A moment within me.

A favorite photo of me, May 2012, Canada:

 My hands , my leg and my foot. The way they just go together . The connect ....in a spiritual way. I see beauty , but I felt so broken and such heartache .( I took this when I arrived in Canada . Took a taxi from airport to hotel.) I felt like I wanted to just let go and set myself free, but I could not. To feel a sense of release. However, the pieces were connected in such a way that could not be detached. The moment was beyond words..... Like a soul wanting to leave a body to heal. A body wanting to be made new again and mend. Yet, both feeling trapped.  "Through one persons ugliness, you then begin to see the beauty of others" - Jeanette L. Vela

Are you truly living the desires of your heart?

Are you living the desires of your heart?

Have you ever stopped to take a look in the mirror and ask yourself that question?  What are the desires of your heart? I'm not talking about things like winning the lotto , buying a car, but going deeper into the core of who you are. What do you desire? What are your dreams? What passions drive you? What feels right in the center of your heart that when you think about it, your blood starts pumping with such conviction? There are two ways to live life. You can live life embracing the blessing that God places in front of you, or you can live life in air plane mode. Just coasting through the motions of your everyday life. When you wake up in the morning are you excited about what's in store for your day or do you just want the day to be over with already? When you take time to be still to look deep within your self you find what the desires of your heart are. Sometimes we get so caught up with the things of the world that we lose focus on our self. I was once told, "you get only one shot to make things work. You make the descion to give your best shot or just walk away and never know what could have been." Today I ask you three questions: What are the desires of your heart? Are you truly living or are you just coasting through the motions? What are you going to do ..... take the chance to give it your all or walk away and never know?
