I found another "jewel" in Grandma Grady's Treasure Chest. Feel free to comment your thoughts.

My mentor, Mr. Robert Hollis shared something that stopped me in my tracks — the word ASK. Simple, right? Yet every great teacher, philosopher, and leader in history knew the power behind that word. When he looked into the writings of legends like Bob Proctor, Les Brown, Tony Robbins, Og Mandino, Napoleon Hill, and Jim Rohn, he found a common thread woven through them all: Those who succeed are those who ask. They ask for guidance. They ask for opportunity. They ask for wisdom. They ask — and then they act. Even Scripture repeats this timeless truth: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” – Matthew 7:7 “You do not have because you do not ask.” – James 4:2 “If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.” – John 14:14 And perhaps one of the most beautiful examples is found in 1 Chronicles 4:10, the Prayer of Jabez: “The Prayer of Jabez calls on God saying, ‘Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain.’ And God granted what he asked.” Jabez could have accepted the pain his name represented… But instead, he asked for more — for blessing, expansion, protection, and purpose. And God answered. As entrepreneurs, as dreamers, as children of God — we are called to A.S.K. Align your heart with your purpose. Speak your desires with faith. Knock with persistence until the door opens. Because asking isn’t weakness. It’s faith in motion. It’s the bridge between where you are and where you’re meant to be. So today, dare to ASK. Your next breakthrough might just be waiting on your voice.

There are days when all you want is to disappear, when the weight of everything feels too heavy to carry. But then, out of nowhere, you catch yourself laughing at a friend’s story, savoring the comfort of your favorite meal, or simply breathing in the calm of the evening air as you walk home. It’s in these fleeting, almost unnoticed moments that life gently nudges you, reminding you that even in the darkest times, there are still tiny glimmers of light that make holding on worth it. Life may never be as easy as we hope, and its challenges can feel relentless, but sometimes, it’s the smallest joys that breathe life back into you. A kind word, a shared laugh, or the quiet peace of a sunset—they have a way of reminding you just how good life can still be, even when everything feels like it’s falling apart. Have you heard about "glimmers?" Glimmers are the opposite of triggers. Glimmers are those moments in your day that make you feel joy, happiness, peace, or gratitude. Once you train your brain to be on the lookout for glimmers, these tiny moments will appear more and more. And maybe, that’s the beauty of it: knowing that no matter how lost you feel, these moments will always be there to pull you back. ~ MJ Blossoms, Writer’s Blossoms Writer’s Blossoms ~ Art by Susanne Krauss

Aging well isn’t about avoiding time, it’s about embracing it with grace, gratitude, and purpose. People who age beautifully stay curious, keep learning, and find joy in simple moments. They move their bodies, nourish their minds, and surround themselves with positive, loving energy. They laugh often, forgive easily, and stay open to new beginnings. Most of all, they live with intention, choosing peace over pressure, connection over comparison, and love over fear. Every day becomes another chance to grow wiser, kinder, and more radiant from the inside out. 🌸✨
