I do not know specifically what you have been battling but I sure do sense a "taking of stock" in yourself and a very positive result which shines with beauty. "Compassion holds my hand"...so many good lines. Well done, as per usual. Wishing you many blessings and strength to continue on with the grace that you have always shown and still do.
Be well,
Kathy

Blimey, stuff the fluff. You're a brill beaut' inside and out. So keep flying butterfly and enjoy all beauty, including that in the mirror.

I love you Lily of Lough Neagh a.k.a C. Dennis-Woosley!!

May you feel hope, peace, love, and know that healing comes soon. God be with you through this trying time, believe that you are loved through your family and friends.
Your inner beauty is what drew me to you and like your poetry. I saw light in it and love most of all.
Hold fast the race of time and love with all your heart and soul.

Hugs my dear friend...
Love you
Teresa

Lily, I share your deep-rooted enthusiasm for the development
of consciousness...I came across it through theosophist HP Blavatsky's
teaching and anthroposophist Rudolf Steiner's work and...access it daily
as a result of my mindfulness meditation...Yes, I transformed...to the "now"
moment of awareness...It helped me to tune into my "self"...
It created my well-being and vast creativity...reduced the stress...
It helped me to find my peace of mind and my inner calm...opened
the infinite-gate of possibilities around me...magic...to be able
to relax...thinking positive thoughts...let my inner-vision
of confidence shine out gentle...Thank you Lily for sharing yours...
place where...love...gratitude 'n prayer...prevail...

Following are few words I've scrabbled for you Lily:

There's an emotion in the hug
that comes from life's challenge
There's a divine in your mind
that knows no bound...'n despair
There's a love in unspoken word
that comes from respect...caring
There's a hand that grabs 'n holds
yours...till the challenge's over
There's your own might...to create
the unseen-inner-mind-magic
that makes a positive-thinking
never stop to amaze...for all
it bends...moves...heals...working for you...Lily!
God Blessings!

A very heartfelt and sincere poem. I must say, "welcome back," and am so glad to see that you are on the mend and in good spirits. I have never known you to be any different than you are now, so I have no comment on any transformation you may have undergone.

Dear Carol:

You will be forever beautiful inside and out... .. .You came into our lives at AD and FB and listened an helped many. None of us are perfect as you know and are willing to change our paths to better ourselves. Life is an ever changing experience...many don't want to change out of fear or they like the way they are. So many don't grow.

Your poem is beautiful,like always. Knowing this is your toughest endeavor and you are a fighter I have no doubt YOU will come out the winner.

Much Love to you, Always

Deborah
