I was born with the gift of joy…welcomed into this world by the face of this beautiful woman…her twinkling eyes and that amazing smile. This is the face of my beloved mother. The bells on my Guardians represent my mother’s playful spirit… reminding us to listen to the whispers of our hearts.
Overflowing with gratitude for my mother and so many other souls that have crossed my life path, I often ponder my unearned blessings. How can I carry so much joy in my heart when there is an overabundance of suffering in this world?
PERHAPS the gift of joy that was bestowed on me at birth is my gift to share… PERHAPS I have been assigned the blessed task of echoing joy into our world…PERHAPS my gift of joy can be a gift to a world of troubled hearts…I hope it is so….
