"If the doors of my heart ever close, I am as good as dead." -Mary Oliver

Good morning my friends. May your day be kind to you and may you be kind to your day and people dwelling in it.

Wishing you a joyful Sunday my friends! May you find tiny treasures at the beach... or anywhere else your weekend might take you. -Maria | https://mariafafardwrites.wordpress.com

It was such a pleasure to meet Amy Cuddy at LiFT conference in Richmond. I was speaking about personal branding as a tool for self-discovery and growth and she was speaking about the impact of how we carry ourselves on our sense of power; this explains our power poses 😀! #amycuddy #powerpose #power #confidence #speaking

Good morning my friends! It's a new week - will you allow yourself to walk into the newness? The doors leading into the new are everywhere, but we need to notice them and to be courageous and curious enough to walk through them. ~ Maria, https://lnkd.in/euy_P4v

"I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost."- John Steinbeck, "Travels with Charley in Search of America".

Good morning my friends, it's Monday and I'm here to wish you a wonder-ful week. May you get the important things in your life and work done... and at the same time, may you not move so fast that the little moments sparkling with joy go unnoticed. Remember to slow down, even if only for a few minutes - and SEE the exuberant spring world around you. #littlejoys #happymonday #noticing #presence #slow #slowdown #notice @friendsofgreenspring #greensprings

Wishing you a joyful, soul-feeding Easter! May you experience resurrection in your heart and in your life, and may you share the resurrection of kindness, love and hopefulness with people around you and the entire universe. #happyeaster #easter #ᴇᴀsᴛᴇʀ2017

Joyful Friday to you my friends. Wishing you a day full of meaning and little joys. A little joy can be as simple as noticing a tiny white flower raising its head in your April garden. It can be seeing a clumsy puppy running around his human, bursting with energy and joy of life. Or it can be remembering someone you used to be close to and sending them a note out of the blue; this is you giving a little joy to someone else... A world of little joys is calling to you. Will you answer? #littlejoys

Wishing everyone a joyful Tuesday! May you stumble upon beautiful corners of the universe and of people's hearts today. As I was taking this picture on a short walk with our dog today, I was once again reminded of the diverse loveliness this humble pond hides. Oh, how different this tiny corner of the world looks at different times of the day, in different seasons, in different light, in different mood of Mother Nature. Or is it my mood that changes and thus shifts my perception and ability to receive beauty? May your heart be open to receiving it this morning and every day of your life. And I almost feel like adding "Amen" upon sharing such a blessing <smile>.
