Keep persistent... By Chris Agudo

You have to keep persistent, always, no matter what task you are trying to accomplish. 

"If at first you don't succeed, try and try again."

That quote resonate's with me because I have an experience with that.  I wrote a song and was super proud of accomplishing that.  The next step was to record it.  So I did.  Actually I tried, and tried, and tried.

It just wasn't coming out right.  I wanted to give up, I even said, "forget it!"

So I slept that night angry that I couldn't do that.  I gave up, then...

Our Love Long Lasting Ribbon - Part 1 - The Connection

The story behind this incredibly strong and powerful ribbon began when a set of two eyes laid on each other for the very first time. Two kids at the age of fourteen felt at that moment what most would never feel in a lifetime. A surge of electricity ran through their bodies as they remained with their eyes locked on one another. She knew right there and then she had found her life partner. He knew right there and then that she was the love of his life. The certainty of each other’s love was immediately imbedded into their hearts. The formation of Our Love Long Lasting Ribbon had been born on that day.

The meeting of the eyes lasted merely only for a few seconds but to them it seemed like a lifetime. For Iliana, it was the most wonderful feeling she had ever felt. For Jesus, it was the most beautiful site his eyes ever laid on. They did not speak a word while passing each other by that day. However, their eyes spoke out with a thousand words.

The Wounded Refuge... By John Dambold






When asked...  
"How did the wound occur?"  
Silence hung threatening to steal the oxygen...  

Risking rejection...
"How did the wound occur?"  
Still the silence hung.  Finally the Old Oak sighed... 
"A storm"... 
Excitedly the next question came...
"Really, share the story, did it hurt, what did..."

Slowly the Old Oak peered down at his visitor...
"My friend" he stated "it is just a story and I am not that story...  I am a story of Love and Grace...  See here...  This life was born out of the wound but I am not the wound, but without the wound, I would not have this story of Love and Grace..."

After thinking about the Ancient One's words, the visitor said...

LIVING IS SO BIG... Because of Love

FRIENDS I HAVE YET TO MEET... BY CHRIS AGUDO

There are 7+ billion people currently living on planet earth!  The way I look at it is that there are 7+ billion friends I have yet to meet.  They are not 'strangers', or 'scary', they are simply friends I have yet to meet.  Think about that...

This may be a new concept to you, you may think that this is balogna.  You may even think this to be obscene and not true.  Well, honestly, it is very true for all of us. 

You may be reading this and I may not know you, but I guarantee that if I get to meet you then we shall become friends.  That is how I think, because all of us naturally have a tendency to want to be friends and want to be at peace.  That is human-nature.

Your point of view may be exactly what someone needs today
