An Interview with David Testo (Gay Soccer Player)

Broken Open

Heartbreak opens onto the sunrise. For even breaking is opening and I am broken I am open. Broken to the new light without pushing in open to the possibilities within pushing out. See the love shine in through my cracks. See the light shine out through me. I am broken. I am open. I am broken open. See the love light shining through me, shining through my cracks, through the gaps. My spirit takes journey, my spirit takes flight, could not have risen other wise. And I am not running I am choosing. Running is not a choice from the breaking. Breaking is freeing. Broken is freedom. I am not broken. I am free.

Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ (by ladsdontdoballet)

It won’t play on my blog, but click on it and watch it on YouTube.  It will make you want to dance (and fall in love with this little cutie!)

Change

Growth hurts because change isn’t easy; that’s why they call it growing pains.

- Tony Gaskins

But what if you decided that making change is easy? Holding on to old patterns of behavior and old beliefs is much easier than making a conscious decision to change and change may indeed be very painful. But unless you change, you will not invite anything new or good into your life.

So, if you feel you’ve got stuck, it is time to find out what is holding you back.

The greatest inspiration is the deadline.

Bloom Right Here

No matter what season I find myself in today, bloom right where I am. It doesn’t mean I’m going to always be in that situation. And, it doesn’t mean I shouldn’t dream big or plan for the future. It simply means that I can choose to be my best and accept the best around me on the way forward. Always remember, bloom where I’m planted and let God work in and through me everyday.

Fear can keep us up all night long, but faith makes one fine pillow.

From Maya Angelou

“I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side, be an advocate for myself and others like me.

If I do that well enough, then I’ll be able to look after someone else. But I have to look after myself first, I know that some people think that’s being selfish, I think that’s being self-full.”
