Thank you for your friendship, for stopping by, for reading, and for your time…I appreciate it…your kindness sends ripples of motivation to keep fighting this peaceful fight…God Bless, Maritza jtb

Your posts are so profound to me! Thank you for this blog! May I know your name?

Thank you for stopping by, for staying a while and reading a bit … Welcome into my circle of friends and extended Tumblr family… Maritza …As for me, I happen to find your blog not only inspirational but one which collectively seeks to awaken our consciousness in order to connect the fibers of this, our fragile humanity. Thank you for being a champion for growth, for hope, and for Love above all

I feel such hope when I read your posts. Just a quick note of appreciation to you. The world needs hope.

Who are you? Not by a definition, but by the heart. Not by what you do, but how you do it. Not by how you appear, but how you wear your smile. Instead of a label or classification, define your soul. Not by what you will be, but what you are being right now. As you ponder this, go deep.. By seeing a beauty buried. Not by what you know, but by what you can’t know which is an understanding between you and our maker. Pare it down, simplicity at its finest… that is who you are in this moment

RIGHT NOW …. You are CHOOSING Hope —- You are BEING Love — And remember my good friend, everything you send out — the Universe sprinkles back into your life …

Right NOW I want to sprinkle Love and Gratitude your way - Thank you for being my friend, for stopping by, for caring enough to leave me a note …much appreciated and well noted ….M (jtb)

Lol. That’s awesome! I just like the way you write. It’s soothing for my mind. I’m glad I came across your blog, I enjoy reading positive notes and you’re very creative. Personally, I know a journalist that writes for Time Magazine and her pieces of writings are not as unique as yours. I would definitely go through your archives; can’t wait to read more (:

Today, before you make your ‘To Do’ List, make your ‘To Be’ List…what and who you are going to BE today? Because, at the end of the day, it’s not what you do, it’s how you do it that will be remembered by others! 

Thank you for your friendship and choosing to be my friend…jtb

love your tumblr :-)

You never know when someone/something amazing will show up in your space. A burst of the familiar or the unexpected that takes your breath away. If your life seems a bit gray, simple presence (awareness) opens the door to a technicolor life. The respect of your surroundings on this place we call home will refresh the view. Look at life through the eyes of awe, with love in your space and the grace to understand everything is truly a gift…

In Gratitude for YOUR friendship …jtb

You are absolutely inspiring! Have a lovely day (:

There is no doubt in my mind that YOU will make a difference in our world someday…How do I know that? Because you are wanting to give love, respect, and an ear…  The simplest things can create change and allows the change to come in when your heart is in alignment with aspirations. The formula is easy give + grace = peace

There is no US and THEM , There is WE!!! We get this down, it just keeps on going out, and coming back to you …And that is what I call making a difference…

Thank you for your friendship ….jtb

love your blog so much!!!!

It’s so nice to meet you … You are going to think this is silly but my daughter’s name is also Kristina !!! Spelled the same way; also a Taurus and ALSO dreams of being a doctor when she grows up…Lol . Is that funny or what? In any event, it is wonderful to meet you. I am humbled by the fact you appreciate my blog. Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to scan through the archives at your leisure. I started this blog back in April to “de-stress”. I am a journalist and busy mom, and this exercise is self therapy - cathartic to me. As a matter of fact, I am between assignments and relaxing lonely hotel at the moment :( so your message is a welcome surprise. Happy to follow you back. I look forward to your posts! Welcome into my circle of friends and extended Tumblr family. Be Well…God Bless :)))) …M
