Sand Castle Dreams

Lingering...

That summer state of mind,

and sand castle dreams.

Unforgettable moments etched into my memory box...

Memories that will last a lifetime.

Take every chance you get in life,

for some things only come once...

Stay close to what keeps you feeling alive.

Let all that you do,

be done in love...

Bring a dream to life.

It has been a summer full of dreams...

Living dreams...

A summer full of love,

and happy times.

Never forget that happiness

looks gorgeous on you...

Never let go of your sand castle dreams...

And always remember,

"I can!  I will!  Watch me!"

Blessings,

Yaya

Today is Life

Today is life...
The only life you are sure of
is this moment...
Make the most of it...
Get up.
Get out.
Dress up.
Live.
Love.
Let the winds of inspiration
sweep through you,
and feel your soul soaring to new places.
Dare to live.
Dare to try.
Sometimes one small gesture 
can give us the strength to do 
tremendous things.
Sometimes we are enduring
without expecting.
Expect that miracle...
Create a beautiful day,
everyday!!

Blessings,
Yaya

Running to Love

Running to Love

We all do it,
don't we?...
We run to love...
Everything comes running to where it is loved...

Be love...
Be the love that someone can run to...

It's a beautiful day to start.
When we love each other,
beautiful things happen.
The magic of the soul unfolds,
and blooms in all its glory.

Be the love you want to receive.
If you can't find the sunshine,
be the sunshine.
Be the one
someone 
runs to...

Let your love, and your light shine so brightly,
that others can find their way
out of the dark.

Be love,
and love comes running to you.

Blessings,
Yaya

Summer

Summer

Savoring those last days of summer...

Misty ocean spray,

and sun rays kiss the skin...

Golden tan feet in the sand,

a sarong wrap blowing in the breeze...

The gulls and sandpipers calling...

Beautiful shells, and sea glass jewelry...

 Sandals and straw hats...

Wine, and a walk at sunset...

Morning coffee and a sunrise...

That special cottage on an island,

and the scent of lemon trees,

and orange trees.

My beautiful southern sunsets,

locked in my memory forever...

As summer fades away...

"For her, the ocean was more than a dream.

It was a place she needed to visit to find herself.

And when she returned to the city,

you could see the sun in her eyes,

the wind in her hair,

and taste the infinite salt on her lips."

-Jose Chaves

Make a difference -

Touch a heart - 

Encourage a mind - 

Inspire a soul -
