Be a child daily, that’s the secret
Mind over matter is about being at peace daily, in spite of circumstance. Being a child of God creates and sustains a peace deep within. With innocence and honesty, children know how to live, eat, love, pray and just simply be themselves. If I decide I will be a child today, I am free. At almost 50, my heart stays young as I work at peace daily through prayer and positive thoughts. With a racing creative mind, and the speed of modern culture, life is far too fast. But when I make my mind still, I truly feel and see life as it is-simple. As a traditional woman, I am the heart of my home. Thanks to my faith in God, I affirm mind over matter daily, knowing I can create a warm and loving home no matter what challenges my family and I face. Each morning I wake up ahead of my family to pray, trusting in God that I will make each day the best I can. To show my son every day is worth celebrating. I do special things to bring creativity and wonder to life. Yesterday was a butterfly -themed day, I made all kinds of butterflies. I also make an effort to do good deeds whenever I can, to teach our son to be a giver-not just a taker-in life. I know my prayers are not for naught when I recently saw my son give a homeless man a homemade pack he put together with all the essentials, a bible, a toothbrush, a granola bar and soap. The man smiled widely when our son handed him the special pack, and I could see our son felt the happiness of helping others inside his heart. Him practicing “love thy neighbor” made our day. To me, this is mind over matter. In spite of living in a time when the news reports nothing but frightening stories of a world gone mad, I refuse to let fear control my days and I choose to focus on the things I can do to live with the heart of a child, and the random acts of kindness we are all capable of, like helping the homeless or simply choosing to smile. Life can be so simple really, if we stop and slow down like turtles and stay steady on the path to being good people LOove Paula

A little boy in India saw a butterfly cacoon. He so badly wanted to open it up to see what was inside so he did , against the teacher's warnings, not to. When he opened it the little, developing creature inside died because it wasn't yet ready to face this world, nor to leave its comfortable cacoon of warmth and peace and love-its wings still needed to flap and gain strength, in order to be able to fly, once it was ready to...the little boy learned he needed to wait, not touch and be still and patient. Again, he saw a cacoon; a new one this time. He simply, as hard as it was to wait and be patient and not help the butterfly emerge... did not touch the cacoon.... rather he went off to meditate and to pray and to play.When he one day returned , he heard the butterfly within, wings fluttering strong...it was now ready to leave its special home and fly free.The little boy held his breath as he watched in wonder as each wing carefully unfolded, touching air and earth for the first time! As it flew beautifully anew , the boy grew to know with much wisdom, in his life , with his dreams to dare wait, and be patient; with others to pray for them , to not touch , but to yield in grace to Gods wonderful, unfolding ways...amen love, Paula
'The plans I have for you are more than you can imagine or dream...'
As I walked with my two yr old son, in the quiet June day... we walked up on a hill to a tiny old church. On the ground was a beautiful pastel baby -blue birds egg , open...it touched my soul with pure joy! I put it into my pocket. Simple are Gods true gifts...I reflected on how the open egg is a sign to let my son go and grow , trusting Jesus' great loving presence and guidance daily...the wisdom gained through silent meanderings leads us back to the heart that is love...we stepped into the church, so full of light which reflected off the stained glass; true happiness was felt as I whispered to Jamesey, 'shh, shh...' he repeated back to mommy,
'shhh, shhh ' smiling... as was I...he excitedly pointed to 're!, re!' the Virgin Mary , his forever mother as his blue eyes grew ever-big in the wonder of it all.. Later, I discovered the egg was not in my pocket and it was all right; I let it go and it remains forever a piece of my son and me in his 2nd year...sweet Jesus, may we always trust in your plans and truth your gifts are grace and life...Amen

EARLY MORNING
Early morning my heart awakens to write
Total silence is alive
I enjoy many Pita Bites and peace
The sound of our fish tank is a waterfall overflowing is my heart and soul
I thank God everyday for all He gives and takes away
I peek in on our son sleeping
His beautiful face is an Angel's shiny and full of light in the dark of night
I feel and know the meaning of a smile coming from somewhere deep within it is natural and free
God bless you I say touching our son without thinking
It comes easily and he is a blessing so pure radiant as life
Amazing beauty is his pure child's heart forever free and meant to be
Because In Your Lifetime ...You Will Be All Of These"
