Appreciating the Signs all around ....



I Love these guys!!! If (or rather, when...LOL) the time comes that my car needs to be towed - I will be calling on Leo's for SURE!
I will be making it a point to catch up with these guys sometime soon to chat ... would love to find out more about them, what inspired them to share this beautiful message with the world.
The first time I ever saw this truck my heart skipped a beat and yes, I even got a tear in my eye - altho, perhaps some of that has to do with how synchronistically Leo's entered the scene on my path ... and now I see them everywhere.... and even luckier for me ... I've found one other towing company with a similar message..... will be posting (and hopefully chatting it up with them as well) soon!
God Bless!!! Make the most of your day ... and remember....share the love! spread the light!
Namaste'

"If" by Rudyard Kipling

If

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
but make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies;
Or being hated, don't give way to hating;
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream -- and not make dreams your master;
If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold On!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings -- nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving freinds can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run --
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!

Find it Within
and let it Shine Bright

For Love is the way

Loving Nature, Respecting the Earth


As I look out my window, I marvel at the simplicity and beauty of nature. The sounds of singing birds and laughing ducks lightens my heart, amuses and amazes me. Who knew the mallard duck was a laugher? Before last summer, I was quite unaware.

Living on the river is a blessing, a blessing that for too long I have taken for granted....but I have opened my eyes. I have been awakened.

There are so many simple steps we can take - little things we can do - to protect nature and preserve the earth.......

**Recycle at home.....and at work

**When you are out for a walk, bring along a couple bags with you .... pick up any trash you see and put it in one of the bags, and anything that can be recycled in the other.

**Please.....stop using balloons - and if you must, please be conscious and don't set them free. Wildlife will thank you!!

**Plant a tree

**Grow your own herbs and veggies

**Bike, Walk or Blade to work if you can

**Go Solar Baby!!!!

Lucky for us there are many tips, tricks, ideas and gadgets available to help us do our part. What are some of your favorites??

God Bless!!!

In Love & Light,

April
