A happy life is not a perfect life. It's not about being rich, gorgeous, popular or famous. It's about being real, grateful, kind, strong - and able to share who you are - the true you - with others - their true selves. It's about being able to touch and be touched inner heart to inner heart - instead of outer ego to outer ego. When you're able to do this, then you'll experience true happiness - because you'll be living with authenticity, love, meaning and purpose.
Everything that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that's yet to come.
One of the best wishes you can wish for is clarity. Wish for clarity for yourself, clarity to see the meaning and purpose in your challenges. Clarity to see which are the new paths you need to take - clarity to see which old paths are dead ends you should no longer take. And as far as those who have harmed you, wish for them to gain clarity as well - clarity to fully see the pain they have caused - clarity for them to see new ways of being and doing. What this world needs to be at its most loving, peaceful and joyful is simply more clarity!
It's time to move on. Whatever you thought about while reading those words, it's going to be okay.
The hardest battle you'll ever fight: who you are now and who you want to be.
Sometimes those who don't socialize much aren't anti-social. They just have no tolerance for drama and fake people.
It was her chaos that made her beautiful. - Atticus
You are worth finding, worth knowing, worth loving.
Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes. - Oscar Wilde
The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away. - William Shakespeare
A warm smile is the universal language for kindness.

In the face of a challenge, in the midst of frightening or and difficult situations, you must remember the good. You must take a breath from the center of your being and, remember, trouble comes to pass, not to stay. - Iyanla Vanzant
If you're seeking love, first find peace and love within yourself. Then you'll create the foundation for love to grow.
Thank you all so much for visiting me here! I always appreciate and enjoy reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share!
The videos of the fawn and the baby seal were darling ~ I hope that the babies found their mothers. The Karen Salmansohn quote is so true! Have a lovely day tomorrow, Linda! I hope you are blessed with lovely spring weather. Sending you love and hugs!
ReplyDeleteThe Deer Whisperer, is so beautiful and sweet Linda !! Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteWeren't the quotes in this post particularly interesting and inspiring? :) Yes they were! The Shakespeare one is my favourite.
ReplyDelete"Meanwhile in Canada" is always fun, even though I must say we Honda drivers are in general very skilled and attentive drivers... :)
Big hugs!
Thank you Dearest One for another touching, moving post of yours, blessed be !!!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a most lovely weekend ahead,
I'm sending hugs and love across the many miles
XOXO Dany
I love that first one from Karen Salmansohn. How very true indeed!!!
ReplyDeleteTenerissimo il video della bambina con il cerbiatto
ReplyDeleteI liked video The Deer Whisperer, Linda. It's so touching! the words 'A warm smile is the universal language for kindness.'it's true.
ReplyDeleteNow I can start the weekend with a smile on my face. Thank you, Linda! Wishing you the same!
ReplyDeleteI always am amazed at the variety of goodies you discover, Linda, and how well you pair them up with each other in your blog posts. What a lovely assortment today. Poor little seal doesn't want to leave his captors - he may know what it's like being alone at his age. Thanks again, and happy week-end! xx
ReplyDeleteThat tiny fawn looked like a newborn, with it's wobbly legs. Hope mama came back for it. The Meanwhile in Canada poster about the parking spot gave me a good chuckle this morning. :)
ReplyDeleteMarvelous post Linda, thanks so much. Happy weekend to you :)
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. Deer video is so awesome. Melt the hearts.
ReplyDeleteDear Linda - Both the little girl and the newly born fawn are so cute. The movie made me feel like going to Nara park to meet fawns just having arrived to this world. Thank you for the inspirational quotes as always.

Loved the bowling video. What a wonderful way to give back.
ReplyDeleteThe deer whisperer. She's mighty talented.
Loved the baby seal. So precious.
Have a fabulous day and weekend, Linda. Big hugs. ♥♥♥
Lovely videos Linda. What an amazing experience for the young girl and the baby deer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Robin
Very inspiring thoughts☺
ReplyDeletebelle citation de William Shakespeare..Linda
ReplyDeletegreetings
We Canadians can be passive aggressive? :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Linda! The Raphael Vavasseur art is so beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI like the deer whisperer. And Ms. Shephard's yodeling was fantastic. Also, it is interesting to realize that Canadians don't know how to park! :) But you had some of the best posters ever. Merci !
ReplyDeleteUn bon choix de vidéos.
ReplyDeleteGros bisous
Enjoyed all the videos, especially the Jean Shephard one. Great quotes and wonderful art work. Have a blessed day and a wonderful weekend. Madeline
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, I just love the critters. The deer and little girl is adorable and I love the cute seal. Great videos. Happy Friday, enjoy your day and weekend!
ReplyDeleteHello Linda!:) The little girl deer whisperer was so gentle with the fawn, and it was a lovely video clip. I hope both the baby deer and seal found their mothers. It was touching to see the seal thanking each of the rescuers. All the quotes are beautiful.:) Thank you Linda,...have a good weekend.:)
ReplyDeletelove, love, love the "anti-social" one! catchatwithcarenandcody
ReplyDeleteI have never come across anything like it before the deer whisperer was an amazing video.
ReplyDeleteThere is a whole collection of 'bad parking' pics floating around the internet these days...hilarious!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the quote about the happy life. You have a great blog. :)
Regards,
Glen
Hello Linda, and my good wishes for the new month of June, I really don't know where January to May went - it whizzed by.
ReplyDeleteI hope the week has been a good one for you.
Once again a great selection, love your videos and I do like the quote 'A warm smile is the universal language for kindness'. I sometimes think the world could do with a lot more smiles ...
Happy Weekend Wishes
All the best Jan
I love the "spot just for you"! How great is that! lol
ReplyDeleteSuch heart warming videos of Deer whisperer and grateful baby seal. Have a beautiful weekend, Linda!
ReplyDeleteLinda, With the deer whisperer, I can't help but wonder what happened to that fawn... Ollie Imogene Shepard was both a singer and songwriter who kept performing until 2015. She died in 2016. I will admit to having little tolerance for drama kings and queens...or for fake people! I did like that Canadian passive-aggressive poster... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteI love the saying about being anti-social.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend
I'm not normally moved by gurgling baby or happy children type videos but that one was exceptional and poetic. Also secretly like a bit of yodeling- old style country music is fascinating to me as it seems to have such well defined boundaries that are seldom crossed, musically and visually, i,e. singers are invariably on a country porch with big hair, in a barn or sitting on haystacks.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful the illustrations with cats !!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe want to thank you very much for the beautiful comments on our blog !!!!
Have a great weekend Linda !!!!

Oh I have had so much experience (mistakes)!
ReplyDeleteIt's time to move on..., Linda, from one address to the other, at the moment...
ReplyDeleteThe meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away. - William Shakespeare He certainly had this right :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the Raphael Vavasseur Art, I never get tired of his drawings and they always make me smile.
Have a good Sunday Linda and take care Diane
I very much like the quote, "it's time to move on". The deer whisperer was good too. Excellent post!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Sunday Linda.
No había visto los blog durante toda semana y como bien sabes los vídeos de animales son mi debilidad mas si salen pequeños animales como el cervatillo y foquita de esta entrada, el pequeño elefante de la anterior. También la inteligencia del Delfín dejándose curar y la gracia del perro al huir de las ovejas.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
I have been cracking up no end at the Canadian one. Great. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
These are wonderful and once again send me on my way smiling. Thank you Linda, happy weekend to you :)
ReplyDeleteVery encouraging post. I do believe that all that is happening is preparing us for the moment yet to come!
ReplyDeleteThank you for these inspirations, Linda! Have a happy Sunday! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great quotes. I had a hard day at work last week and they are really helpful right now.
ReplyDeleteHee, hee... still giggling over the car space!
ReplyDelete"A Spot Just for You!" ~ priceless!
ReplyDeleteHi, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing such lovely quotes! I love them. You, too, have a wonderful week. Best wishes, Sadami
ReplyDeleteSo lovely, and always uplifting. Hugs :D)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Linda! I love the cat sleeping in the night sky! Thankyou for all the beautiful quotes and videos. Hope you are having a great day! Hugs!
