It takes hands to build a house, but only hearts can build a home.



THE MAJORITY OF US LEAD QUIET, UNHERALDED LIVES AS WE PASS THROUGH THIS WORLD. THERE WILL MOST LIKELY BE NO TICKER-TAPE PARADES FOR US, NO MONUMENTS CREATED IN OUR HONOR. BUT THAT DOES NOT LESSEN OUR POSSIBLE IMPACT, FOR THERE ARE SCORES OF PEOPLE WAITING FOR SOMEONE JUST LIKE US TO COME ALONG; PEOPLE WHO WILL APPRECIATE OUR COMPASSION, OUR UNIQUE TALENTS. SOMEONE WHO WILL LIVE A HAPPIER LIFE MERELY BECAUSE WE TOOK THE TIME TO SHARE WHAT WE HAD TO GIVE. TOO OFTEN WE UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF A TOUCH, A SMILE, A KIND WORD A LISTENING EAR, AN HONEST COMPLIMENT, OR THE SMALLEST ACT OF CARING, ALL OF WHICH HAVE A POTENTIAL TO TURN A LIFE AROUND. IT’S OVERWHELMING TO CONSIDER THE CONTINUOUS OPPORTUNITIES THERE ARE TO MAKE OUR LOVE FELT.” —LEO BUSCAGLIA

Thanks Relyn


Age: I am 60 in numbers but much younger in spirit I am told. 

Bed size: We have a queen size. 

Chore I dislike: The worst thing my Sister and I had to do was to go through all our beloved Mom's things 6 years ago when she died suddenly and decide what to keep and what to donate and what to give to other family members.  Terrible time!
I hung on to many of her things and the above top picture I am wearing her necklace and earrings...........I have mementos of her all over but mostly in my heart♥


Dogs: We currently have no fur angels but have had many in the past. We had a dog and siamese cats.


Essential start to my day:  A morning kiss from my husband, prayer and  a positive attitude, and to focus on our many blessings.

Favorite color: Blue currently for my sweet Logan Love but I love pink and all pretty pastels for Spring. 

Gold or silver: I regularly wear both.

House or aparment: Home

Instruments played: No talent at  this!  But I admire people that can and I love music.  Some of my favorite instruments the piano, the drums, the mandolin and the harp.

Job title: Domestic Goddess and lover of life

Kids:One Fabulous Son and 3 inherited children

Live: in Ontario Canada

Married: very happily married 19 years to Paul and 19 years to my former husband who passed away in 1992 my Son's Father Robbie

Never again: Not listen to the voice of my own heart and intuition. 

Other fun fact: I have many friends that I feel so close to one I have met only once and others not at all but we are kindred spirits indeed.   I have pen pals all over and love to write hand written letters and cards.  I also love to receive them.  

Pet peeve: Gossip and mean people. Rudeness and people always on their cell phones especially when they are with you.  

Quote: Kindness is the highest form of wisdom

Right or left handed: right

Siblings: one younger Sister, one in Heaven.

Time you wake up: 4:00 a.m. on weekdays as I am on the weekends.

University: Never attended but I have taken some courses at College. and I try to learn something new each and every day.  I feel life teaches us great things if you just pay attention.

Veggies you dislike: Overcooked soggy ones or ones with no taste at all.

What makes you run late: Nothing I am always early or right on time

X-rays: Usually at the dentist. 

Yummy food: My husband cooks for me most days and I love my son's cooking and food at some of my favorite restaurants..........  

Zoo animal you love: I am not a lover of zoo's as I don't like seeing animals caged and not living in their natural environment.  but I love elephants but not in zoos but perhaps with all the ivory poaching going on they may be safer in zoos.   

thanks Relyn♥

These days, in our materialistic culture, many people are led to believe that money is the ultimate source of happiness. Consequently, when they don’t have enough of it they feel let down. Therefore, it is important to let people know that they have the source of contentment and happiness within themselves, and that it is related to nurturing our natural inner values.

☼ Another wonderful day full of positive energy and endless possibilities. Only good things can come when you let go of something negative. To each day comes change, to each life an end, what we do along the way decides how we will be remembered. Love the people who treat you right, Pray for the ones who don't. Life is 10% what you make it, and 90% how you take it.....♥

The Harlem Shake Sky Dive Edition

Have a Soulful Sunday

One young man went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. He passed the initial interview, and now would meet the director for the final interview.

The director discovered from his CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent. He asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" the youth answered "no".

" Was it your father who paid for your school fees?"

"My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees.” he replied.

" Where did your mother work?"

"My mother worked as clothes cleaner.”

The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.

" Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?"

"Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Besides, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.

The director said, "I have a request. When you go home today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.

The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went back home, he asked his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to her son.

The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful that his mother winced when he touched it.

This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fees. The bruises in the mother's hands were the price that the mother had to pay for his education, his school activities and his future.

After cleaning his mother hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother.

That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.

Next morning, the youth went to the director's office.

The Director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes, when he asked: "Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?"

The youth answered," I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes'

“I know now what appreciation is. Without my mother, I would not be who I am today. By helping my mother, only now do I realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done on your own. And I have come to appreciate the importance and value of helping one’s family.

The director said, "This is what I am looking for in a manager. I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life.”

“You are hired.”

This young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates. Every employee worked diligently and worked as a team. The company's performance improved tremendously.

A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, would develop an "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first. He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts. When he starts work, he assumes that every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he would never know the sufferings of his employees and would always blame others. For this kind of people, who may be good academically, they may be successful for a while, but eventually they would not feel a sense of achievement. They will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for more. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying our children instead?

You can let your child live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch on a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience it. After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow gray, same as the mother of that young person. The most important thing is your child learns how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learns the ability to work with others to get things done.

Try to forward this story to as many as possible...this may change somebody's fate.

Count Your Blessings ♥´´¯`•.¸¸.♫´¯`•.¸¸.♥

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.

Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Love your neighbor as much as yourself.
