The stranger within

The below list is not in order of priority, they are all equally important to me :) Happy reading! Start every day with a grateful heart  -  nothing will give you as much joy as being thankful for what you already have instead of being miserable thinking about what you don't have. Gratitude is the doorway to bringing abundance into your life. Don't compare yourself to others  -  we're all on our own journey in this life and each responsible for that life. Live it by just doing you. Do you to the best of your ability. You do you and I'll do me ;) Don't hold on to the hurt of a past relationship for too long  -  hold on long enough and you'll hold on just to ruin any potential relationship. Cry until your tears dry but don't cry too long. Every relationship is allotted  only  so many tears before you have to put on your big girl pants and move on. Remember that you are born a complete person. You don't need anyone to complete you. And when ...

The smell reminded me of early morning family breakfast in that big old kitchen. It smelt like home  Kade Hut Taking a trip with a crazy best friend, meant the arrival was slightly blurry due to too much bubbly in-flight but that didn't stop that childhood memory from seeping into my consciousness. We were shown to our mud hut by the lovely retreat manager Suzi. ( Btw, she reminds me so much of my Aunt Lydia (Lala) that I had even more child likeness resonate with me during the stay.)  The first 2 days were a blur. It's amazing how much sleep o...

The more you give and share, the more you get back from the universe. But this card also means that you should also let others share with you. When people give to you, say Thank you and be happy to have people in your l...

Because well, I thought that my blog is all about writing poetry but then I realized, it's my blog! I can do whatever I want with it. And since the name is "The Stranger Within", same as my photo album on Facebook about my Angel Readings, Crystals and Reiki; I decided to start posting some of that on here as well! I'm not done living yet, so I'm not done learning yet. Until the end, there will forever be The Stranger Within....

He plays the saddest songs  On his guitar His lonely heart poured into Every note  His vacant smile His empty eyes His lost heart Searching for the melody He plays the saddest songs  That pulls your heart He makes you stare He makes you listen No bass No beat Just loneliness As he plays the saddest song On his guitar
