Simply BE - an excerpt
Page 87
Some of the words in this book are borrowed from the Holy Bible; a few from Desiderata. Most of the words in this book are my own. But where did I first hear these words? How did I come to choose them as ones I wish to share with you? The answer to these questions is, "I am inspired by memory of my mother, and of my sister. .......... These two women taught me that it is not only possible, it is also necessary, to "simply be" - be who I really am.
Page 89 The most important thing I hope to illustrate is that we don't have to be perfect. We do the best we can with what we have and give thanks.
Page 3 Sometimes we forget that we are born into this world as human beings. We forget because too much of our time is spent as human do'ers.
We do this; we do that; and then we do some more.
Sometimes we become involved in doing so much we forget who we are.
Simply BE is a reminder to all of us that it is possible to be who we really are.

BE HONEST
Be honest.
Always let one hand
know
what the other hand is doing.
Extend a hand to others.
Be open-handed,
Open-minded,
And, by being honest
with yourself,
Keep an open heart.
Be honest
In your business dealings
Know that your steps
are guided
as you climb
the ladder of success.
You won't fall off the ladder
if
each step you take
is an honest one.
Be honest
with your friends
"Speak your truth quietly
and clearly"
knowing that your friends
listen
with loving ears.
