The Light is There

There is ALWAYS a light at the end of the tunnel.
You just have to feel your way through the tunnel
to get to the golden pot at the end of the rainbow,
which sometimes falls over the tunnel making it
hard to see.

It's Time to Love Again

When you find someone you want to know on a more personal level, for obvious reasons, let them know. You never know how they feel unless you say something. Don't use the excuses of your past to keep you from being truely happy in your future. Don't make the new person pay for the mistakes of those in your past. They are in your past for a reason. Time to love and to be loved.

Never Say Good-bye

We are born into this word with the innocence that can't be matched by anything else in this world. We come to this world, looking to learn. We come to this world, looking to make that impact on those we come in contact with during our life. Do we really know the true impact we can have on people around us?

We walk this Earth, living our lives to the best of our abilities. We take on the tests that life has for us. We conquer those tests, and then we move on. Is there any easy way for us to go on without our loved ones' physical selves being present for us. The answer is no.

We long for their presence. We want to be able to physically hold them and talk to them. We remember the fun times we physically had with them. We remember the long hours on the phone when we first met them. The long hours of walks on the beach or that special place you shared are embedded in our memory for eternity.

All of this, as important as it seems to be at the time, isn't in fact the true reason we miss our loved ones so much. It isn't the physical body that made us love and fall in love with those that mean so much to us. We didn't love them just because they had that radiant smile or bedroom eyes, but rather for the soul that used the physical body as a vessel to get around this earthly plain.

Remember,as you go through times of what seems to be a time of loss, it is only a time for transition. We transition from one form to another. We are always the same soul. We just use the physical body for transportation. Once our transportation breaks down, it is time to transition back to our natural state of being.

Remember, we are all spiritual beings having a human experience. Allow yourself to miss the physical love of our lives, but please never forget that that soul is never gone and that is the true love of your life. It is never a good-bye, but rather a, "See you later and I love you always."

This note was inspired by a beautiful couple who have nothing but true love between them. They are the bright lights that bless this world. That is something no one will ever change.

Today Is One of Those Days

Today is one of those days that I look back on my life, and think about those that have meant the most to me, but are not here on this earthly plain anymore. I think of those that have made a huge positive impact on those around them. I think about those that have never thought they meant so much to anyone, when in reality, they meant the world to me.

When I think of today, I think of my daddy, Bernard John Lupinacci. Today, June 6, 2010, is the 13 year anniversary of Daddy's graduation to The Other Side / Heaven. My dad was a man that everyone loved. They didn't have a reason not to. He was always helping people, even if that meant lending an ear to vent to, or a shoulder to cry on.

He may not have been perfect in everyone's mind, but he was perfect to me. No one human being is perfect, but my dad had the heart and dedication of a lion to his pride, and no one could change that. His priorities consisted of nothing but his kids, and making sure we had what we needed to be happy. It wasn't a fancy house or the best clothes, rather it was his love and devotion to us and making sure that our basic needs were met, while never forgetting that we were his reason for breathing.

Life was hard, heck it still is, but I could never forget the long hours my dad put into work, as did my mother, just to make sure we had food to eat, clothes on our back, and a roof over our heads. He made sure he spent quality time with us any chance he got. My fondest memory of Daddy was dancing around the living room with him while perched on his shoes. He would twirl me around like a "ballerina". I was the princess, dancing with my king.

There were times that I got into trouble because of things my brother would do. I used to be so mad, but as I got older, I saw those times in a different light. Looking back. I see that everything we went through, everything we were told to do or not to do, was a lesson for us to learn. These are lessons that although I have had to sometimes learn the hard way, I still learned them. These are lessons that one day, I will be able to teach my kids. These are lessons that I will be able to say to my kids, "I had to learn them, and if your grandpa was here, he would tell you the same thing. How do I know, because he told them to me when I was your age."

To this day, I remember the values, he instilled in me. To this day, I remember all of the rules he told me on how to be the best woman I could be. To this day, I remember, my daddy!

There Is Always A Pot Of Gold

There is ALWAYS a light at the end of the tunnel.

You just have to feel your way through the tunnel

to get to the golden pot at the end of the rainbow,

which sometimes falls over the tunnel making it

hard to see. ~ Stacy Lupinacci
