      Yea indeed Jill. The hard part is allowing us to soften around our tears …especially when we feel we are in danger. 💕

    Yes! It isn’t what happens to us, it is how we perceive it that matters.

    OH did this one speak to me especially …. “Its time to change perspective”. I deliberately go out with Mother today to seek solutions that I KNOW are there yet are still not seen by me. Middle Ground ….. I best find that in Nature. Bless you, Val, for this confirmation!! ❤
