lifted
high, through the light of God that hath limitless forms of expression, the diamond becomes more smooth and the facets that are many, and many faceted within themselves, begin to shine through.

The light radiates as a clear, pure, humble vessel - an instrument to
radiate the love of god that can soothe and assist others upon their journey as you are called upon to do - never imposing, but always loving. Love knoweth its own way and the time and
place upon where it is needed. You need not know - simply radiate love as God calls upon you to do. The greatest masters are always humble, and grateful, having not the need to draw attention to themselves - but to walk the earth and to share love.

To help "other diamonds" to grow with love, caring, sharing and
help - with compassion and empathy, forgiveness and allowing the soul to shine through to the many. Great ones may come in disguise and you may know not, that you are entertaining Angels. Therefore, have love and non judgement, for all - one who appears to be homeless, might not be homeless at all, but a great one in disguise. Offer the love and the waters of blessing and emotion within your heart.

With the light, that lifts consciousness to great heights, I AM
Daephrenocles.

Through Lori Jean Flory
