This poem, Desiderata, written in 1927 by the American writer Max Ehrman, has been a guiding light for many. It was discovered in an old St. Paul’s Church in Baltimore and has since resonated deeply with readers around the world. I keep it on the wall of my podcast set to remind me of what truly matters and to guide me through tough times. Let’s take a moment to reflect on its profound messages.


Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.


Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.


Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.


Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.


You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.


Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.


With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.


Found in Old Saint Paul’s Church – Baltimore


Desiderata concludes with a powerful reminder: “With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.” Life, despite its imperfections, is inherently beautiful. Striving for happiness and maintaining a cheerful disposition can help us navigate life’s challenges with grace and resilience.


Whenever I feel down or conflicted, I return to this poem for comfort and guidance. It helps realign my mindset and reinforces my resolve to continue my journey. I hope this reading has lifted your spirits and provided you with some solace. Remember, the universe is unfolding as it should, and our journey is here to teach us valuable lessons.

The Guiding Light in the Storm


Inline image


Story of Rebecca: One dark and stormy night, Rebecca was driving home from work, struggling to see through the torrential rain. The storm was so severe that she could barely make out the road ahead. Suddenly, her car hit a patch of water and began to hydroplane, spinning out of control. Just as she thought she was going to crash, a warm, calming presence enveloped her, and she heard a gentle voice say, “You’re safe, just let go.” Trusting the voice, Rebecca took her hands off the steering wheel, and miraculously, the car came to a stop without hitting anything.

Later, Rebecca realized that the voice she heard and the presence she felt could only have been her guardian angel. The encounter left her feeling deeply comforted and protected, knowing that she was never truly alone, even in the most frightening moments.

Takeaway: This story highlights how angels can intervene in moments of danger, providing guidance and protection when we need it most. It serves as a reminder to trust in the unseen forces that watch over us, especially in times of crisis.
This story reminds of the time that I was in a car accident  upon impact as I was in the passengers side as we were turning off the highway the driver thought they could beat the on coming traffic. NOT! The oncoming red car could not stop on the curve and the side I was on was crushed in. At that moment of impact I could feel the impact but in seconds the feeling i got was like someone out side the car taking away the impact of the impact of  the crash the paramedic said that I should have be killed  and even the second car in the lineup coming towards there is no chance for the passenger to walk away, but I did .I have had a few encounters before that as well  and after. So I am so Blessed!
So I repeat ....
Takeaway: This story highlights how angels can intervene in moments of danger, providing guidance and protection when we need it most. It serves as a reminder to trust in the unseen forces that watch over us, especially in times of crisis.
May Angels surround you and protect you my friend ."So, yes, I believe in angels, absolutely, do"
Love and Blessings

One evening I was going back from a supermarket

One evening I was going back from a supermarket. As I have approached my car, I noticed that some person came and stood beside me. He was the one that could be considered as a bum. It seemed that he had no car, no home and no job. I expected that he will ask me for money, but he did not do that, he only said: „Your car is very nice“.

After several moments of silence I have replied: „Thanks“, and then the inner voice told me: „Ask him if he needs help“. After a short hesitation I have asked him, if he needs any help. His respond was astonishing, I will never forget those simple three words that I heard from him: „Don‘t we all?”

It was a true discovery to me. I needed help. Although I had money and a place to sleep, but I recognized that I needed help too. Then I have opened my wallet and gave him enough money to get a meal and some shelter for a day.

Suddenly I understood that no matter how much money, achievements, luxury things do we have, we all need help. And on the other hand, no matter how poor you are, how many material problems you have, you still might offer your help to others, you still might be giving. Even it‘s just a nice word, you can give that and it can be priceless to other person.

Maybe that man was just a homeless stranger, but to me he was more than that. Maybe he was sent by the Highest Loving Power personally to me, to open my eyes, to show me that there is one thing, among all other values and achievements, which is very important and irreplaceable for each and every person. Actually, it is a true gift and it is called Giving.
