Whether you are working in retail, or a customer shopping, when you share a smile or laugh it can really make someone’s day. Try to make it a point to give a smile or kind word during this busy Holiday season when a lot of people are over worked, rushing, or stressed out.  It will help them and you.  🙂

Reflections on Prayer

Shadorma poem about prayer--prayer plant photo
Original Poetry and Photograph by Leona J. Atkinson ©2014

While caring for my Prayer Plant I noticed some of its leaves were a healthy looking, large and bold green, but others were weak looking, curled up or shriveled up brown.  This got me to thinking upon my prayers which are sometimes large and bold, other times weak or filled with doubt, and even at times non-existent.  Thus, this poem was inspired and created as I was reflecting.
