TRUST GOD ONE DAY AT A TIME! &
“PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! ”

Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of the Christ risen...Mother Teresa

BELIEVE
To believe is to know that every day is a new beginning.It is to trust that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true.To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds,To know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon.To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,The innocence of a child’s eyes and the beauty of an aging hand,for it is through their teachings we learn to love.To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us.When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.To believe is to know we are not alone,That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen,And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.If only we believe.

St. Ignatius of Loyola

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, All I have and call my own.

You have given all to me. To you, Lord, I return it.

Everything is yours; do with it what you will. Give me only your love and your grace, that is enough for me.

Cheap Chic: Consignment Stores


What a great little store my Mom discovered and took me last week when I went to visit her . It’s call The Secret Garden consignment store .
This gorgeous store will remind you why you’re glad to be a girl. It’s fancy, frilly and romantic, full of ruffles, lace and luxury. The store treasures include accents for the home, such as Victorian lampshades, vintage stained glass, small hand-painted furniture and embellished linens, among many other things. This is a great place to find great cute clothes for women, some are new or gently used. You’ll also want to pamper yourself with jewelry, vintage-style garden hats, lush robes and much more. This is a beautiful, clean, and organized store. I thought I'd share these photos from this fabulous shop located in Deerfield, Florida.

Oh dear Virginia, I had to come back to let you know how I enjoyed the poem you left for me on my blog... I could picture you and I, searching the secrets of Autumn, laughing, seeking the joys of the season and its magical colors, tastes and smells... Yes, sweet friend, let's go down the road together, you and I. :)

Hugs

That is a lovely consignment store! Everything is truly pretty and displayed so nicely.
I wonder whether you found something that you bought for yourself?
That was a nice outing with your mother. Everything looked so tempting in that store.
Have a nice evening.
