“In order to complete
our amazing life journey successfully,
it is vital that we turn
each and every dark tear
into a pearl of wisdom,
and find the blessing in every curse.”
- Anthon St. Maarten
Consider how a pearl begins as an irritant
in the softness of an oyster.
May today's tears and troubles transform
into pearls of wisdom and compassion.
Over time, in time, may all the sorrows,
all the unresolved issues of the past,
reveal their blessings,
enrich us deeply,
and heal us fully.
With love,
Charlene
THE FIFTH GIFT IS HOPE.
Through each passage and season
may you trust the goodness of life.
