One Drop

Vonita 18 Comments

A friend (over at Inner Ramblings) sent this song my way with the most wonderful words of encouragement. I love it (the song and the words of encouragement!):

“Music works well for helping to soothe my stirred up mind and aching heart. I’d like to dedicate a song to you and anyone else reading this comment for we are all in this crazy messed up world together and could all use a friend. Enjoy!”

One Drop

I need you, and you need me
Left alone, we will never be who we could be
So take my hand and, don’t forget that
We can do anything togetherOh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Just one drop of your love
A single ray of sun
Just one thing to change the world
It’s just you and me
Starting with a dream
And giving it all we’ve got
Only takes one drop
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Only takes one drop
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Only takes one drop
Only takes one drop

Come with me now, look and see how
There’s an ocean overflowing with our hope so
Let’s jump in and, take a swim, it’s
You and me, yeah forever

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Just one drop of your love
A single ray of sun
Just one thing to change the world
It’s just you and me
Starting with a dream
And giving it all we’ve got
Only takes one drop
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Only takes one drop
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Only takes one drop
Only takes one drop

I need you, and you need me
We can do anything together

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Just one drop of your love
A single ray of sun
Just one thing to change the world
It’s just you and me
Starting with a dream
And giving it all we’ve got
Only takes one drop
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Only takes one drop
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Only takes one drop
Only takes one drop

In a bruised world:

Freedom to love
Freedom to live
Freedom to laugh
Freedom to be

Our spirits can never
Be captured
When love is our banner!

Praying for those injured, hurt and victims of a cruel heart xx

US Dollars

Vonita 15 Comments

Over the past few months (since end October), I have been buying US dollars on a travel card. $1000 AU dollars would buy approximately $675 US dollars. Well, I’ve really shot myself in the foot because the exchange rate has suddenly swung in my favor and would now buy $730. Except I’ve already bought the bulk of what we may need! Any suggestions on what a daily budget would need to be for food, gas, holiday expenses (excluding accommodation), for a family of four? $250 – would that be enough per day? Just looking for an estimate to budget pls, obviously it won’t be the same every day. We will be in California in three weeks!

Pushing People Away

Vonita 34 Comments

A kind friend mentioned in a comment here on WP that pushing people away is a defense mechanism. This thought has really stayed with me today. It is something that I tend to do. My face shows all my emotion. When I am happy, it shows. When I am sad, it shows. This morning a colleague friend of mine picked me out for having an angry face. One doesn’t have to look at your face for very long to know that something has made you angry, he told me. I am angry. I am angry that there are a few people that I have allowed to influence my emotion. And when I decide to take a stand, it feels liberating for a day or two, and after that I felt utter remorse. I feel angry for the way I deal with certain situations. Someone mentioned it is like I don’t trust in my own decision-making. And I don’t! Not at all. For I know that my decision today may come back to haunt me tomorrow. I push people away so that I will not get hurt. But in doing so, I get hurt anyway.

Everyone is so encouraging here on WordPress. I feel so much love and support and encouragement. It really lifts me up, thank you ❤

I’m not my friend

I’m my own enemy

I hate me

I’m Sorry

Vonita 9 Comments

I’m sorry
When I say words
I know I will regret
I’m sorry
When I lash out
And say what I want to say
The remorse overcomes
The sorrow drowns
The hurt pains
And I hate myself
Can I reverse the clock
Can I unsay the words
Can I undo the wounds
Can I be someone else
Anyone but me?

Daily Inspirations by Erika Kind

Vonita 8 Comments

On Saturday I received my much-anticipated 101 Kind Quotes  physical copy created by my dear friend Erika Kind from I’m Free. First up, I want to say how wonderful it is to be able to hold it in my hands and to browse through it freely. Each quote is set on an accompanying image and has Erika’s trademark butterfly presented on it. So much to inspire. And much about love. My favorites are those revolving around love “Love is the cause, the key, and the result. Love is all that is“. There are 101 quotes, so perfect for choosing one daily at random,  or to read in one sitting. I am really glad and thankful for this beautiful book, and for all the love that has gone into creating it.

Thank you Erika, for your wonderful community presence, and for all that you do for us. We love and appreciate you! ❤

Outside

Outside the window
I look upon
Trees of green
Clouds of sky
Lawns of grass
Cool air
Fresh breath
Other worlds
And freedom
From the chains
That bind me
Mercilessly
To my mind
