Now is the time. All the work. All the effort. All the practice. Go out and make something happen today.

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” LABBB Career Direction students lend a hand at the Woburn Social Concern Food Bank and for Habitat for Humanity.

Why I Wake Early

Hello, sun in my face.

Hello, you who make the morning

and spread it over the fields

and into the faces of the tulips

and the nodding morning glories,

and into the windows of, even, the miserable and the crotchety -

best preacher that ever was,

dear star, that just happens

to be where you are in the universe

to keep us from ever-darkness,

to ease us with warm touching,

to hold us in the great hands of light -

good morning, good morning, good morning.

Watch, now, how I start the day

in happiness, in kindness.

Augie Nieto and His Quest. “It’s not the breaths you take, it’s how you breathe.”

You Can Be A Healer. Choose & Create Healthy Life Habits & Practices.

Take time to give to yourself.  It sounds so simple but so often as we do and give to others, we overlook our own needs and the time we must have for our own health.  Be kind to yourself first.  Care for your physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies.  When the three bodies are balanced they are healthy, and one will then be reasonably happy.  At that time, you will be capable of doing great things, while caring for many, giving to many, and encouraging all persons along their journeys. You will be a peaceful warrior.
