Whether you glide or fly,

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

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

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…

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?

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.

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.

Which Shoes Shall I Choose?

evanalife74's avatarevanalife74 Leave a comment

Which Shoes Shall I choose?

Which plan do I follow?

Should I just pick a pair,

do I dare?

 

They say if you walk a mile in another’s,

you learn to care.

 

Opening up to other’s views

can be like stars that spike –

radiating from bright light.

It can help loose ties bind

and restlessness of minds –

by stepping into shoes of those ill-defined.

 

They say if you walk a mile…

 

Three sides to every story,

the truth from each is somewhat skewed.

It is a human trait, but time to clean the slate

and change our world anew.

no matter what’s on your plate,

peace of mind awaits.

 

We’re all the same right from the start

and it’s never too late to take our weight

and let the pressure deflate

love is in our fate,

peace of mind awaits.

Can you relate

to wanting to please others

trying to create

the mold they’re desiring

not welcomed to debate?

 

Instead of filling someone else’s shoes;

walk in your own, it’s not rude

no need to complicate, no need to change

your mood to rude in a high magnitude

 

They say if you walk a mile…

 

Instead of die while trying

eventually we’re left realizing

it’s up to us finding

what makes us us and

there’s no need for hiding.

 

If not looked within

to find ourselves redesigning,

we may stay stuck in other’s shadows

never quite shining.

 

Enjoy what you do,

do what you enjoy!

Go ahead and let it annoy

those who have no reason to employ

their conflicted minds of your perceived joy.

 

Blaze your own trail

path of fire –
find your dearest desire

and take your journey higher.

 

Blaze your own trail,

clear your own path,

no need to be a wiz at math,

don’t question, stop stressin’

the world needs your expression.

Anytime you come and go,

enter and leave –

make it count and

make it heard,

leave an impression,

share your good word

soon you’ll have this world stirred.

 

Make it an obsession

through confession

and always keep addressing

that what’s stressing.

It’s not important what’s in your possession,

but it is to freshen your lesson

in perception.

Set a goal, one at a time –

keep a meaningful purpose in mind,

find some friends you can trust,

don’t let your passions turn to rust.

 

Let it out, make a plan

you surely know you can

it’s time to strategize and realize –

keep your eyes on the prize.

Keep shining bright with all your might,

Evana.

Connect The Dots…

We are all connected

like the bubbles in a glass –

we are all affected

by a smile that lights the world,

we are all elected

to show up to our stage of life –

to take a stand,

to fiercely get out

of our own quicksand.

To get out and find –

ways to do good,

speak life

and be kind.

When it’s time to reflect don’t regret

your glitches and miss-takes

we need them to grow,

never lose respect –

of the one you know.
