I believe you really can find beauty in everything, if you just take time to see it. While we were at Pere Lachaise cemetery, I looked down and there was a rock in the shape of a heart. I thought it was beautiful so I took a picture to share it with you... 
The phrases, "Be here now" and "Be in the moment" is how I choose to live my life and because of it, I feel more alive than I ever have. So much joy to be found in the little things...Wishing you a beautiful weekend...

This past weekend my husband and I visited the Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, France.  We saw the tomb of Oscar Wilde.  I was very moved as I stood there reflecting upon how many of his words have left an impression on my soul.  I took a moment to say, "Thank you for touching the hearts of many lives including mine with yours."   "To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance." "To live is the rarest thing in the world.  Most people exist, that is all." ~Oscar Wilde~

I really love Dr. Seuss books.... They have wonderful simple truths that as we grow older often times we forget....

Our thoughts are as important as each breath we take, so we should be mindful of which thoughts we allow to keep and which thoughts we should release.

Written by Alice Hocker, author of Finding Inner Peace

Today let’s raise our level of awareness to be in the here and now being grateful for each moment of this day.  As you are focused on what you are thankful for, your vibrational energy simultaneously elevates.  Your energy level will soar today! 
You will be a bright light that radiates wherever you are.  You become a magnet as you draw others toward your positive energy.  Have you ever had the experience of walking into a room and you immediately feel the energy of others and you find yourself drawn towards the person or persons whose energy level is elevated?  Today you ARE that person.
As you stay tuned into the abundance of blessings in your life today and acknowledge them, you will find yourself in a state of gratitude and you will love the feeling.  Do you know why?  I believe it’s because this is when we are in alignment with our source and we are living in harmony with our true selves.  We are in a state of allowing.  Allowing to receive, to take in the beauty of being alive, of being present in this day, in each moment of this day.
I call this level of cognizance, living on the super-conscious level of life because you are not resisting anything today and you are giving yourself permission to take in the little things that we often notice but do not really see.  You FEEL gratitude and love because at the core of each one of us this IS who we are.
The smiles you give today and the smiles you receive today go directly to the heart of each other, to the soul of one another which is where we are all connected.
May your today flow into your tomorrow with a continued state of gratitude seeing with eyes of a child, the beauty in everything around you.
With much love,Alice

You may be wondering why I haven't posted over this last week.  Well, my husband and I attended the London Book Fair and I was unable to acess my laptop to update daily.  Now that I am back home, I will be able to post daily inspirational quotes once again.
The London Book Fair was truly an amazing opportunity to meet fellow authors and participate in sharing with one another different ideas and thoughts.  It was genuinely an awesome experience and I am thankful we were able to attend.

HAPPY EARTH DAY"Humankind has not woven the web of life.  We are but one thread within it.  Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.  All things are bound together.  All things connect."   ~Chief Seattle, 1855
