What is GoodTrueBeautiful in your life today?
To My Daughter Alyssa
Tone-deaf life banged out chords on me.
Then you came.
Smelling sweet and one smile, one note of your laughter, inspired a true life symphony!!

My daughter died from bone cancer when she was 15 years old. One year later we found out that we were expecting not just one baby but two! I asked God many times why....Then one day after visiting the cemetary, I came home broken in spirit, I opened the door to find two beautiful smiling faces looking at me. I said, " God, I know why." They ease the pain everyday.
This poem was inspired by your beautiful perfume and packaging. Sitting at my desk I saw it and opened it. The packaging is so beautiful. I opened it and just stared at it. Then I sprayed the perfume and their was just an ecstasy! It is simply beautiful.
Life will give us the perfect chance,
To decide the purpose of our circumstance.
A doorway appears for us to see
Presenting a gift--an enormous opportunity.
Behind it lies a gift so sweet,
We'll experience the feeling of being complete.
He calls for us, but do we hear?
The Voice which says: "I am near".
We must decide--enter or not?
For the spirit must grow or begin to rot.
Courage to go forward is what it takes,
To enter the doorway simply for God's sake.
For if we do we shall see
A symbol of what we're meant to be.
Love which comes by following the Divine,
Brings the peace which surpasses all of time.
Finding this product which is also the name of my mother. Although we are apart, when I wear ForeverLily I will feel she is with me always.
" The Rumi poem I read this morning just after rising, just before my children crawled into bed with me smelling their heads, breathing in their possibility.
The linen-white swan flapping her mighty wings as she skates across the sunlit pond.
The forsythia buds, the blooming pale croci and daffodils, the mystery and abundance of spring...of life
And love...always love wonder for all things, seen and unseen, and for darkness so I may appreciate light."
What is good, true and beautiful about my life today is my beautiful baby girl that wakes me up in the morning babbling in baby talk while climbing all over me as she discovers this new world. Every day she finds joy in items I take for granted: shoes, phones, tupperware lids, etc. When I see her play, I pause from my busy day and watch her or play with her and realize how beautiful my life is.
