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.

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

evanalife74's avatarevanalife74 Leave a comment

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.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

img_2451-1

Make meaningful connections in all directions

those projections become great reflections

into our world…

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What a beautiful place we live in,

we’re so lucky to have our days;

Make sure you never forget

to be grateful in thoughts and prayers.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Breathe in the days’ fresh air,

leave your worries at the door

and enjoy nature’s beauty galore!

Steps to Awaken Your Inner Force

Glide or Fly…and the Garden of Evana

evanalife74's avatarevanalife74 Leave a comment

Whether you glide or fly,

don’t let nature’s beauty pass you by.

Photo courtesy of Fernando Gonzalez 💖

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Glide

or

fly

like a bird

in the sky.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Should I glide,

or should I fly,

pump my wings a little bit

like pedals on a bike –

don’t quit.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Should I glide,

or should I fly? –

Force like an engine’s power

every day and every hour –

be careful to not be misled.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When you need to take a break,

glide a while

just let things go

for your own sake.

________________________________

Rest to perch on a branch,

use “God’s time” to reflect –

some things take time to figure out

listen to songs of nature to reconnect.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Should I glide,

or should I fly?

_____________________________

Set your mind free

of the overwhelm pattern

to release your new mind

from all the chatter

after receiving

nature’s gift of wonder

in a generous lather.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Do you remember as a kid

riding up a hill?

It can be constant climbing for a while

until you improve your skill.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Many things that one loses

can be rebuilt –

persist to be enriched

and flip your script.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When it comes to personal growth

resist to just float instead devote –

Look up and promote your best self

imagine that you’re making an oath

to yourself to lift and shift not drift.

Keep faith, hope and your will

and you can refill

your cup of love

and let go of thoughts of ill.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Everything that goes up

also comes back down,

keep your feet firmly planted on the ground.

Everything that gets planted –

grows to expose that what you compose.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Things that are buried

eventually come to surface

so live with purpose and let your best flow.

You can smell it from your nose

and feel it in your toes!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The energy that surrounds us is ours

let’s use the time we have to empower:

clear our minds of ill and use our hours

to make space for the most beautiful flowers.

Practice planting super healthy seeds

to grow our best possible garden of life indeed!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Chaos and Inflammation

is in many a nation –

time to manage better control

of what we accept

into our mind, body and soul.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Should I glide or should I fly?

Is up to you to know

which way is up,

think higher and fill your cup.

Within your soul you know what’s right,

within your minds depth it all aligns,

listen to these inner truths

and you will soar in flight.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When it’s time to start your day,

you’ll have all the strength God gifted us with

so chose the better way!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Love, Peace and Kindness,

Evana.

Your Soul Is Meant to Soar…

evanalife74's avatarevanalife74 Leave a comment

Invest in Your Best and Grow to Glow!

If you can’t control,

let it roll –

don’t let it take a toll

on your body, mind and soul.

It’s always good to console

with a friend or friendly soul,

get it off your chest

and take a rest,

let it be a a test to manifest

only your best to progress,

no stress, be blest.

Once we surrender to God’s speed,

our shackles are loosened and freed.

God’s always in control

that’s what’s true –

it’s the good news

that helps us out of the blues.

Invest in your best,

be open to others stressed,

think about how you can help,

yet always be true to yourself.

Invest in your best

and never mind the past,

grow forward and progress –

that’s the way ahead with no regrets.

Invest in your best,

give way to the pressure

that you take on as stressor,

be there for others and your woes

will be lesser.

Don’t ration your compassion

with yourself or others,

realize you matter

in all your own troubles.

Keep your love in check with one another,

let the ego go and not be bothered.

What makes a difference in one’s world

is how you live and how you think.

It always helps to be patient and humble

this helps prevent situations to crumble.

We can never really know

what a person is going through-

it doesn’t hurt to listen with intent

we could learn something new.

It helps to aim to understand,

practice patience and self control,

then you too can grow to glow!

Bless and be blessed,

Evana.

Vessels On a Stormy Sea…

Vessels on a stormy sea,

are tossed around unexpectedly

what can they do

but trust their faith-

hold on to it

to see it through.

Vessels on a stormy sea

is how we feel emotionally

before we find our strength –

the kind that moves mountains

to any size or length.

Faith and hope

are deeply rooted

in our needs to cope.

Wishing you Faith, Hope, Peace and Love,

Evana.

Steps to Awaken Your Inner Force

Listen to the Seagulls cry…

evanalife74's avatarevanalife74 Leave a comment

In today’s world and weather –

imagine yourself a feather:

soft and light,

letting things be

just wisp around ever so gently.

■

Listen to the ocean

always in motion,

toes in the sand,

our footprints 🦶 disappear

after the next wave takes command.

■

Stand tall,

make your voice heard,

no matter what is happening all around –

let your song resound.

■

Tread lightly, be tactful

pay attention to the wind –

straighten your sails

and shift with the changes,

just a little rearranging

of you already amazing.

■

Steer ahead past your fear

way past what you feel you can,

not a tear will you shed

when you get more ahead.

■

Go forward with what moves you

in your core –

keep learning more,

you won’t know if you don’t try

don’t be afraid to find more open doors.

■

Seagulls cries’ welcome land,

a place we hope to find –

some things aren’t meant

to understand,

may you find life’s natural flow

and welcome the seagull’s whisper

to your soul.

■

Keep shining brightly,

Evana.

Nature Calls Us, Are We Listening?

evanalife74's avatarevanalife74 Leave a comment

Nature has a subtle way

to call on us in its own unique way.

Have you seen that baby deer

that poked its head out of the clear?

Time stands still –

when we allow ourselves to chill.

Photo by Willian Justen de Vasconcellos on Pexels.com

These are gentle reminders

that we can still be wonder finders –

to not lose track and not forget

to take time to relax;

not strain your mind to its max

and take off those blinders.

In this world where there are plenty lost,

let’s be finders of a new world

in which people

learn and grow kinder,

and decrease the “never minders.”

It’s important that you stay true

and whatever words you say are you,

you need to come to realize

it’s good to cut lies and drop the disguise

no need putting on a facade,

hate to tell you there’s no prize.

It’s good to learn to work things through

which takes much time, it’s hard to do –

but nothing good is done is haste

time spent to grow is not times’ waste.

…

…The other day,

a white squirrel passed my way

as I was almost to work

to begin my day…

There was a white squirrel

at the edge of the street –

by the tree line

where our eyes me(e)t:

“don’t see me as a threat,

stay aware of your mindset,

you won’t be late don’t sweat,

it’s good to get lost for a sec

you won’t regret,

life is not a game of roulette:

going on a jet, getting out of debt,

what is it that you net?, instead

listen to the simple sounds of nature

they will take you away on any day.

This encounter was free, no need to pay!”

As I’m wading through my stacks of “to-do’s,”

I stop to be calm, it’s like heavenly balm:

I realize I enjoy being part of the news –

my passion of poetry, comedy and the “un-blues,”

is certainly my deepest desire it’s true!

Don’t wait for a blue moon

to listen more and become more attune –

forever it won’t stay the month of June:

Go ahead and use these gentle signs

as a way to take you back

to a much quieter time;

a time when clocks still seemed to go slow,

a time when people were valued much more,

a time when folks would go out the door

because they know there is more

to explore outdoors.

…Enjoy your open doors!

Love, Peace and Kindness,

Evana.

One, Two – Try New…

img_4395-1

Hi everyone,

💖

So many, many things

there are to get done

in life.

I hope you’re enjoying these writings

as much as I am writing them.

Writing is an outlet,

this is definitely true for me.

How about you?

How do you feel about writing?

Feel free to check out my post:

“Why it’s always right to write”

and leave a comment anytime.

EvanaLife is all about sharing your gift,

as I share my stories and poems

I aim to uplift and empower

people to seek higher thoughts

and not give up hope

because as long as there’s still air

to breathe,

we can conquer anything.

I am in your corner

on your side

and in your court

looking forward to hearing

from You!

Hope is what holds us up,

but without faith

hope is like a table

without legs.

Love holds us together –

the glue that keeps

hope and faith.

Kindness makes a person

human. It teaches us to be

humble and patient.

Stop, be patient,

listen and

hear.

Photo by Angela Chacu00f3n on Pexels.com

Steep your life in love –

live in faith

and cook in some kindness.

Things can’t always go our way

and if we carry the expectation

that they will,

we will be disappointed –

throughly.

It doesn’t hurt to be kind

unfortunately, it’s easier

to just think of ourselves

and our own selfish minds.

The less you have

the more you enjoy

the little things

that were always there

but overlooked

from daily haste –

a wasted race of chase.

Photo by TMS Sam on Pexels.com

Time is always right

to hug someone tight,

pray at night

and share your light.

Don’t shun the unknown.

Life is full of them.

Keep your chin up –

and smile on.

You might be surprised

to discover magic there

just take that first step –

what’s the worst that

could happen?

Photo by Dana Tentis on Pexels.com

Once you start

you will amazed

that you can’t stop yourself

because after one step

comes the next

and you might think

“no way” but Oh, YES!

Photo by Muhamad Lutfi on Pexels.com

One step…

and you’ve moved more

than where you were before

there will be another door

open for you to explore…

encore, encore…

Two steps…

more ahead

there’s much more to life

than just getting out of bed,

imagine a life

that excites you to your core

and makes your spirit roar!

Three step…

this is real –

the life you wanted and didn’t know

you come alive with zeal,

it’s surreal

unbelievable but makes you kneel,

no longer need to conceal

your passion and how you feel.

Life is beautiful.

Everything worthwhile

takes time and many a mile

and nothing does well in haste.

Haste is a waste

and leaves a bitter taste.

Friends, family and loved ones

need embraced –

love one another

and seek grace.

If you heard the word

of the smallest bird,

then you know –

you deserve.

You deserve loving people

in your life

patient, friendly and kind,

the people who care and uplift

support and listen –

the ones that see your shine.

You deserve

everything your heart

is dreaming of –

for you know his help

comes from above!

Celebrate You as You are!

Be blessed and Keep shining brightly,

Evana.

🙌 Light of Life, Light up the World 🌎

evanalife74's avatarevanalife74 Leave a comment

Light of life

light of the world,

is stronger than the dark,

is alive even with a spark.

The spark is always there,

some chose to dim it

but when you reach it

there’s no limit –

it goes and goes

and goes and grows.

We tend to keep it to ourselves

but deep within we know.

Tune in, be up, step up –

there’s no space for lows,

too much to do –

too many rows

of beautiful life

we can sow!

It’s true what they say

that we’re more afraid

of shining and progressing

then we are of stressing

and addressing what’s depressing.

What a miracle we live in,

all of life’s a blessing.

With love,

Evana.
