A Box full of Darkness

Box full of darkness means a time full of trials and problems but time will come that this darkness will help you become better person, teaches you many lessons of life to have a better future. ~ Rona Peñaranda 

Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash. ~ Louis Aragon

In life you can go through hardships with someone and in the end be full of bitterness and resentments (darkness) but buried deep inside this box is a wealth of insight, compassion, forgiveness sand self-awareness. When you dig deeply enough to reach this layer, you’ve found the real buried treasure, the true gift that’s hidden in the darkness. You end up being a better person because of it. ~ Brigitte Nicole

10 Signs You've Found The One

I have come up with this list of 10 signs that you’ve found true love. We agree that all 10 exist in our romance. And, as further evidence, very few of the 10 were present in our previous serious relationships.

1. Fireworks Explode

Some people say you don’t need an initial spark of sexual attraction to form a satisfying and enduring romantic relationship. We disagree. When you first meet your person, there ought to be Fourth of July-worthy fireworks.

Sure, the flames of passion won’t keep a relationship going strong forever. You’ll need mutual respect, compassion, and great communication. But physical connection provides a powerful platform upon which to build intimacy and trust.

If There Is Someone You Can’t Get Out Of Your Mind

If there's someone you cannot get out of your mind, whisper a prayer for them,that's how God moves.

When someone’s name crosses your mind. Stop for a moment and say a little prayer. You never know that they may need the help from an angel at that moment. ~ Marie Spencer 

There are experiences in life we look back on and experience grief. We do make mistakes and the consequences can be very painful. The pain is part of the healing. Slowly we reach inside and build the strength and courage to move forward with trust that armed with our new wisdom and growth we will face the future in such a manner that we will attract new and better experiences and people into our lives. The past cannot be changed but it never has to be re-lived. ~ Troy

People are on your mind for one reason or another. Some to whisper a prayer for them, some to send positive thoughts their way, and some because they’re thinking about you, too. ~ Cynthia Webb
