The heart & soul's of life - we belong to each other

As you walk through this life don't just pick up wisdom, pick up people's spirit's as you pass through their lives. 

Just as when you leave a painful tear on another's heart - when you leave a smile on someone's soul it will never leave them. You're human, you'll leave both many times during your lifetime. Encourage yourself to leave more souls smiling than hearts crying.

-Ronda Rae Franklin

When Lightening Strikes...

When lightening strikes in the direction you're heading you can either see it as a sign to turn away or as a lighting of your path.

You feel the lightening in your gut, deep down in your soul. Your heart understands what it's telling you. You have but one decision.

You can follow the lightening that strikes your heart and soul, or you can pull back in fear of its power. Beware of the fear; it's your own heart you're afraid of. -Ronda Rae Franklin

of Ronda Rae Franklin

Free your feet, and your soul, from the roots of shame, anger and bitterness.

Don't allow a feeling to define your actions. 


Embrace, explore and confront them. This 


doesn't give you leave to feel sorry for 


yourself; it gives you permission to be human.

But when the root of the emotion is no longer 


in front of you, then it's time to put the feeling 


behind you as well. 

Your emotions belong with the root of their 


existence - you don't. 

The roots will grab hold of you. 

Free yourself by giving up the emotion instead 


of you.
