Throw Caution To The Wind!


+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
Throw caution to the wind;
leap from cliff with inner faith.
Trust in your abilities,
for you are mighty ~not a wraith.
If perchance you doubt yourself,
and do plummet towards the ground,
know that you'll not perish,
for you have angels all around.
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

Dear fellow Pipster who requested that I repost this poem, it warms my heart beyond measure that this poem that you rediscovered in your special keepsake box, was able to give you the strength that you had needed at that time.

God bless you and any others who may be helped with my humble poetic offering.

Love, Light, and the Angels!

Ah, would that I could, but then again, I must ask, should I?  Enjoyed this very much.  And who knows . . . without risk, where then is the reward?

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Susan ~

I was more cautious in my younger days than I am now. I trust my intuition and the divine guidance I receive and toss my 'halo'
into many rings that I would previously have found frightening and intimidating.

I do things now more with a wing and a prayer, than cautiously weighing all the pros and cons of a particular situation. So many opportunities were lost to me because of my fears and hesitations.

We don't grow when we enclose ourselves in self-limiting little boxes! There's a great big beautiful world out there! I've grown in leaps and bounds since I threw my fears out the window! ~ well, at least most of the time!

Ah, E.A., good advice and I'm working on it.  This growth thing, though, it can be rather painful at times.

Susan ~

If something is worth having, it's worth working for ~ and ofttimes, it is quite a struggle! ~ but personally, I have never regretted the pain that brought me such wonderful gains in my life!

Work with passion! Play with passion! Learn with passion! Live with passion. Love with passion. Then you will live long and prosper!

Loving hugs,

Martie ~

Take that leap of faith! Believe in yourself for you are capable of doing and being anything you so desire ~ if you want it with your whole heart, mind, body and soul! Miracles DO happen.

~ and remember, the angels are around you and just waiting for you to ask them to help you.

Loving hugs,

(smiles) Yay, and every young child always is looked over by an angel when he or she is sleeping! I believe it with all my heart because I used to be the scared little boy who prayed...and the angels always listened, yay! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, this can bring comfort and solace to anyone's heart, I'm sure this friend who requested its re-post feels a heart smile too, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
