Smile

It sounds ever so simple 'smile'.  
It's what we do when we meet people, when we're having our photo taken or when we like someone.  But what does a 'smile' mean?
In simple terms it's an outward expression of how your heart or soul resonate with a situation.  

We can all tell a false smile immediately; it's as if we can sense there is no heart or soul behind it.  
So to honestly smile and mean it we need to connect with our hearts and souls and beam brightly with the result.  

For some people a smile, even from a stranger can re-engage them with their hearts and souls.  It makes a deep connection in that fleeting second and if you have ever tried it, you will almost always get a smile in return.  

The angels taught me when I was young that the intention I held in my heart when doing anything was the genuine reason for doing it.  This intention was the true and divine purpose of my actions and would always steer me in the right direction.  So when I smile it is genuine, as I am tapping into a deep connection between my heart and soul and the resounding smile is truly heart felt and heart given.

Smile at someone today, connect with how you feel when you do it.

Why does the snow linger so?

Sitting today with a nice warm cup of tea and watching it snowing yet again, i was guided to open my computer and write the following Poem.  Hope you enjoy it as it's very apt for the present weather we are all experiencing.  Cora x

Why does the snow linger so

blanketed all around?

Holding on its icy grip

slowly melting drip by drip.

Why does the snow linger so

frozen noses all a glow?

Children playing, days off school

running burning off their fuel.

Why does the snow linger so

where spring should now be all aglow?

We shiver and shake as chilled gusts blow

all because of spring time snow.  

Love and Strength

We are often told to open our hearts to love and to show love to others especially those who hurt and upset us. This allows us to forgive and move on, opening us up to further love and grace.

Most of the time it is easy to open your heart and shower those you love and the world in the healing glow of your love.

On the other hand there are times when this is the most difficult thing in the world to do. There are days when our loved ones hurt us, either through actions or words and these actions gnaw away at our souls. They pierce a thin membrane and wound us deeply. We are after all human and the fragility of being human can at times make us paper over aches and wounds so we can muster the strength to face another day. Therefore it doesn't take much to peel this fragile layer away and re-expose the wound.

At times like this having strength of the soul can help you to face this wound, take on its pain and see it in the light of day. You can examine why this wound hurts and why are you carrying around this hurt? Every little question you answer and expose can help you to permanently remove these hurts and wounds allowing your strength to overcome and fight on.

To love means you have to be strong, because love has many facets and dimensions, many ways it can be used against you, many ways to hurt and wound you but its greatest treasure is that it can be the answer to all your questions and be the one part of you that you take with you. It never subsides, never dies and never ever leaves you.

Have the strength to love.
