Inspiration

First of all,

Happy Mothers Day Mom!


Today I took my Mom to the Princess Diana exhibit at KC Union Station. It was great. They did not allow photography so I couldn't take any pictures inside but we did take one of Mom outside the exhibit. Mom at Princess Di Exhibit 

Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.

 I don't go by the rule book... I lead from the heart, not the head.
Princess Diana

She was a beautiful soul. Lots of compassion for others. She was the peoples princess. Loved by so many.



Well I can say that challenge after challenge is being thrown my way here lately. I believe that if you do good things for the sake of doing good, good things will return to you. This also goes the opposite way, if you do something out of spite or with intention to harm, this too will return to you and not in your favor. Its called karma. 

I believe in Hope. Hope that if you want something bad enough it will happen. Hope that change is coming. With that being said, I believe in change. Change can be scary but if its meant to be its meant to be. Good or Bad. Change happens to the best of us. We can find the good in the change or the bad. It is what we want it to be. 

I have been reading Whoopi Goldberg's book Is It Just Me? Or is it nuts out there? and it is wonderful. Im only 1/3 of the way into it. She is saying things in a real way and I could not agree with her more. She asks where is the respect? what has happened to helping each other out of the sake of kindness. Since when does having a different opinion make you the devil? Why can't we agree to disagree? Why do people think they have no consequences? Who do you think you are to say something like that to someone you aren't close to and think its ok? I am enjoying this book because not only have I been thinking the same things she has stated in her book but because I think everyone should read it. Whether you agree with it or not is irrelevant but to get you thinking about these things. So what it boils down to is that we all need to think before we speak and think before we act. I can do this, why can't you?
