THE DAILY SPARK

If you want your life to be a magnificent story, then realize that you are its author.  Everyday you have the chance to write a new page in that story.  I want to encourage you to fill those pages with responsibility to others and yourself.  If you do, in the end you will not be disappointed.Quote by John Maxwell from his book: Talent Is Never EnoughREFLECTION:Do you like the life story you have written so far?What are you doing/have you done for yourself and others ?Are you pleased or disappointed?What new page are you going to write today?

May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.Quote by Peter Marshall - game show host and entertainerREFLECTION:What does freedom look like to you?Do you view it as doing whatever you please or doing what is right?

The Bluebird Sang A bluebird slipped a little tremble out of the triangle of his mouth And it hung in the air until it reached my ear Like a froth or a frill that Schumann Might have written in a dream. Dear morning you come with so many angels of mercy So wondrously disguised in feathers, in leaves, In the tongues of stones, in the restless waters, In the creep and the click and the rustle That greet me wherever I go With their joyful cry: I’m still here, alive! Poem by Mary OliverREFLECTION:When was the last time you heard a bird sing?When was the last time you enjoyed the peacefulness and contentment of nature?Take a walk in nature today!Come alive.
