THIS IS TOO RELEVANT NOT TO SHARE



Good morning wonderful friends, I am so excited to be here for another beautiful day. Hope this post meets you in great spirits! Today is a beautiful day and I couldn't keep myself from sharing an amazing article, I read on one of my favorite travel websites. But before I share it with you, I first of all wanted to remininse over our recent trip to the UK for 2024 Spring break! The picture above is that of me and my babies waiting at Montreal, Canada for our flight to London Heathrow. 
I love these memories of travel with my babies and this one specifically still feels very surreal to this day. If you want to travel with your kids but are scared because you haven't done it before, don't be afraid, "JUST DO IT!" I can help you plan it too. 
Visit my website www.maryamsjoyfullifeluxuryvacation.com to see the great deals that I can offer you!





The above picture is a beautiful view of Portofino, Italy! We can take you there! Just call 470-765-2745
or visit my website www.maryamsjoyfullifeluxuryvacation.com for more information.

Here's the article that inspired me this morning. This article is from Insider Travel Report authored by Anita Pagliasso and I have included more information on her at the end of the article. Enjoy!


What’s preventing you from being successful? Are you feeling stuck? Do you allow others to define your potential? You can’t break through to your next level of success unless you. understand what’s holding you back. The “F”s in life can help us understand how they can get in the way or help you grow your business.

Fear: To be successful in business, we must step outside our comfort zone and move through the fear. Many times, I have come up with what I thought was a great idea but then stopped short of execution when I started to doubt myself. I can remember one specific time when I decided that I would approach some other businesses to see if they would be interested in co-marketing. I reflected on my fears and thought: “What if they reject my idea?” I pushed through those doubts and ended up with positive results with a majority of the businesses that I approached.

Frustration: Not being able to get clients to return your calls or emails can be so frustrating, especially when you have done all the work, found a great package, and now have a limited time to hold the reservation. Change the subject line or express urgency. For a subject line, I like to use “I’ve got fantastic news for you!” Whatever the circumstances are, don’t give up until you feel that you have exhausted all avenues. Then don’t dwell but move on.

Failure: The problem is that we are conditioned to avoid failure at any cost, so we play it safe. We operate within boundaries where success is most assured and avoid difficult tasks because of our fear of failure. I had a note posted on my computer for the longest time that said: “Rejection means nothing to me.” Each time a customer told me no, I looked at that sentence and tried again. I look at my failures as opportunities to improve. What could I do differently the next time? What lesson did I learn? In sales, it’s a numbers game. The more times you try, the more chances for success.

Faulty Assumptions: Eliminate self-created barriers to your success and focus on the facts. Don’t assume that because a client didn’t book their trip with you this time, you did something wrong. There could have been myriad personal reasons that they chose not to share with you. Instead go with the assumption that they will possibly use your services in the future. Thank them for giving you the opportunity. Let them know that you will continue to keep in touch and hope to be able to be of service the next time.

Focus on the Possibilities: Accept the challenge of finding new business, clients and opportunities. But this means getting out there and always trying something new. It can be scary, but also exciting to imagine what can happen next.

Fearless: Getting unstuck requires taking action and having courage. Contact that customer who rejected your last quote. Schedule a meeting with the pied piper who you think you have found the perfect trip for. Take on that project that you’ve been thinking about for the last years. Get yourself a “can do” attitude.

Fortune is out there waiting for you to claim it. Don’t let hesitation about doing something that is out of your comfort zone stop you from achieving it.

Anita Pagliasso’s passion has always been about all aspects of educating travel advisors, especially in the areas of marketing. You will find her columns relevant since they come from her own personal journey of turning a one-person home-based agency business into a thriving enterprise. She provides inspiration, encouragement, motivation and, most of all, shows how to keep the fun alive while selling travel. She is the author of “From Home Based to POWERHOUSE!” She currently serves as vice president of industry relations for KHM Travel Group, the large host agency; president of PATH (Professional Association of Travel Hosts); vice president of CCTO (California Coalition of Tourism Organizations, CLIA STARBoard and trade relations co-chair; and is a member of the ASTA Board of Directors.

LIFE WITH MY BABIES AND SWEETMAN LATELY

 

Hello everyone, thank you for checking out my blog today. I want to be more consistent with posting, so please pray for me :). I hope this blog reaches you in great spirits today. I do believe that if I want to make something happen; like being more consistent with my posting, I just have to do it.

I used to post a lot but lived less. Each passing day in the past, I would research what other people were doing that I would love to do and then  posted about them. However, things have changed for me and this happened by choice. I got tired of being on the sidelines, watching others live their best lives, while I watched.  Today, I am now living life and making posts about my experience. I have also noticed that I'm not anxious or in a hurry to share the good happening in my life. It's crazy but that's my current experience in life. Peopl who are truly living their best lives, don't feel the need to post about it all the time but occationally. I want my joyfullife to show more than I talk about it. 

I am living more in order to experience more so that I can share from a place of experience rather than theory. So, with all that said, here's a few pictures of how I have been living lately. From the constant fun and amazing adventures with my children and sweetman to travelling to Nashville, TN for business and pleasure. Life lately has been livingness! Yes, you heard that right! Life is in the livingness of it and don't ever get it twisted! All of the lessons and theories you have been accumulating will not apply themselves if accumulating them is all you do. So, go out, live those theories and lessons out. Test them on your life and come back and share your AMAZING experiences with us!























Nightout in Nashville with my lover!
The food scene in Nashville we rated 10/10

On one of my training days, I got out early and my sweetman and I went out and explored Nashville!
Cooky is an amazing sister/friend and host! We had a blast sharing the time with her.
Our time at the Westin Hotel in Buckhead, Atlanta
The babies and I went and fed the homeless last Saturday in Downtown, ATL.
I''m so thankful that I get to do life with my Angels everyday!
Thank you for stopping by!

HOW TO BE COURAGEOUS

 

Good morning my friends. Today is a beautiful day and I'm excited to be here. Hope you had an amazing weekend! Let me share a little bit about my weekend with you; So I had my Meet and Greet this past Saturday but no one showed up. I waited and waited but no one came and it sucked but I lived through it. I'm proud of myself that I showed up regardless of the disappointment.

I almost didn't go live this morning because I almost felt like what I was doing wasn't making any impact but I showed up! In today's live broadcast, I shared my take on the subject of "courage," because it took courage for me to plan and show up for something that didn't go as planned. Anyways, courage is not the absence of fear but the ability to move towards your goal inspite of the fear.  I have shared the link with you to watch it here:


Have a great day!

OUR OCTOBER HIGHLIGHT|| MEETING LILY PETALS WORLD

 

Hello my friends, thank you for checking out my blog today. I am very grateful for you. Hope you and your family had an amazing month of October?! Wow! What a month?! God is good.

Many wonderful things happened in this month for me and I'm going to share a few with you. 

My kids and I met our YouTube friend; Lily Petals World and her kids. We had a blast at Atlantic Station; Atlanta. Lily was very warm and welcoming and it felt like we had known her for years. Lily's new man was there too and he was a wonderful person to be around. Here's the vlog from our visit:

My Daily Morning show has been a blessing also. When I started, I didn't know that I would still be doing to this day and I did and I'm still going strong with it. I have some great plans for it too. Here's yesterday's show:

We talked about letting go and focusing on our goals, on yesterday's episode. I believe my morning show will change millions of lives around the world. I'm right now thinking about ideas that would make me better and also improve my show. 

Another highlight is my style. I don't always dressup unless I'm going to church or a business meeting/conference but having this daily show, I'm letting my fashion and style come through babyyy :). I notice how more confident I feel each time I get dressed for my show and I love it. 


October has been wonderful and I'm excited for the amazing things that will manifest in November. I pray that your November is filled with blessings and surprises in Jesus Name. Amen!!

ARASH VOSSOUGHI MILLIONAIRE MINDSET MORNING AND EVENING ROUTINE

 


What's up everybody, thank you for checking out my blog today. Today is a beautiful day and I am very excited to be posting this blog today. I believe today's post will inspire everyone.

In today's blog, I would like to share Millionaire mindset coach Arash Vossoughi's morning and evening routines. Arash is the founder and CEO of Voss Coaching Co. He was personally mentored by the greatest Prosperity teacher ever; late Bob Proctor. I have been following Arash for years and I consider him ny coach and I do intend to enrol for his mentorship soon but in the mean time, I wanted to share some valuable lessons I learned from his latest Podcast: 7 Figure Standard with you.

Arash is believer of how you start your day is how you end your day. He gives very valuable tips that can help anyone raise their standards and live the life they have always dreamed of. 

Morning Routine

1. Think about your goal. Arash advises everyone to think about their goal when they wake up first thing in the morning. He said the subsconcious mind, which is responsible for 95% of our results is more receptive to work on our goals when we think about them within five minutes of waking up.

2. Gratitude. Think about 5 to 10 things you are grateful for and feel the gratitude.

3. He exercises. He said he would walk his dog for 30 minutes and get some exercise while he does it.

4. I Am statements. He said he would say out loud 10 to 20 I Am statements because whatever we place after the sentence IAM, we become. For example: I AM HAPPY, HEALTHY AND WEALTHY AND I LOVE IT!

5. Affirmations of your goals. Arash advises us to say our goals in the present tense as though we have already achieved them.

6. Study. He said to focus on 3-5 paragraphs about an area we want to improve on, in a book that covers that topic. He said to study it until it becomes a part of us.

Arash also advised that as we grow, our processes will have to change. He said to upgrade our disciplines and processes as they become part of our nature. 

Evening Routine

1. Arash advises us to ask ourselves questions after the work day. Questions like: Did I act like the person I wanted to become today?

2. Did I behave like that person? He further explains that the evening routine keeps us accountable so we don't drift from our goals.

3. He said we should write out 3 to 4 goal achieving activities  in the present tense that we intend to carryout the next day, as though it is already done. 

4. Lastly, he said 3 mins before we fall asleep, we should affirm our goals in the present tense and feel like we already achieved them.

Here's the video for more tips about Arash's morning and evening routine:


I hope this inspires you.

OUR FIRST EVER ROAD-TRIP

 


Good morning, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. I hope this blog meets you well. Thank you for stopping by to read my blog today.

Today is a beautiful day and I'm excited to share this post with you all. I have a question for you. Have you ever been on a road trip with kids? Have you planned and followed through with it? If you have, congratulations. That's a GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT! You should be proud of yourself because I know that I am proud of you. 

The first picture is from when we went grocery shopping for our road trip.

We made a quick stop at Waffle House for breakfast, two hours into our trip.


I have been stuck in Georgia for a looonnng time. Well, "stuck," is an over-reaction but I have been in one place for too long. But you know what, you guys? This is the last time I let myself be stuck! For a while, I have been playing with the idea of travelling and seein new places with my children but it seemed like all I was doing was daydream. I often encourage my followers to go after the life they want but it seemed like I was more comfortable telling others to go after their dream, while I was not going after mine. Well, I have decided that I'm going to start living like I encourage others to! So, with all that being said, the kids and I are going on our FIRST EVER out of state roadtrip! What??!!! Guys, I'm screaming right now lol...

Want to know what we are bringing? Please watch this video:


I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Guys, something happened recently that almost made me cancel but I decided I wouldn't cancel for any reason. Well, here we are right now. I am posting this blog right from the heart of our vacation. I'm sitting by the pool; while the kids swim, I'm writing this post and I'm having a BLAST!

Want to know the groceries we are bringing with us? Watch this video:



The journey was smoothe and though we got lost at the wrong hotel, we found our way to the right one. 

If you're thinking about taking a trip, quit thinking about it and JUST DO IT!

Just take that trip! Life is in the livingness of it. So, go live it up!

Thank you for reading this. 

Don't let anyone steal your joy!

MY DIVORCE DETAILS YOU SHOULD KNOW

 

Divorce Divorce Divorce....

It's crazy that I am even talking about this topic right now because I dreaded it but here we go. I reviewed this term called Divorce and what it entails and the mere sound of it brings fear into my heart and this fear is not even reasonable because Divorce is just another way of saying "I'm moving on," or " I recognize God is taking you somewhere better but I don't feel good enough to be by your side and so I giveup what we have together." Society associates it with hardship, depression, failure, shame and difficulty but not me! I describe as opportunity for God to show up and prove society WRONG again!

My take is that Divorce is neither a good thing nor a bad thing but our thinking makes it so. I'm not one to give up on life when something or someone doesnt work out and I say this with the most humility and confidence. As a people living in a society that is often creating laws and naratives of limitations, we are often tempted to predict our future based on limitations and false expectations. I choose to differ. I was Christ's bride before I ever became a wife. My life is not dictated by events that worked out or didnt work out but by what I choose and the story I choose to tell myself. 

As the Bible says "All things work together for MY good!" These all things include DIVORCE. G

I don't know who you are reading this but here's what I have to say, "It's all working out in your favor!" 

God always has something greater and better for you but you have to want it for yourself. Cry about the breakup and dread facing the future by yourself but don't stay there. Get back up and keep going. Trust God and get better. Go out and exercise. Go out there and say hi to total strangers. I don't mean date people before you are ready but do things that will keep you hopeful about the future because BETTER is coming!

I end this post with this: whether it is a divorce or a loss, it doesnt have to be the end of your life. There's something BETTER around the corner. Reach for it in excitement and it will all make sense eventually.

Don't let anyone steal your joy!

21DAY CHALLENGE TO BETTER HEALTH



 Good morning, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. Hope this meets well. I am happy to be blogging today. Hope you're good and you've got your heart and mind protected from negativity?!

Today is a great day to share my challenge with you, but before we get into it, I wanted to just share an epiphany I just had with you. I just realized that I am prideful and not in a bad way. I want to inspire others to do better for themselves and others but before I can inspire others, I first want to try to be better and do better. I am constantly living by the principle of being the example I want to see and while I know this is not always easy, I still try my best to live by it. I have failed but I get back up and keep trying.


This is the first video of the challenge!

Now, with all that out of the way, I am doing a 21 day health challenge and today is the second day. If you know me, you'll know that I love rice and bread. These two foods are like my love. I eat them at least once everyday. So, as part of this challenge, I will be giving them up for 21 days and also, I will be working on my abdomen. I have not been consistent with my situps and all of that is changing with the challenge. I will be doing at least 100 situps each day for the next 21 days and track my progress.

How does this concern you? You might be asking. Well, here is how it concerns you; I want to inspire you to join the challenge with me. Let's make a decision to start a new trend and a create a new habit which will in turn change our lives. What is it that you want to cut off for the next 21 days? Do it. I am doing it with you. I am cheering you on and wishing you the best as you make progress.

Here's to making progress and looking mighty fine/fabulous!

Don't let anyone steal your joy!

AM I THE ONLY PARENT WHO EXPERIENCES THIS?

 Hello my friends. How are you doing today? Happy New Year and Valentine's Day Weekend/SuperBowl Weekend too. It's a lot of festivities this weekend huh? Lol... 

Today is a beautiful day and it's night time while I write this post and since it's been a while since my last post, I thought to myself; "why not post a blog tonight?' So, here we go! 

The kids and I are in Marriott Marquis Atlanta for the weekend and it's wonderful. The kids were looking foward to swimming and dipping in the hot tub but were a little disappointed when they were told they couldn't swim because of an issue with the pool area and by the time the pool area is fixed, we would've been long home and settled back to our routine lol.. So maybe next time we come back, the pool will be available for the kids.

Inspite of the pool situation, we figured a way to still enjoy our stay; such as ordering room service and touring the hotel. We were also supposed to go out and eat dinner at Benihannah's but didn't do it because it was raining and so could outside. It felt safer and wiser to order room service. The food was delicious too. 

Now, here's a question I have; If you are a parent reading this, do you ever get scared and worked up when you're planning a family getaway or vacation? Do you get overwhelmed and almost feel like cancelling the whole trip because of that? 

Well, I get that feeling all the time. It's like when it's time to get the kids out  of the house for a getaway, I suddenly get overwhelmed and this got me thinking about other parents who never go anywhere with their kids. I'm starting to believe that many parents choose to stay at home because it's easier and safe. At least while they are at home, they don't have to worry about juggling the kids around, looking for the best palce to eat and other things in between.

If you get overwhelmed and scared the next time you're planning a trip with your kids, here's my advise for you; pray and go anyways. You've got to face your fears and get out eventually. Just take a break from your daily routine and house for a fresh location with your family. It helps renew your energy and opens the door for a fresher perspective for everyone. 

Parents, try to relax and breathe. The kids will be fine and you will be too. 

I can be uptight when it comes to my kids and their wellbeing but I'm learning to relax more and breathe. With God's help, I have gotten better with being more relaxed and enjoying the moment. 

My advise to you, enjoy the moment. Don't allow a moment that should be fun become work and stressful for you. Breathe intentionally and smile. 

I hope this cheered you up in some way. 

Don't Steal Your Own Joy!

HOPE CAN COME FROM GREAT SUFFERING

 


Good morning wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. Thank you for checking out my blog today. It is a beautiful, cold and windy day today, in Hampton Georgia. God is good!

Hope can come out of great suffering. I have had my share of intense suffering and heartbreak and I can confidently tell you that hope can come out of whatever you may be going through right now. It may be hurting so bad and you feel like this is where your life ends, but I'm here to tell you this is not where your life ends. Something better is being birth out of you. Things are about to shift to a better dimension. You're about to see the grace of God like you've NEVER seen before. God is about to create a Miracle out of your mess. Life is taking a glorious turn for good for you.

I know that it's hard for you to accept my words right now but in time, you will. I just advise that you lift up your eyes up to the sky and look at the sun. Let your focus be on the light. He who created the Heavens and the Earth has not forgotten about you. Just remember to give thanks for the breath in your lungs right now. Start giving thanks that God whose breath is in your lungs is even right now, shifting everything in your favor. 

The right people are about to step into your life. the right opportunities are coming and the right friends. God won't forsake you and please don't forsake yourself. Keep looking at the light and affirming the word of God. "I will never leave you nor forsake." That's the word of God. Sing and dance even if you don't feel like it. Get excited because the horseman and his carriage are about to arrive at your doorstep with your miracle. You're not forgotten nor are you forsaken. 

Seek first the Kingdom within you. Call on your Heavenly father who is never far away from you. Take your eyes and focus from your troubles for a second and look to God. Look to Christ; the author and finisher of your faith. I believe things are shifting in your favor.

I give thanks for you, that everything has already turned in your favor. God is FOR you and NO thing can be against you.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD PARENT?!

 

Good morning wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. how are you all doing today? I hope you're all having a great day and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryamsjoyfullife. Today is a beautiful day. Thank you for checking out my blog today.

What makes a good parent? I ask this question with the intention of sharing my answer with you.

Being a parent is a great responsibility. It is you choosing to be responsible for another who either comes to you by choice or by circumstance but either way, YOU are going to be responsible for your new addition. Being a parent is a VERY big task and requires lots of SACRIFICE, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND PATIENCE. 

If you are a parent and your kids' needs come last to you, yeah, you're a BAD parent. Your kids' need should always be at the top of your list. This is not to say that you ignore your needs but you should be in a hurry to meet your kids' needs every SINGLE TIME!

Any parent who claims to be good but doesnt make sacrifice in time and expenses for their kids, is BAD!

I do understand exceptions where certain parents are just bad and are not supposed to be there near their kids but this post is not for such parents. This is for those who are ready to take being parents seriously and want to do the best for their kids. Kids need nurturing and love. Someone has to be there to show them love and a good example and this takes TIME, SACRIFICE AND UNCONDITIONAL love.

One of the most important advise I can give myself and anyone who chooses to listen to me is to put GOD first!

Let God guide you in your parenting and also use common sense.

KIDS ARE DOING GREAT

 


What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you're all having a great day and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryamsjoyfullife. Today is a beautiful day. 

The kids were ill last week and now they are better. Life is a lot better when they are their happy joyful selves again. The whole time they were ill, I felt like it was me who was ill. I dont like when they are ill and not doing good. I love my kids and do the best I can for them and when they are down, I'm down. 

I noticed something different about my reaction this time. I felt the help of God and the Angels. In the past, I wouldv'e been broken and sad and lost weight from worrying, but this time I was strong for my kids and me. I did everything I could within my powers to care for them. I'm so thankful that they are doing great. I give thanks to God for my kids.

Here's a video i filmed documenting my journey. Check it out


No matter what the situation, you are going to be alright. God is always there for you.

MAMA STUFF AND SELF CARE

 


Good morning wonderful, amazing sweet and lovely people. Thanks for checking out my blog today. I am happy to post a blog today and share a bit of life with you today. Hopefully, you are inspired as usual.

So, I enjoy having a fun time with my kids and it is amazing! It is very important for moms to enjoy their time with their kids, loving them and playing with them. This is a form of therapy and quite frankly, it is the BEST therapy there's. Love heals ALL things!

I spent part of the weekend baking brownies with my Zozo and of course we filmed it. It was very fun baking with my girl. 



Here's the video:


Zozo enjoyed herself and ate most of the brownies too LOL. Le'Veon got a good bite too.

We have also decided on what to bake next and it is exciting!

I also filmed a meditation video for you. Check it out here:


Meditation helps me so much and I hope you give it a try and see how your life begins to change for the better.

I hope you take the time to really enjoy life and be in the moment.

THEY LIED TO YOU

 


Hello everyone. Thank you for checking out my blog today. I hope this meets you in great spirit. Welcome to Maryamsjoyfullife! Today is a beautiful day and I am grateful you stopped by today.

They lied to you. You may be wonderfing why I said they lied to you. See, anyone who ever told you that it was too late for you, lied to you. Anyone who ever told you that you are defined by what happened to you lied to you. Anyone who ever told you that someone like you couldn't prosper lied to you. Anyone who told you that life is hard lied to you. 

Whatever you give your attention to, you merge with and become. If you think life is hard, you suddenly start creating that difficulty. When you believe life is easy and you always make it through whatever comes your way, it becomes that way for you as well.

Your life is always a reflection of your belief. If you want to know what you believe, take a look at the experiences in your life. That goes for all areas of your life. If you are not happy with your life, change it. True Happiness doesnt come from people or things but from within you.

LIFE IS ALWAYS HAPPENING FOR YOU



Good morning wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people.  Hope this blog meets you well. Today is a beautiful day and I am so glad that you are here. Welcome to Maryam's joyful life. Today is a beautiful day. 
So in today's blog, I would like to give you some tools that can help you get through hard times. I know that you may be wondering what's going on with me that I think I could give you tools that can help you. Well, I am obligated to share what has helped me weather many tough storms in my life because my heart cares for people. Before we get to the points, I would like to emphasize this point: Life is always happening for you. 

I know it may sound really silly to say that life is happening for you but I mean it, truly from my heart. Life is always happening for you. It may be hard at the moment and perhaps it's so hard you can barely get by, once again, let me remind you that life is happening for you.

When you go about life feeling like a victim to circumstances, that's exactly what you get. Life will continue to go that way. It is always the energy we put out that comes back to us. That situation in your life right now, is only an event; it is not you. Know that this moment and every moment is new and that something great can happen to you.

Live your life with a heart of expectations. Expect good things to happen to you. Don't define your life by all the pain you have endured or are currently going through. 
Keep your focus on the goal that you want to accomplish and ask God for guidance. If your mind has something to look forward to, it will not keep focusing on what is wrong. Switch your focus to what you want and not what you don't want.

HOW CHURCH HOPPING BROUGHT CONFUSION TO MY LIFE

 


Hello wonderful, amazing, sweet and amazing friends. I am grateful you could check out my blog today. Today is a wonderful and I am very grateful that you are here.

Today, I want to talk about why your prayers are not being answered. I have struggled for years but nothing happened. I tried so hard to break out of a negative pattern but received constant frustrations and rejections. I prayed, church hopped and sowed seeds but nothing happened. I was more frustrated because nothing changed. There were blocks that needed to be removed.

Watch this video because I went in depth with this topic there:



I was so afraid and thought that life was a constant battle and everyone I met always refered to an outside enemy and source behind my problems. When I changed me energy, everything changed in my life. I am not more aware.

Now, I can confidently share this post because I have seen a change take place that was not as a result of the things I did in the past.

Here are a few points to think about:

1. If you approach prayers with a feeling of unworthiness, you will magnify that and come away feeling drained and your prayers will not be answered.

2. If you see everyone else as the problem and keep trying to get everyone else to change but you, you will continue to suffer.

3. Stop feeling guilty. The energy of guilt is the lowest vibration and it will destroy your life. Guilt repels the things you are praying for from you. God can't answer your prayers if through your feelings you reject the very answers to your prayers. Know that you are already loved and love will find you in everything.

Don't let anyone steal your joy!
