I've been doing my "to do" lists ALL WRONG! 🙄

In a gentle way, you can shake the world! ~ Mahatma Gandhi Artwork by Catrin Welz-Stein

Why would you even try?

Women grow more radical with age. One day an army of gray-haired women may quietly take over the Earth! ~ Gloria Steinem

"The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance." Quotation: Alan Watts Image: Rob Gonsalves "Water Dancing"

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. ~Thich Nhat Hanh Artist: Daria Krasnova

Kindness makes the world softer, not by grand gestures, but through quiet acts that ripple outward. A smile, a listening ear, a hand offered without condition— these are the seeds we plant, and the beauty we grow. One heart at a time, kindness makes the world a better place. ☮️ ~ Art by Dawn Collins

Be a reflection of what you’d like to receive. If you want love, give love. If you want truth, be truthful. If you want respect, give respect. What you give out will return to you. ~ Kristen Butler

You weren't meant to carry it in the first place.

Life in itself is first a gift and thereafter it becomes our choice: Circumstances may not always be based on choice, but who I am, how I react, what I do... ...always my choice. By Grace, may I always choose gratefulness, gladness, kindness and joy!

To feel deeply is to live with passion; open to joy and vulnerable to pain and sorrow. The only defense against being wounded by life is to harden the heart. But then we close ourselves off from the experience of being fully alive. 💫

Compassion shook its head not able to understand how so many sufferers, in a world full of suffering, could be so cold to each other's pain. ~ Scott Stable

"...we are the sum of the influence and impact that we have, in our lives, on others."

You see We are All nothing but Stars Passing each other In the night.✨ A Poem by Athey Thompson

A hopeful heart is not naive. It is courageous enough to stay open in a world pulling us toward anger, division, and despair. Democracy survives when ordinary people keep caring for one another, keep telling the truth, and keep participating in life together. #proudblue #pinks

"I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream." ~ Vincent Van Gogh 💫

Walking. I am listening in a deeper way. Suddenly, all my ancestors are behind me. Be still, they say. Watch and listen. You are a result of the love of thousands. -- Linda Hogan Native American writer

“We are all equal spirits in skins made of ancient stardust, manifested in human form here on our home we call Earth; all on our unique respective journeys back to Source, helping each other along the way." Quotation- Ed Crowley

Art imitates life; life pauses to admire.

Watch carefully the magic that occurs when you give a person enough comfort to just be themselves. 💫

My wish for you....

One of the deepest longings of the human soul is to be seen.

A final comfort that is small but not cold: The heart is the only instrument that, although broken, still works.

Be brave: we grow wings when we do things that terrify us. 💪👵

You were born with a song in the seat of your soul; let the life that you live be the singing of it! 🎶

"Freedom is a state of mind.” ~ Walter Mosley

🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 And, somewhere Out there Just past the moon Is where They be And I wonder if Only in our dreams Shall we see them Only in our dreams Shall we be with them Only in our dreams Shall they, ever be Poem written by Athey Thompson Art by Iris Esther

Fortunate are those who perceive beauty in unassuming settings, overlooked by the majority. 💙

I couldn't possibly add anything more to this... 🥰

Time is a slippery thing: lose hold of it once, and its string might sail out of your hands forever. ~ Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See

Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.

You see We are all Nothing but stars Passing each other In the night✨

Breathe in courage, and breathe out fear. Then run onto the battlefield, and make your demons disappear.

Don't let your ice cream melt while you're counting someone else's sprinkles!

“When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.” ~ John Muir 🌍🌙✨🌊🌟

So VERY many of us!

Yes, it's AI but I can't even come up with the words to express how much this meme just tickled my fancy!

One must always be careful of books and what's inside them, for words have the power to change us.

Life is an echo. What you send out, comes back. What you sow, you reap. What you give, you get. What you see in others, exists in you. Remember, life is an echo. It always comes back to you. So give kindness.

People always complain that life doesn't come with an owner's manual. Turns out it does! All you gotta do is look! Who says you can't find EVERYTHING on the Infraweb? You're most welcome, my friends! 🤩
