      1. Joan, you sum up how to live a balanced life!
         I appreciate reading the philosophy of profound simplicity. 👍❤️

         1. Dear Joan Reid,
            Thank you for writing! I am glad that you think my words show how to live a balanced life! So sweet of you to say that and that it was the philosophy of profound simplicity! We are bombarded with so many voices in our world, it helps me to handle it better if I can put things in a place sort of like a jigsaw puzzle but realize that life’: pieces. We don ‘t know how it all fits together, but somehow it does when we can today; rest a little, play a little, work a little and love (Yourself and others) a lot.

            May you always find a way to simplify
            Believe in you with unwavering fait
            Never Give Up

2. Yes, Joan, the last bit is the most important. If only we could replace this all this insane hate with love!

   1. Dear Bob,
      Thank you for writing! Thank you for being a faithful subscriber to my blog for almost 15 years. You are right. Loving a lot is the most important of all these things. And remembering that means loving yourself a lot so you can love others a lot. It goes in a circle!!!

      Do something fun for you today!
      Never Give Up

3. Thank you, Joan! I agree with Bob saying if we could only replace this insane hate with love.

   1. Dear Melanie,
      Thank you for writing. You and Bob Hope for
      the same thing. Just think what a difference loving a lot means for us and the world we touch our love goes through this earth and beyond!!!

      Love a lot
      Do something fun for you today
      Never Give Up

4. We are called to turn the other cheek and that is our action, to boldly respond to hate, not in an action in kind but showing love to our neighbor.

   1. Dear Diana,
      Thank you for writing! Oh my goodness! It is so good to hear from you. You are right. We are called by God to turn the other cheek, to forgive, to give love in return. Loving both yourself and them. That shows true wisdom, doesn’t it? Being aware that you could choose to do an eye for an eye, but instead you are intentionally choosing love. That shows the love of God within you and one of the many reasons he loves you so much is because you share it with others.

      Believe in You!
      You are amazing!
