Inspirational Poem Of The Day: About Hope

emily dickenson art inspiration poetry dra martha castro noriega tijuana mexico california usa

Hope is the thing with feathers —by Emily Dickinson

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I’ve heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

Anything Goes On Sunday: I’d Rather Be Cycling!

I needed some house repairing tools and wanted a palm tree, but I was not in the mood to drive the car and get into traffic. So I decided to do what I really love to do: cycling. Really, I will rather be cycling than driving, all the time. So I grabbed my bike that has a rack attached to it and rode away to Home Depot!

On my way to the store, I was pedaling fast, breathing, puffing, and doing my usual «dancing on the bike». After pedaling 16.7 miles (26.72 km) I got to the store,  secured my bike, went into the store, and bought what I wanted. Time to go back  🚲 🚲 🚲

I go to my bike to get everything ready to go back home. Using some high-quality stretch elastic bungee cord hooks I bought I tie the palm to the bike and to my surprise I rode without the palm moving to the sides at all, it was pretty secure!
The 16.7 miles (26.72 km) back home were so awesome and full of fun that I hardly felt the heavy weight I was carrying on my backpack, and the palm tree loved the ride!
I felt proud of myself knowing that I could carry in my bicycle everything I bought, and rode a total of 33.4 miles (53.44 km) with no problem, enjoying every second of it.

102 Years Old Woman «I am Marvelous»

102 years old: MILLIE BAILEY
«I am Marvelous» by Shiloh Sophia

«Today I choose.
I have chosen to be the queen of my kingdom.
To name me as the ruler of my life.
I will not wait for the approval of others.
I choose to listen to this big heart within me.
I have chosen to occupy this space in this Universe.
I don’t keep my gifts hidden any longer.
I don’t allow fear to hinder my greatness.
I have chosen to be as wonderful as I truly am.
I don’t judge myself for the path I have not yet taken, or for the way I have behaved so far.
I choose to forgive myself and release the old stories
to make room for new stories, for legends to emerge.
I will not abandon my dreams and visions.
I will think with my thoughts.
I chose to fall in love with who I am, as I am, right now.
To embrace the messy and wonderful world inside of me.
I won’t diminish my light, one more day. You hear me now.
I let go of the shadows. I open my hands. I open my heart.
I choose to see myself, and to be seen by you too.
I choose to see myself as everything, holy, worthy, and wildly me.
This is more than enough. I chose to be scandalous!
Being Wonderful is not a defect.
It’s a choice.

You hear me now.
Are you ready for this? I am. Today I choose.
I have chosen to be Wonderful!»
– Shiloh Sophia

Bird Of The Week In My Backyard: Golden Headed Warbler

The bird I had the opportunity to watch and take a photograph of was in the Genus Dendroica, a large group that includes primarily arboreal warblers with wing bars and tail spots. My beautiful bird today is the TOWNSEND’S WARBLER (Dendroica Tównsendi).

What Do You Do When Your Patience Wears Thin?

When Your Patience Wears Thin, what do you do? Some people do yoga, exercise, some others pray, others get so desperate they yell, behave erratically and dangerously. There is another approach people take: ignore their feelings and put them under the rug.

For starters, there are some persons who are truly patient and can take a lot of bad actions (betrayal, lies, etc) from others without saying a word, but eventually, everybody’s patience wears thin, sooner or later. What do you do when this happens to you?

I usually walk by myself, a long walk, with the path full of steep-climbs and difficulty. I love to climb stairs. When I come back I jump in the swimming pool and then relax, by then, my patience is healed.

Kindness Matters In This World

motivation inspiration kindness dalai lama dra martha castro noriega tijuana mexico california los angeles usa

Just a smile, a kind look to someone, a thank you, you’re welcome. When we see people walking down the street, in the market, restaurant, etc., with a sad face or maybe a serious one. We don’t know their life story, what they have been through, we should not judge, be rude to them. Many times we can change somebody’s sad face with a kind smile from us.

Needless to say, kindness towards our family, relatives, and friends, is most important.

Do you have any suggestions or ideas on how we can be kinder to strangers, or maybe you want to share a story about kindness? Thank you!

“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”Robert Louis Stevenson
