LumDimSaying: by Christian D. Larson

“Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best.

Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you!”

–Christian D. Larson

Thank you to JUMP! foundation for introducing me to this ray of inspiration.

LumDimSaying: Father’s Day

Posted: June 20th, 2010 | Author: LumDimSum | Filed under: Personal | Tags: holiday, LumDimSaying | No Comments »

Screen shot 2010-06-20 at 10.55.23 AMfather's day1Fathers are wonderful people
Too little understood,
And we do not sing their praises
As often as we should…

For, somehow, Father seems to be
The man who pays the bills,
While Mother binds up little hurts
And nurses all our ills…

And Father struggles daily
To live up to “HIS IMAGE”
As protector and provider
And “hero or the scrimmage”…

And perhaps that is the reason
We sometimes get the notion,
That Fathers are not subject
To the thing we call emotion,

IMG_0049

Happy Father's Day, Dad!

But he’s so busy every day
In the grueling race of life,
He leaves the sentimental stuff
To his partner and his wife…

But Fathers are just WONDERFUL
In a million different ways,
And they merit loving compliments
And accolade of praise,

For the only reason Dad aspires
To fortune and success
Is to make the family proud of him
And to bring them happiness…

A real life hero,
He’s a guardian and a guide,
Someone that we can count on
To be ALWAYS ON OUR SIDE.

~ by Helen Steiner Rice

LumDimSaying: From ‘A Return to Love’

Posted: May 17th, 2010 | Author: LumDimSum | Filed under: A Day In My Life | Tags: LumDimSaying | No Comments »

A Bit of Inspiration for a Monday Morning:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are we not to be? You are a child of the Earth. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

‐ Marianne Williamson,
A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of a Course in Miracles
