selfish sleep creative
Deliberately seeking solitude-quality time spent away from family and friends-may seem selfish. It is not. Solitude is as necessary for our creative spirits to develop and flourish as are sleep and food for our bodies to survive.
confused sleep eye
A nap is not to be confused with sleeping. We sleep to recharge our bodies. We nap to care for our souls. When we nap, we are resting our eyes while our imaginations soar. Getting ready for the next round. Sorting, sifting, separating the profound from the profane, the possible from the improbable. Rehearsing our acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize, our surprise on receiving the MacArthur genius award. This requires a prone position. If we're lucky, we might drift off, but we won't drift far. Just far enough to ransom our creativity from chaos.
sleep naps awakening
the more naps you take, the more awakenings you experience.
inspirational sleep heart
When you first awaken or before drifting off to sleep, quiet your mind, lift up your heart, muse, mull over, make discoveries. Consider, conceive, create, connect, concede that it all starts within.
gratitude sleep waiting
While we cry ourselves to sleep, gratitude waits patiently to console and reassure us; there is a landscape larger than the one we can see.
taken sleep naps
There's no doubt in my mind that sleep deprivation is the hidden number one cause of arguments and cybersex. I'm convinced that countless good relationships end and bad ones begin because of chronic fatigue. Never make a major decision until after you've taken a nap.

Today, and everyday, take as your personal mantra: I am what I am and what I am is wonderful.
faith hope pack
Faith is the very first thing you should pack in a hope chest.

Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.
above dreams needs
The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do.
american-author precede striving struggle
Always remember that striving and struggle precede success, even in the dictionary.
abundance acceptance american-author awareness inner open peace ready receive simple surely waiting whatever
Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.
spiritual matter world
Our success already exists on a spiritual level; it's a matter of pulling it into the physical world.
