You bring out the best in people when you trust them with a higher-vision of themselves. You keep them at lower-levels when you treat them like you see them with your physical eyes.

#RomanticTuesday: Your Fragrance
“Your voice always causes me to smile.”
Your fragrance is everywhere
Sometimes I have to stop and stare
To see if you are around
Nothing can compare
Thoughts of you take me higher
Way above the highest mountain’s peak
Feels like I’m touching a clear blue sky
My, my, my
How your fragrance speaks to me
So intimately
Blowing kisses to you, my dear
Your fragrance which embodies you
I feel so near
Disappearing in these thoughts of you
Smiling, as I am filled with fragrance of you
Stuffed Cat
Just couldn’t resist
My taste buds tantalized so
Stuffed cat needs a nap
Friday Inspiration: Still Our God
God never changes
Regardless of our changing perspective
Through it all
He is still God
Rock Ballad of the Week: Bryan Adams “We Found What We Were Looking For”
We found our strength – we found our way at last
We found tomorrow – by building on our past
We paid our dues – we stick together – come whatever
We’re still standin’ – didn’t fall to pieces
Never lost our reason – never stopped believin’
We found our wings and now we fly above the wind
You and me – we found what we’re looking for
We gave it all – gave our very best
With every fall – we withstood the test
We broke the rules
Had to do it – to get thru it
We found our wings together we found everything
You and me – we found what we’re looking for
You made me shine – picked me up when I fell behind
With you – I never need to search no more
We’re still standin’ – didn’t fall to pieces
Never lost our reason – never stopped believin’
Ah never stopped – believin’
We found our wings and together we found everything
You and me – we found what we’re looking for
You made me shine picked me up when I fell behind
With you – I never need to search no more
You and me we found what we were looking for

#RomanticTuesday: Love’s Endless Depth (For You)
“You encompass the whole of life, the whole of love.”
A defining moment, when I met you
Totally redefined the spectrum of my life
I thank God for His kindness
I thank you for being on the path where we would meet
Love has its roots deep within us
Its embrace is nurturing, reassuring
Love will always remain alive within us
I find strength in missing you
It brings me that much more closer to you
Nothing and no one can change my love for you
For you
With you
I will always be
#MondayThoughts: Facing Opposition
When they judge you, yawn.
When they misunderstand you, smile.
When they underestimate you, laugh.
When they condemn you, ignore.
When they envy you, rejoice.
When they oppose you, prevail.
-Matshona Dhliwayo
There are those with opposing views than your own. There are people and situations that may impede your progress. We can be pressed or pressured into giving up by whom or whatever opposes us. What we decide to do is our call and no one else’s.
Life can be a trip, with its peaks and lows. Sometimes it is a gold rush, other times it can be a rusty bucket. Regardless of the day and what gets in our way, we have to find our get up and go and keep going. We can face the opposition or we can do an about face. Just remember it is your call.
Stay inspired and keep rising.

Rock Ballad of the Week: Peter Gabriel “In Your Eyes”
Love I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes
Love, I don’t like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
The heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes, in your eyes
In your eyes, in your eyes
In your eyes, in your eyes

#RomanticTuesday: Ever Present
And the tender breeze brought me your fragrance.
– Avijeet Das
Sometimes I look at that evening sky
And my heart swells with the hugest sigh
My mind never has to wonder “why?”
Because it is the essence of you stirring inside
So I take the moment and let it ride
Upon these deep feelings my soul glides
Thankful
For you being in my life
