~
As I wandered, as I pondered (in my time away from blogging) I thought of each of you out there, in this wide world of ours. But more than that … I could see and feel you in my mind’s eye. And so I wrote this for you:
~
Echoes of Heartsong
The beat
The rhythm
It’s there
And I’m listening.
~
The sound so piercingly sweet
It must surely be the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
~
Singing for you, singing from you, but mostly – of you!
Of the “who” you are.
How glorious and magnificent you are!
Did you know that? Did you?
~
Your heart song echoes through my being
telling me
all I need to know and …
Even more
As your’s is joined and shared by so many others
and their heartsongs.
~
~
So Create, we await your creations.
Be Passionate, that’s what life burns bright with,
Be Strong, you are among friends,
~
Be Brave, rest and heal now.
know and be assured.
You are not alone,
You are loved!
~

Hello everyone, I’m glad to be back, I will be spending the next few days mostly visiting, but also a little bit of posting too. I missed you!

Very very nice writing. You must be the infamous Penny that Roxi keeps telling me about! She just adores you!

Thank you Rich. She feels the same about you. Not sure about the infamous part, just me doing my “thing”. Hopefully making a positive difference for a few people out there. And a special thank you for who you are, how you are, and for the loving caring difference you are making right now!

My pleasure Penny. From what I can see you are definitely making a difference. Roxi mentioned that you are open to emailing me for updates on her. If interested, let me now.

You’re very welcome. I don’t know your address so you’ll have to establish communications first. Roxi didn’t have a chance to give it to me first I’m afraid.

welcome back! And what a comeback, I checked in here quite a few times in case you’d had a change of heart. I have missed your posts more than the England football team miss penalties (and that’s quite a lot!).
pennycoho
February 26, 2013 at 4:41 pm
Wow, even being compared to the English football team is an honor in and of itself SteJ, I will try to be worthy of it!
StetotheJ
February 27, 2013 at 10:36 am
You, though have a sense of style for which the football team has lacked since 1996.
pennycoho
February 27, 2013 at 10:41 am
Hey maybe they’ll take me on as their coach!
StetotheJ
February 27, 2013 at 10:42 am
That would awesome, also they would probably offer you at least £3,000,000 for a few years so you would quite literally be quids in.

You know what’s funny is I had these friends (male) way into baseball. I used to call the game based on the emotions I saw on the faces of different players. I was usually right. It made my knowledgeable friends go crazy! The money sounds about right, lol!

Well I think we would do a whole lot better a World Cup with you at the helm. I can’t imagine you stalking up and down ranting, although it would indeed be a fascinating sight.
pennycoho
February 27, 2013 at 10:57 am
No, I’d inspire them into getting the job done!

I could feel the happiness that dances forth in your words, and i can also feel the renewed energy that you sent our way…what a blessing to receive to start my monring…it is a most wonderful treasure to receive, because I know it comes from your heart! Thanks for sending your heart’s smile! God bless!

Many sincere thanks Wendell. Yes I am renewed. I think all of us occasionally need to “refresh” our own emotional and physical “life’s pages” so we can continue to learn, grow, and share. From my heart to yours I wish you very well! xx
