I’ve seen through others’ eyes,

suffered many dies,

been there with those suffering pain –

feel with them in their demise,

see in them – shame.

Instead of fearing them as “the other,”

I listen to their stories, and they become real,

then we see them as kin,

so nice to see from them – a grin –

sometimes just being there for them is a win.

What peoples I’m talking about

need not defining –

everyone who’s fallen down

and not shining –

sometimes too proud to seek help from another,

people like us can stand up to be a good sister or brother.

“Alone, but yet together, we all depend on each other.” ~ E. Lang

Keep shining brightly

with Peace and Love,

Evana.

Part II: Flower in the Snow…

evanalife74's avatarevanalife74 Leave a comment

Flower in the snow, ❄️

do you even know

how beautiful you are –

head reaching to the stars.

Sun, clouds, rain and snow.

🌹 Flower in the Snow,

I can see you stand proud with the sun

and blow with the wind,

even when it’s a cold one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Flower in the Snow – ☃️

no matter what the weather throws,

you always bless us with a beautiful show.

I just wanted to let you know

how gorgeous you are,

you make our days glow! ✨

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don’t know

if you heard of Leonardo,

but he studied the beauty in nature

and the force inside life that helps us grow

Sometimes seeing flowers can feel like seeing rainbows 🌈 .

He wanted to know

about this force that allows us to transform

that what is within us all

that pushes us to our greatest potential

to set the world aglow!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let our brains be relieved of made up constraints,

let us let go of the mundane

and change to the other lane –

👇

Even in the pouring rain,

it’s so not insane for doing what’s truly ours,

we’re on the chosen train even if to many’s disdain,

it is possible for everyone to find, get and maintain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When there’s something weighing you down,

it’s your baggage or your griefcase.

Look within to find the answers to change your pace.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Forgiveness is a freeing grace to each other –

not good is it being angry at one another.

Find that place in your heart

where you can see the perspective

of your sister or brother,

Father or Mother.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Using God as your guide is your best start,

he will help you see your part.

Waves of the ocean,

sand in a glass –

if we call on God,

this too shall pass.

God’s Blessings,

Evana

A flower in the snow.;

it’s beauty is put to show,

comes out to brighten our world

without saying a word.

True beauty comes from within;

even a brief smile or a little wave

will make the world a better place.

Say “thanks,” don’t be ruled by haste

and always lean towards joy;

give the world some heart ❤️ in your day,

and add kindness to our shared space.

We are all here together:

each of us storming our own weather,

so why not be as gentle as a feather

as you spread joy and kindness –

what could be better?

True beauty comes from within;

even a brief smile or a little wave

will make the world a better place.

Look up from the screens,

put away the devices,

too much time is sacrificed.

Let’s use our time wisely,

enjoy time spent together

it keeps families connected better.

Get out, shine ✨ out your love, ❤

listen quietly to him above:

hear your feet 🥾 🥾 upon the snow

and don’t forget to glow!

Glow with the love 💗 of God

inside you.

Glow and shine out to the world!

🌺With Love and Blessings,

Evana.

🙌Resurrect & Reset Your New Perspect…

Live in his Glory &

Rewrite your Story!💖

————————————————————————

I chose nature…

I prefer the tweet of a bird, 🐦

a reel of a fishing pole, 🎣

and the actual clouds. ☁️

————————————————————————

As the worldwide web is crowded

too many faces of ours are shrouded

trading our actual for virtual reality;

like many fish are in the sea,

it can’t be easy to break free.

————————————————————————

I chose nature…

I prefer the tweet of a bird, 🐦

a reel of a fishing pole 🎣

and the actual clouds. ⛅️

————————————————————————

Hiding behind these made up worlds,

outside and inside of them can hurt –

not truly knowing and growing in their

own identities –

being blocked from genuine intimacy

makes real life remain a mystery.

————————————————————————

I’d rather see someone’s face

then look at screens,

read a book, write a poem –

this world is much bigger

than what it seems:

Dare to go out into the unknown,

there you will be blessed to find your

golden mean –

your road to better.

Our Road to Better…

_____________________________________________________

Our road to better

doesn’t depend on a days’ weather,

but sometimes can with the last thing we said.

————————————————————————

Words and thoughts inside our heads –

some come out, yet some aren’t shed.

On our road to better,

might we write our future self a letter?

————————————————————————

It might go like this:

“Don’t you worry dear,

your future’s bright and clear,

you’re only in a tough place now

but trust God and it will pass –

this struggle will not last.

————————————————————————

Although you’re troubled now,

have faith in God and patience

you have a precious gift endowed

you will share on many occasions.

————————————————————————

Your future will be beautiful and bright,

when you look back, you’ll find –

that these were all stepping stones

of a better life to take in stride.

————————————————————————

Always confide in him

who knows all,

who made all creatures

big and small;

with him,

your light will never dim!

————————————————————————

So clothe yourself with kindness,

mute out the never minders,

be mindful of your words –

take off your blinders.

Your brightness reminds us

that God’s Love ❤️ is timeless.

————————————————————————

Blessings,

🌺Evana

Angels Cry When the Heart Sighs…

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Angels cry when the heart sighs,

sometimes one must say good-bye –

love is painful when one-sided,

our hearts cry out, it hurts our pride.

_______________________________________________________________________________

When you find you’ve tried without luck

let things flow by –

sometimes there is change, sometimes not

and we divide

when we are faced with love denied.

_______________________________________________________________________________

With a closed heart, love has no where to go,

who can say when the roads meet –

keep safe your heart of gold.

_______________________________________________________________________________

We swallow our pride, swim against the tide,

and keep to our own tribe.

Once again, it seems, we’ve been taken for a ride.

_______________________________________________________________________________

No one can help those preoccupied,

no need to worry to stay on their good side,

life’s too precious to be pushed aside.

_______________________________________________________________________________

img_3512

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sooner or later you’ll begin to confide

and once again hit your stride,

no need to stay down and hide –

you know your strength is deep down inside.

_______________________________________________________________________________

With each coming day you’ll be satisfied,

that life is wonderful and becomes beautified –

you’ll feel purified from those your love was denied.

No more living on the wrong side,

always remember to confide in him divinified.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Soon you’ll be on the upside

and have amplified your life’s purpose –

It’s time to realize that and shine with pride.

_______________________________________________________________________________

You are perfect in God’s eyes:

he always sees, always hears

and always cries your tears.

He wants to help you see each sunrise

as an every day surprise!

_______________________________________________________________________________

…Angels cry when the heart sighs…

_______________________________________________________________________________

Blessings,

Evana.

Create Love 💖Alive!

“To be or not to be – I am.

To see or not to see – I can.

To love or not to love – I do.

To live or not to live – I will.”

~ E. Lang

If you are a creator,

you are a part of creation,

so let’s spur a creation nation.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Only if you’re impatient

with yourself and others

you will feel alienation.

Alienation is like isolation

against association,

deviation from liberation.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You’re either part of creation

or part of destruction

in the making,

no need faking:

truth thinking leads to leading

but most are blindly agreeing

without looking,

and without seeing.

To be or not to be – I am.

To see or not to see – I can.

To love or not to love – I do.

To live or not to live – I will.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Don’t agree that all is true

when it goes against me

and goes against you –

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We are all here for a short time.

Time cannot be bought –

the clock chimes.

God wants us to stand up

for what we believe

not blindly be deceived

and follow someone else’s lead.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We are all meant to lead,

leaders make leaders

our need is to believe –

we stand up for what’s right

even when not well received

from those uptight.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Those who at first we falsely perceive as bright,

then somehow plow right through the ✋ stoplight

as we regarded them as polite without foresight.

Those that enjoy attention from the spotlight

until we feel no delight in the plight of a snakebite.

To be or not to be – I am.

To see or not to see – I can.

To love or not to love – I do.

To live or not to live – I will.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Don’t agree that all is true

when it goes against me

and goes against you –

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

People are easily convinced

without using their own minds

letting other choose and not resist

to dismiss the unfixed

and continue confined in a bind.

_____________________________________________________________

Quick to react, quick to judge –

so much easier not to budge,

to not think on their own

and also quick to raise the tone.

_____________________________________________________________

Much harder it is to keep our calm,

God’s comfort acts as soothing balm

as he holds us in his palm

as our savior and strongest hold

keep safe your heart of gold. 💛

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

To all with him console:

🙌 May your most beautiful 🌺 life unfold!

To be or not to be – I am.

To see or not to see – I can.

To love or not to love – I do.

To live or not to live- I will.

Blessed Words of Songbirds…

Have you heard birds sing lately?
Let your words and actions ring greatly
every day you are alive!

~E. Lang

Some of us are singing in the car,

doesn’t matter who you are,

let your world resound with joy –

go ahead and revive

your deepest desire to thrive!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

There’s no reason we shouldn’t strive

towards our highest potential

derived from the inside

brought out to arrive and jive

a trillion miles high.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Have you heard birds sing lately?

Let your words and actions ring greatly

every day you are alive!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

So keep the flame inside alive

even if you feel off track,

even if you feel held back:

There’s no one else on earth like you,

only YOU can bring to life

your biggest dreams, it’s true!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Be patient and humble –

life is full of tumbles,

but no need to grumble,

we all at times stumble.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Have you heard birds sing lately?

Let your words and actions ring greatly

every day you are alive!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Make sure you keep a journal

for dreams and goals internal

it helps gather thoughts

and ideas become organized,

making them more apparent on paper

so plans can be comprised then realized.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Goals and objectives,

strategies and tactics

are effective directives

it’s okay to sometimes turn full detective

as long as you have a connective objective

that is of God and You reflective, not circumspective.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Have you heard birds sing lately?

Let your words and actions ring greatly

every day you are alive!

_______________________________________________________________________________

Problems come and problems go –

they’re part of life as we know,

what can be done is circumvent,

there are many ways to repent!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Problems are opportunities in workpants

see the “lesson learning” chance,

everything is “figure-out-able,”

it’s time to head to the round table,

put all your cards on it

and always keep your heart safe and stable.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Have you heard birds sing lately?

Let your words and actions ring greatly

every day you are alive!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Be insistent

to stay consistent and persistent.

We all have the need to achieve –

no time to grieve but be relieved

it’s vital to believe not self deceive

why not find the ace up your sleeve?

_______________________________________________________________________________

At this hour

it’s time to grow,

and time to empower

so you can show your glow

and accept your superpower.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It’s time to let it shower of Love, Peace and Kindness!

Blessings,

Evana.

When you know

you’re not always

gonna be around;

___________________________________

You just gotta gotta gotta do

what you neeeed to –

Daddy said:

“Do what you can’t live without,”

so get to work and stop the pout.

___________________________________

Many a day seems like

we’re waiting to get back –

back to our masterpieces

so we don’t lose track.

__________________________________

Lose track of who we are inside,

lose track of the plans and dreams alive.

__________________________________

Alive we are most when at work

deep in thought in overdrive

trying so hard to thrive

and always when getting back to it

having to revive what we are living inside,

_________________________________

Every time it seems I try –

I start, I begin.

It starts as a thought, a reflection,

a vision that’s full of meaning.

_________________________________

I get in second gear,

get all excited –

and then –

then duty calls

to go –

again.

___________________________________

We are all living it.

it’s in the life of artists,

dreamers, creators,

writers and music people.

___________________________________

In everything that is created,

God is there so elated,

being patient in our court,

cheering us on in support.

____________________________________

When we get back

to our expressive work,

what comes natural to us.

again he is there

always in his ways

he is there for us,

this we can trust.

___________________________________

We are closer to him

when we do go(o)d works.

He works through us

and helps us through too.

___________________________________

The older we get,

the more we may

understand –

ourselves and him

if only we let it in.

___________________________________

The paths we chose at first

may not be the chosen ones.

but if we find it –

what’s ours and begin

to go where it takes us

with no thoughts of a win,

where we feel the most

heart pull and strength

from within,

that’s the place you’ll be in tune

without being plugged in.

__________________________________

When we figure out how

we can help others of sin,

God’s road may come with some spin,

to him we’re all his children akin

so find your place within.

__________________________________

The push, the pull, the tug,

the struggle is real.

God asks us to give it to him –

surrender and kneel.

__________________________________

The guidance we need is right there

as long as we follow his light,

for his children he always cares,

his light shines very bright!

__________________________________

He won’t ever let you down,

goes where you do

knows all the towns

and can shine through You too.

Be blessed on your journey,

you’re loved more than you know,

remember with God

you’ll be ever aglow!

Blessings,

Evana.

Steps to Awaken Your Inner Force

“Dance to the Beat of Life with the Spirit of Youth” ~ Author unknown

evanalife74's avatarevanalife74 Leave a comment

Try a New Rhythm of Life…

Try a new rhythm of life:

Be the Light!

_____________________________________________________

Stop, think and reflect,

then rise with respect.

Let go when you feel triggered,

You know there’s something much bigger –

than ourselves.

————————————————————————

Learn to be humble and aware of your emotions,

don’t resist to work through them

and just go through the motions.

When you feel a heightened stress,

it’s time to stop, think and reflect.

————————————————————————

It’s time to try a new rhythm,

try a new rhythm of life:

time is wasted with criticisms,

every day choices

are your own decisions.

————————————————————————

Let go and feel the beat,

let go and tap your feet –

let go of your inhibitions

and get yourself into condition

to be driven by ambition

and create NEW traditions

always through a mission.

_______________________________________________________

Rise n’ connect through common ground,

be duty bound all year ’round,

let’s make booming ground for the world’s best sound!

________________________________________________________

Be done throwing your weight around

and aim for thriving ground,

it’s never too late

to turn around.

It’s never too late to be your best

first rate –

transition into the new rendition

of the new improved You,

“in for a penny, in for a pound” –

be all about it

to shift your ground.

_______________________________________________

It doesn’t hurt to change your perspective,

the one you’ve held onto to protect you.

Do we realize that it’s actually neglective?

Of your true needs misconstrue.

________________________________________________

Think of how you see things,

your perception –

is it time for a new rhythm of life:

always think higher, it’s super effective,

let’s all work together

for the best possible projective!

____________________________________________________

Stop, think and reflect,

let go and feel the beat,

rise n’ connect –

it’s never too late

to try a new rhythm of life,

be the light!

Blessings,

Evana.

Find Your Happy Place

Strolling along the ocean’s shore

listening to waves – thinking –

there’s so much more

of this world to explore!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

it’s fun to travel to places

and finding Go(o)d spaces

within our souls and minds –

the better part of us that shines.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Find Your Happy Place

even if you don’t like your space

there is a way to quiet the race:

go out to nature and slow your pace.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Close your eyes, hear and taste –

the sounds and smells of nature’s embrace.

Let the magic of nature

help you out of life’s chase.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Listen to the waves crash and roar,

we all are free when we soar –

when we give it our all to our core.

Soar way above the ocean’s floor,

beyond your troubles – just open the door!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Keep thinking higher,

look up to the sky:

see the birds,

the clouds,

the stars –

God always knows

where You are.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Always stop to listen,

stop to hear,

and really get in tune

what loved ones

are saying

to you.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Be patient and humble,

kind never hurts –

find the part of you

that seeks peace.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Make meaningful connections in all directions

into our world…
