Rich or poor, we all have the same measures of time. We have twenty-four hours in a day, sixty minutes to each our, and sixty seconds to each minute. Once used, we can’t recapture it. Fill the time you have with love, kindness, and compassion. Fill each moment with making today better and building toward a better tomorrow.

🍎 Today’s Health Tip ~ Did You Eat a Banana Today?
Bananas are Great for You
One large banana is about 8- to 9-inches long and equal to one serving of fruit. It has about 120 calories and 490 milligrams of potassium. That’s 19% of a woman’s daily potassium needs and 15% of a man’s. This nutrient can remove sodium from your body and relax blood vessel walls, which helps manage blood pressure. The golden fruit is also a good source of vitamin B6, which is essential for your immune system, nervous system, and brain.
Creating Real Characters
“Create real characters. Make your characters human—give them nervous tics, phobias, a funny way of messing up clichés. Some of the most memorable stories have three-dimensional characters that readers can feel strongly about in some way. For example: A heroine who has to overcome her deep-seated fears before she can get what she wants is much more appealing than one who just breezes through without struggle. The former’s conflict is relatable (who isn’t held back by their fears?), therefore her victory will be that much more satisfying.”
🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Face to Face
Face to Face
Tagore
Day after day, O lord of my life,
shall I stand before thee face to face.
With folded hands, O lord of all worlds,
shall I stand before thee face to face.
Under thy great sky in solitude and silence,
with humble heart shall I stand before thee face to face.
In this laborious world of thine, tumultuous with toil
and with struggle, among hurrying crowds
shall I stand before thee face to face.
And when my work shall be done in this world,
O King of kings, alone and speechless
shall I stand before thee face to face.
🤗 A Better Life ~ Let Your Love Shine
Let your love light shine. The world needs more shine than clouds. The world needs more healing than hurt.
