 The main inspiration for Dr. Chris Baker was her mentor, the brilliant pioneering orthodontist, Dr. Walter A. Doyle.  Dr. Walter A. Doyle Grief is really just love. All the love you want to give, but cannot. All of that unshared love gathering in the corners of your eyes, The lump in your throat, and in the heart place in your chest. Love with no place to go. — from Jamie Anderson (words reworked in my heart) Someone most precious in my life, A life journey shared, Here in this life, was called Walter Doyle. Always greeted everyone with a warm smile As if he’d been waiting for that one his whole life. When he spoke, it was almost at a whisper, So you paid close attention to every word. Lightworker. Carried his own pain. Yet ALWAYS turned it into light and love

 The fool thinks rank gives you power and privilege. The wise man knows rank gives you responsibility, And privilege to love Opportunity to be light in this world. Live in your wisdom. Your love and light changes the world. Every single moment.
 This new day is unwritten. No boundaries, no rules. Unconditional, unlimited opportunity. Keep yesterday’s rules, boundaries, happenings, hardships OUT of your NEW day! Hold your arms up to the sky And twirl around Be in this new, unwritten day of joy!
 We make our world Everything that happens Is related to our thoughts, To our emotions. Truly Your world is of your thoughts. Today Pray, love, give, be thankful For it all. God will give THAT back. You’ll see. You want a healing touch? World peace? A world of abundance and joy? First think. Then let go And go into your day Being that healer, Peacemaker, Abundance and joy!
 Think about… How do you treat people who are kind to you? How do you treat people who are oblivious to you? How do you FEEL when people seem unkind to you Or disagree with you? Gets tougher - How do you feel when someone strongly disagrees with you? The more we learn about love, kindness, compassion, light work, The easier it gets. As Rabbi Harold Kushner said, ”If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with thankfulness/gratitude, a feeling that nurtures your soul."
 To Create Positive Energies - ...think 'happiness-thoughts.' They are the fertilizer for your dreams.
CREATE positive energies to propel you to even greater Thoughts, feelings, experiences and knowings!!
 Everybody has their story. Just as you do. They are what they are How they are Because…. Because that is their journey. Because of their experiences (their past.) Because, just like you, Each of us is doing the best we can In this moment With what we understand (or don’t) and know (or don’t). If you are so very fortunate to understand THAT, Then giving your love can improve their moments, their understanding. AND YOURS.
 Will you choose to do your absolute best? Will you choose to fill your work hours productively? ,,,and your free hours with love, experiencing God’s wonderful world, learning? Will you choose gratitude over fear? …trust over worry? …joy over the blahs? Guess what? Whatever you choose Will be your most likely, strongest Experience. Choose wisely.
 EVERYTHING - nothing left out - Every experience, Every situation, Every moment, Come together to make you what you are today. To give you more awareness, more understanding, more knowledge, More capability, more opportunity. Every bit is exactly what you need. And it ALL comes together in this moment. And the next, And the next…. Right on time. Be there. Be here, now.*
