Build Bridges

“Here’s to the bridge-builders, the hand-holders, the light-bringers, those extraordinary souls wrapped in ordinary lives who quietly weave threads of humanity into an inhumane world. They are the unsung heroes in a world at war with itself. They are the whisperers of hope that peace is possible. Look for them in this present darkness. Light your candle with their flame. And then go. Build bridges. Hold hands. Bring light to a dark and desperate world. Be the hero you are looking for. Peace is possible. It begins with us!”

– L.R. Knost

– Artist Elisabeth Ladwig

Blessings to all!

Grown up love

Once you grow up, you realize you don’t want to be crazy in love.

You want to be calm in love,

stable in love, patient in love,

understood in love, safe in love.

Your partner should give you peace of mind and reassurance, not constant little heart attacks and high anxiety.

Soul Mates

I believe that each soul is carefully paired with one true mate in every lifetime. Though love can bloom multiple times, the connection with your soulmate is unparalleled. It’s a profound bond that surpasses love, making this person your heart’s home and life’s anchor. They inspire your passion, nurture your soul, and give you reason to thrive. Finding your soulmate unlocks a deep sense of fulfillment, and together, you embark on life’s journey with purpose and joy.

More important than beauty

“They keep saying that beautiful is something a girl needs to be.

But honestly? Forget that.

Don’t be beautiful.

Be angry, be intelligent, be witty, be klutzy, be interesting, be funny, be adventurous, be crazy, be talented – there are an eternity of other things to be other than beautiful.

And what is beautiful anyway but a set of letters strung together to make a word?

Be your own definition of amazing, always. That is so much more important than anything beautiful, ever.”

Message to Men – Women are Tired

A Wake-Up Call to Men in Relationships!!!!

I don’t want to sound harsh, but this is a message we all need to hear: Our women are tired.

They’re emotionally drained, and many of us don’t even realize that we’re nearing the edge of losing the best thing that’s ever happened to us.

For far too long, they’ve been carrying the weight of emotional labor in our relationships, but that burden is becoming unbearable. The truth is, their patience, forgiveness, and willingness to endure aren’t inexhaustible resources. The well is running dry.

We assume that because they’ve always extended grace, always stood by us, that they always will. But let me make it clear: that’s not guaranteed. There’s a limit to how much one person can give when the other isn’t reciprocating or even acknowledging the imbalance.

This is not a threat, nor is it me pandering. This is a call to action.

We have two choices: level up or level off. If we don’t take this seriously, many of us will soon be facing the reality of a woman who’s reached her limit. The end of grace and mercy.

Take heed. Don’t wait until she’s gone to realize how deeply she’s been hurting, how much she’s been carrying, and how much she’s been hoping—hoping that you’d see her pain and decide to show up in the way she’s needed all along.

Don’t let this be you. Be proactive. Be present. Be committed to doing better. For her. For yourself. For the relationship you could have if you truly step into your role as her equal, her partner, and her emotional support.

We’ve been given countless chances to show up. Let’s not waste another one.

#PermissionToThinkDifferently

P.S. I’ve been accused of pandering to women, and I get it.

I certainly hope your pride won’t convince you that this another “pandering post by Burrus”.

Tidiness

I totally agree. Living in a motel room going on my 3rd year , surgery etc has deterred me from accomplishing my room and bathroom .

After being robbed by cleaners who preformed a very well paid service , made me overly cautious about who is in my space .

Correctly I have help who is creating more open space as things I don’t need are stored as was the initial plan .

Dishes are a problem , they are rinsed and put in buckets to wash . So they are washed in the bath tub which is so low , I only take showers .

I’m 5’10 ” and sink and tub are designed for 5’ers ! My back is not strong for I sleep 😴 still in a medical bed ( very old ) on foam .

I was seeking help for my posture professionally , slept in a bed that I designed for excellent sleep and seeing a dentist for various dental issues made much worse by a highly toxic environment.

I do all I can, with what energy I have and I’m very Thankful 🙏 for the help I have .

I am giving things away ; though in the past I have given away things I needed to assure someone else has 💯🙌

So I’m more careful now and doing the very best that I can .

THE ENERGY OF A HOUSE

A messy messy house is not a happy place to live, it has negative energy and people who live there will be affected. Disorder gets in the way and stagnates, making it very difficult to continue on our ways.

The stress of searching for stuff causes anxiety, depression and confusion, hence the importance of throwing away or donating what we no longer need to give the house a new look. Your home is a reflection of your life, and that implies everything: physical, spiritual, emotional, labor, social and family.

Always remember that there is a place for everything and everything should be in its place, this helps to be in harmony and results in a better flow of energy. You must clean house and get rid of or reform everything that does not make us feel good, to make room for the new.

We shouldn’t accumulate things, but rather remove from home everything that doesn’t contribute, that doesn’t work or that you don’t like anymore. By getting rid of things that don’t contribute anything positive, the house loses negativity, makes space, and becomes much easier to clean, which is something important.

We should surround ourselves with things we enjoy, that bring good memories, that motivate us. Your home is you and your home is you. Our home is a reflection of ourselves, it tells us how we are at that moment, if we are stagnant, surrounded by so many things that contribute nothing and prevent us from seeing or having time for the most important, because you lose time looking stuff getting sorted or dusted

Let’s simplify our life and keep what’s really worthwhile. Lighting up your life makes you feel more free. Making decisions makes you feel more confident and responsible. Giving things makes you feel generous, and by organizing your space, you feel more organized and efficient.

It’s a way to free up space not only physical, but also mental, leaving room for new things to come in. That doesn’t mean throwing away things that remind us who we are, which is also important to have. Memories are the root of who we are, but what we accumulate that gives us nothing, must be removed from our home and our life.

Once you have purified everything you no longer need, you should follow the routine of order and cleaning to maintain a pleasant environment in our home, with habits like:

– Make your bed, the room will definitely look more tidy;

– Wash dishes whenever they arise, to prevent them from accumulating;

– Remove trash daily, to avoid bad smells;

– Put things in its place after use.

– Do daily routine cleaning.

A clean and organized environment conveys joy, peace and balance.

Inside your heart â¤ď¸

Nothing you love is lost. Not really.

Things, people – they always go away, sooner or later. You can’t hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight.

But if they’ve touched you, if they’re inside you, then they’re still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart.
