I am free to be me.
Removing the binds
that I have held myself.
It is a journey of lessons
and times of doubt but
I stay committed to the path.
There is more to me that I show.
Can I show it to you? Ready?
Each day that I honor me
I am lighter, happier.
I wrapped my arms around
all those part of me
that I love and didn’t like.
There may be others
that don’t understand
or even like me
but if I am strong

Dreams

Poetry
I had a dream once.
Not quite sure where it went -
one minute it was here
and the next it was gone.
I go about my life.
Every once in a while,
I think about that dream
that I once had.
I wonder if I had done this
or maybe if I had done that,
it could have been different.
Why do I still think about it?
Could it be that I
don't want to let it go?
Or, could it be that my soul,
my heart is gently reminding
me
"Remember when you had
this dream? This idea?"
My soul reminds me
that this drea... Continue reading ...
There is Kindness
Posted by Mary D'Alba on Monday, May 10, 2010,

Poetry
There is kindness in my words.
I use them with love and compassion.
I command open hearts and ears
because I lift people up to the stars.
There is kindness in my thoughts.
I don't stab people in the back.
I reframe my ideas to the positive.
I offer all love and gentleness.
There is kindness in my deeds.
I want to heal and offer support.
I go the extra mile to help a friend
and I expect nothing in return.
There is kindness in my heart.
It is something I express freely.

Free To Someone In Need
Posted by Mary D'Alba on Saturday, May 1, 2010,
In :
Poetry
You may wonder how you can make change. A smile, a hug, a good laugh, it doesn't have to be expensive, it can just be what someone needs feeling better can be free. No money, no riches, no large houses, no fame or fortune can bring you happiness if you don't have it inside. So when you see someone down or a way you can make a difference don't let the opportunity pass you by to make an impact. Offer what you have in your heart and soul and you may find that something that costs nothing is worth all the rich... Continue reading ...
I See The Beauty
Posted by Mary D'Alba on Friday, April 30, 2010,
In :
Poetry
I see the beauty in me,
in all of me, who I am.
Every experience,
every person I have met,
ever lesson I have learned,
have shaped me into me.
I see the beauty in me,
even when I haven't been
at my best or highest,
or when I've hurt or
fallen down on my promises.
I see the beauty in me,
when I have healed,
when I have helped,
when I have done all I can.
Because both sides are me.
I see the beauty in me,
no matter who sees it too,
because it is all of me
that is be... Continue reading ...
Gently Outside My Door
Posted by Mary D'Alba on Wednesday, April 28, 2010,
In :
Poetry
I feel her soft touch,
in the leaves, in the grass,
in the breeze, in the soft rain,
in the sunlight on my skin,
or the moonbeams washing over me.
She speaks to me in silence,
breathing her life into my life
with the wind that sails
across the land with whispers
of my connection to her,
to all of nature, to all other beings,
to the wide open Universe.
I feel her gentle reassurance
in the world and believe that life
is taking the path it needs to take.
I just need to give her all
that I am - g... Continue reading ...

Tomorrow
is another day.
The Sun brightens our
eyes and hearts
with the promise
of a brand new day.
Tomorrow
is another day.
We can leave
the frustration behind
and find the joy in
the most unexpected places.
Tomorrow
is another day.
We can take off the
heaviness of yesterday
and soar with the
hope of a new day.
Tomorrow
is another day.
Who shapes your future?
You do.
And you have a new canvas
to paint your own picture.
Tomorrow
is another day.
Make the most of it.

Enjoy!~
I have found peace in
the quiet of my life in the stars in the sky in the eyes of my

forward once again

I have found peace in my
connection to spirit in my connection to the earth in my
connection to my soul
I have found peace my

Smile
Posted by Mary D'Alba on Saturday, April 17, 2010,
In :
Poetry
All it takes is a smile.
When things seem to be low
a laughter and a smile
brings it back to life.
It doesn't cost anything
but a change in your energy.
You break the frown up
and the smile wins you over.
It's catchy too.
It can't be contained.
Ever try to stifle a smile?
Your face will betray you
and fight you until you let it loose.
You can't help it.
When you smile,
you give a gift.
A gift of happiness and love.
A free gift of joy and
a mood lifter with no side effects.
Is it really so har... Continue reading ...
You Are Truly Loved

In :
Poetry
I wish you could see
yourself
through the eyes that I
see you.
You are amazing, funny,
smart
and I hate to see you
blue.
I see you doubting
yourself,
and I want you to know I
care.
You have been through a
lot
and it wasn't always
fair.
So hold your head up
high,
find your way back to
center,
stand up for yourself,
don't let anyone tell
you they're better.
You are the opinion
that matters,
your life is what you
make of it.
Stop listening to the
other voices
and don't ever q... Continue reading ...
Let Love Flow Through
Posted by Mary D'Alba on Tuesday, March 16, 2010,
In :
Poetry
Love flows through
hearts, hands,
fingers, toes.
Love flows
through
words, looks,
smiles, grins.
Love flows
through
you, me, family,
friends.
Love flows
through
walls, barriers,
hurt, pain.
Love flows
through
challenges,
tests, work, tenacity.
Love cannot be
stopped,
no matter what
the distraction.
Love cannot be
broken,
even if
mishandled.
Love cannot be
warped,
it will go back
into beautiful shape.
Love cannot be
bought or sold,
it can only be
freely given and received.

Compassion Comes From The Heart
Posted by Mary D'Alba on Saturday, March 13, 2010,
In :
Poetry
Compassion comes from the heart.
It opens doors, it heals,
it holds someone in gentle hands
when they are vulnerable.
Compassion comes from the heart.
It brings people together in
impossible, tense situations.
It dissolves the biggest walls.
Compassion comes from the heart.
It can defy logic and reason
because it works on a higher level
and egos have to be quiet.
Compassion comes from the heart.
You may think there is none inside
but even the smallest glimmer
can be found shining so br... Continue reading ...
I Have Found Happiness In My Heart

I have found happiness in my heart.
What an unusual place to find it!
I haven’t seen it there for a long time.
I almost forgot what it felt like.
I have found happiness in my heart.
It’s the place that it should be all along.
I never realized how cold I felt without it.
The warmth reminds me of where I want to be.
I have found happiness in my heart.
The small flame fights to get brighter.
I can feel it chipping away at the ice
And the pieces are melting away.
I have found happiness ... Continue reading ...
You Are Who You Are
Posted by Mary D'Alba on Saturday, February 20, 2010,
In :
Spiritual
You are who you are.
Being someone else doesn't fit you.
So be comfortable in your skin.
Love all of who you are.
Doing that, you inspire others.
How?
You release fear.
You remove the mask.
You bow out of the game.
You are you.
And trust me,
you are spectacular.
Yes, you.
There is nothing you can't do
once you embrace
who you are.
Not sure who you are?
Well, time to get to know
yourself better than ever.
What do you want in life?
What is no longer acceptable?
What are your talents?
Who are ... Continue reading ...
What Can Love Do?
Posted by Mary D'Alba on Sunday, February 14, 2010,
In :
Spiritual
There is love all around in eyes, hearts and hands. The world has lots of potential for love to be part of the plan.
It's free to give and receive, it can turn around the bad, it can heal the hardest hearts and make the sad turn glad.
It takes a lot of risk to love, to send it to all you meet, but once you unleash it wildly it's one of the sweetest treats.
Love brings the lightest feelings, happiness, joy and celebration it has power to move mountains, it can gently change a nation.
So on Cupid's day, when he... Continue reading ...
