Head up, heart open. To better days! - T.F. Hodge, From Within I Rise: Spiritual Triumph Over Death and Conscious Encounters with "The Divine Presence"

"To witness miracles unfold in your experience, count your blessings and be thankful. Perceived small blessings accumulate to be the most powerful."

"The ego lusts for satisfaction. It has a prideful ferocious appetite for its version of "truth". It is the most challenging aspect to conquer; the cause for most spiritual turmoil."

"Perception can be one-sided or variant: "Glass half empty or half full."There usually is more than one way of perceiving. Thoroughly check your inner dialogue."

"Tough love may be tough to give, but it is a necessity of life and assurance of positive growth."

"Life is short only if you are not living your purpose."
