Ever ran across a line in a poem or heard a verse in song and thought to yourself, "Wow! That is the truth!"  Has that truth ever really resonated with you? Well here are a couple of truths, as I see them and may they resonate with you as well.

1- YOU ARE THE AUTHOR OF YOUR OWN STORY.  I find this to be so empowering!  You get to write your next chapter. You can pencil it in, mark it with ink.  You have full editorial control.  That means YOUR story is all up to YOU! You are your own HERO if you choose to be!

2- BE MINDFUL OF WHAT'S WRITTEN IN YOUR LIFE'S LEDGER.  What is written in your story says a lot about who you are.  Be present. Be accountable. I mean, let's face it.  We ALL make mistakes both big and small.  The trick is to accept them, own up to them, LEARN from them, and sometimes, even embrace them!

3- MAKE YOURS A LOVE STORY!  Perhaps not in the traditional sense.  It's not just about WHO you love.  There is also WHAT you love, HOW you love, the love you GIVE and the love you RECEIVE. And let's not forget learning to love YOURSELF.  Fill your pages with love!

Hope you find these to be as true and inspiring as I did.

With all that life may offer
one truth never wanes-

What is held in your hands
may be fleeting.

What is held in your heart,
remains.  ~S. W. Matthews
