BEST MOMENT AWARD

My Acceptance:

I would like to thank my dear friend Tersia for this award for my posting on the Tragedy of Boston. I think the BEST MOMENT AWARD should go to the heroes of this tragic day–their ability to move beyond themselves and help those who were injured. 

Yesterday—the tragedy of the Boston Marathon Day— was a HEART-BREAKING MOMENT for all of humanity…we all need to be kind to each other…in every home, in every village, in every town, in every city, in every country of our world!

I think of how this tragedy is repeated time after time in so many countries of the world…sometimes because my USA country– inflicts this on others through drone attacks and bombings. We NEED to GET RID of ALL WEAPONS…all BOMBS…all guns!  We NEED to only drop WATER CRYSTALS of LOVE!  We each are invited to be that change in the world…I must begin with myself…and be gentle towards others…Just imagine, if we each did this, the ripple effect of all those beautiful water crystals!  Our world would be an ocean  of LOVE!

7 THINGS ABOUT ME!

1-I am very grateful that I was born…”to Be…for this Yahweh created all.” Wisdom 1:14 —this about the only Biblical numerical reference I know! When in the convent, I would reference the Bible with: “Somewhere in the Bible, it says…”  LOL

2-I try to be remain open to love, the gift of friendship –I have been blessed with GOOD FRIENDS!

3-I am so grateful for every day of my life – even the days I struggle – those days help me to grow and to be empathetic towards others and I do realize that most people are fighting some kind of battle…either internally or externally each day.

4-I am so grateful for Lara, Annie and Sara–my three lovely daughters–and my precious grandchildren–Ayden and Nadia. I am grateful for the many friends that have enriched my life!

5-I try to live compassion.

6-I love to laugh! I love to make other people laugh and smile…and realize I should put more joy in my writing, which tends to be quite serious.

7-I loved to teach [36 years]…I miss it greatly…my students enriched my life so much…and now I am transitioning into being a writer…a painter on canvas…and a better lover of myself and humankind in our ocean of water-life~!

My wish for all of my friends and fellow bloggers on WordPress, continued success in your writing…and our mutual desire to be with one another through our words…to write words to share who we are…to bring us all closer to truth, love and to each other in our world of water bubbles!
