Your Inner Glow: Beyond Smiles and Mistakes

Do you feel like you’ve made too many mistakes, disappointed with the place you keep finding yourself? We’ve all been there, questioning so many decisions. Let me say this, look deep within and you will surely see — there’s a luminous light. Your own proverbial inner glow, what nothing could ever eclipse. It doesn’t matter what anyone else perceives; just that of your worth you do wholeheartedly believe. You don’t have to be always smiling, or feel you need to get it right every time, to be the best version of yourself. Even if some days your light seems a bit dim, love will always be the evidence — your heart inherently has such a beautiful reflection. Rest with that for a moment. Don’t wrestle with what others see, delight in what their eyes could never fathom; the crimson beauty that makes your heart — uniquely You.

Pursuit of Fullness: Its Wholeness and Meaning

In the pursuit of fullness, where your heart encounters the best of life’s happiness. Moments that deeply fill, those moments that profoundly thrill. Every day, pursuing moments that allow love to meaningfully spill. Opportunities that define, fullness purposefully seeking to daily refine, that allow your inner light the opportunity to incandescently shine — wholeheartedly transform. Takes only willingness to participate, love’s sublime breadth to elevate. Fullness is wholeness of being, complete by its excellence of meaning. Love filled by its capacity, its richness served by the depth of its veracity. It doesn’t adhere to a meaningless complexity; it moves beyond a peripheral state of textuality, strives unapologetically contextual. Fullness doesn’t beg to be deep, but begs to differ, being more than meaninglessly shallow. Fullness is an endless pursuit, a heartfelt desire that doesn’t breathlessly chase… after what leads, to a fruitless betrayal of its purpose.

Groovy Kind of Love

Dearest Joy, DJ, spin my heart and soul with the ones and twos — sway my soul with your funky beat, let my heart recite love’s deeply moving verse — Friday’s dance party vibe. Dim sum — sweet love, dim all the lights. Tonight you and I will rock away, slow dance endless love’s way. DJ, let the music play, all night long; the depths of your rhythm is so groovy, rings true with its beautiful sound. Resistance is futile, when deep down your heart knows, the rhythm is going to get you. DJ, you have my heart captured by the flow, love smiling its ornate glow. Love has me by the heart, whispered to my soul we are bound forever. My soul’s mate, the love within my heart grooving the soul train’s medley. Oh me, oh my — DJ, play that funky music. Keep it coming love, dance with me. Every heartbeat is your dancing, dancing, dancing machine. Love, your groove just won’t let my heart catch its breath. DJ, my heart is jamming, the love still bubbling. Dearest Joy, upside down you’re turning me. Heart and soul now deeply knows, I never knew love like this before!

Love’s Anthem: Heart Check One, Two 

Let love speak loud, let it be crystal clear; let its anthem rhythmically flip the script. Whenever love drops its heartfelt rhyme, it’s not an ordinary microphone; it’s another magic moment. Mic check one, two. When love leans in, tap on its heart, give it a little feedback; does it resonate, does the love speak volumes? Does it seem another plug, or deep love plugged into the right power source, giving you the best of its heart? True love doesn’t rely on the right sound quality, to reverberate effortless. Amped up verbs, might echo the sound of music, but if its intentions are not truly instrumental, how could it ever be profound? Real love has certain kind of richness, permeating its truth endless, love’s clarity experienced HD surround. Love, the heart’s finely tuned instrument, deeply felt sound waves converted; its good variation, its sweet sensation. Hearts around the world, turn up the bass. Let love speak true, its beauty seep through. Every stage of life, let love step up to the mic — heart check one, two.

Song Inspired: When You Believe

Love’s Unchained Melody

Dearest love, you are the heart of what my soul believes. The Greatest Love of All, has no bounds. Deepest verse of a note-filled lyric, the song playing in the depth of this heartfelt melody. Day and night words pray, proof anyone hears, love echoing its hopeful rhapsody. Knowing there’s much to fear, in your embrace we’ve been moving mountains — long before a single breath knew it could. There can be miracles when you believe, that though hope is frail, tethered to faith love knows; You’ll Never Stand Alone. No heart knows what miracles it can achieve? But in love when you believe, somehow, it’s revealed to you — love’s freedom will be. Love, my heart has become so full, words can’t even explain. How tears for fear, being the most beautiful exchange, love liberating my heart and soul with its unchained melody — no fear of the unknown. Dearest love, when I need to believe, I Look to You. I Believe in You and Me, in what this will forever be. Nobody, loves me like you do!

*** When You Believe, is a song by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey — released in 1998. ***

The story unfolds, the pages untold, with courage so bold. You only need faith to believe, a life lived well received. Your heart on a profound journey, a beacon of hope so free. Shining bright for all to see, for that someone who may be following — the luminous light they see in you.

Encamped: Love’s Deep River Encounter

My heart, encamped by the shores of love’s deep river, my innermost basking in the crackling warmth of its peaceful sublime. My soul, content with the nature of its breathtaking ambiance, my heart captivated by its irrevocable embrace. Like that of an endearing campsite, the essence of its light lingers breathless — within the wee moments of love’s perfect starry gaze. My heart exposed, love camped so close and dear to the depth of my heart and soul. Closer with every breath, and every deeply felt exhale. Its flame, its closeness, more than a burning; its consuming desire, live wholeheartedly in its rhapsody. My heart encamped within its canopy, its breadth enthralled within the fabric of my being. My heart not fishing for compliments, my soul cast wide and free. Every encounter being love’s deep places, my heart drowning breathless within its unfathomable depths. Every day, its insatiable fire kindled new, burning faithfully — through and true.

Growing into Yourself

Dearest Flower, life’s quintessential journey, seeds of progression within a heart blossoming, its soulful destiny of becoming. Along the way, heart adjustments, its heartfelt realization: its lifetime process of inevitability’s sway. Baby steps, learning that even if one foot in front of the other, we can still fall short of true potential. But keep growing; being grateful for every breath, grace afforded by love’s sublime breadth. Never giving up, innermost awakened existence. Even if the sun doesn’t shine, and the rain falls from clouded vision, faith watered grows deeper. Strong roots, even if seasons of personal growth seem stagnant; heart and soul never swayed by momentary drought. Consistent weeding, allows rooted expectations to flourish, possibilities become endless. Buds of succession, growing into fullness, life’s endearing bloom encountering the beauty within forevermore. Yours truly!
