Blessings

Blessed is the day when the sun rises slowly
Blessed is the day when you rise and stretch
Blessed is the day when the Love of God surrounds you guiding you, welcoming you

As this day and every day unfolds in perfect harmony
Bless yourself
Bless those around you
Bless everything
For when you doYou will know true peace deep within

Sunshine

Yesterday has come and gone
Yet yesterday was today
And with today I see that I am open
To honesty, courtesy, glamour, sunshine and true love
When I look at today with these qualities
I know that I’ve reached a pinnacle
In my life that all yesterdays put together
Cannot equal what I have for today

Acceptance

Picture a person who is lost
And God extending His hand

The lost person has two choices
One to accept God’s hand or
Two to stay where they are

We always have choices
Some may seem trivial
Yet accepting God

Will bring you back home

Water

Fallow the depth of your mind
As you gaze into the water

Your reflection returns to you
Contemplate your thoughts
Watch as the water ripples, distorting your image
Is this not the same distortion you have of your self
Smooth out the rough edges
By connecting to God

The One who has given us Life, Love and Peace

Connect and you will be forever Grateful

Angel Wings

When angels flap their wings

A most unusual site to see

When Angels flap their wings

Feel the wind upon your cheek
When angels flap their wings
Feel the warmth that covers your body
When angels flap their wings
Feel the comfort and security
When angels flap their wings
Feel utopia
When angels flap their wings

Peas

My mother once said, Eat all your peas
As I reflect on such a simple message

I realize the love and the hope
She was giving me
This nourishment of food and love

Helped me become the person I am today
However, today I will pass the peas

Smile

Smile when you are happy
Its automatic
A grin from ear to ear
Will open your heart
Look inside
Your heart beats
Pushing the life force throughout your body
Feel the pulsating blood swirl through your veins
Knowing each beat is automatic

A blessing from God

Seize the Moments

When you wakeup
And realize
All before you is a garden of beauty

You will then begin to understand
The glory of God’s World

Seize the moments
Loving every minute that you can feel
The joy and happiness
Spring from your heart

As pure as a new born babe

Honor

Forever I stand next to you
Forever I stand with you
Forever I stand up for you

You are pure and honest and sincere
Love yourself and others will love you
Speak kind loving words and they will drift back to you

These are God’s Laws, Honor Him

And you will have Honored Yourself

Challenge

A challenge awaits you

Are you ready to take the steps to make it happen

Wake up and open your mind to set your goal
Every little step you take to reach your goal
Will make the goal closer and closer to reality

Are you ready

Then lets begin

What would you like to accomplish

What challenge is waiting for you

To take that first step

Only you can make it happen

Options and Opportunities

Insist on perfection
Is this true
You cannot stumble and fall
Insist on being present
This allows you to be open to any situation
Does this give you more opportunities
Does this give you more options
Certainly
Options and opportunities
Now that opens doors

The World

Fashion is the statement to wear your fashions on your body
Love is the statement to wear your heart on your sleeve
To open your heart means allowing someone else to experience
The Divine Nature of who you really are
Be open
Be honest

Be love
For if you do the world is open to you

Doreen Santina Cote'

Open Your Eyes

Finally you have opened your eyes And said to yourself
I am here
I am the one who has opened the door
Seeing the beauty surrounding me
Finally I have stopped to be in this moment
After all there is only this moment

Doreen Santina Cote'

Roses

The scent of a rose is heady
And as each one grows
Developing into the magnificent flower it is
Petals so soft
Color so vibrant
Fragrance so sweet
And yet the stem so thorny
Isn’t that how we are too
Soft and sweet
And when provoked our thorns come out
By washing ourselves in love
There is never a need for our thorny side
Because everything is gracious
In the light of God




Doreen Santina Cote'

A Moment

A moment in the dark
A moment in the light
Moments are moments
They bring joy, sadness and exhilaration
But the moment of Truth
Is the moment we all search for
And when we close our eyes

The moment is right there each and every time
Realize how blessed you are
Bask in it
Never let it go

This is who you are

Doreen Santina Cote'

Cherish

Cherish the friendships you have established
Cherish the friendships you will develop
Cherish the person you have turned out to be
Cherish the person you will be tomorrow
For each day you experience a new you
New interests
New loves
New ideas

Cherish them all

Doreen Santina Cote'

In or Out

You are either in
Or you are out
How can you

Divide your energy in two
You will never be present if you do
To be present own it
Love it
Enjoy it
IT being whatever you do, your desire
And Satisfaction will be your Glory

Doreen Santina Cote'

Peace

Whisper in my ear And I will hear You
Look me in the eye And I will see you
Show me the way And I will follow
I am your servant Dear God
I am Your child
I am here to listen
To obey And to follow

Peace be with all men who do

Doreen Santina Cote'

Weary

Weary is the traveler
Who has lost their luggage
Weary is the thief
Who has been arrested
Weary is the person
Who has no where to go
Turn to God
Turn to Heaven

And Peace will surround you
