Letting Your Soul Walk You
By: Joseph J. Mazzella
I had an enlightening and humorous experience walking my
dogs this morning. It was a crisp, spring day full of life and energy.
My four dogs seemed to feel it as well. Each one of them was
delightfully sniffing the air and bouncing around me as we walked.
Then as I was about to head back toward the house with them our
Saint Bernard, Buddy, and our tiny Labrador mix, Pepper, both
decided that it was the perfect time for a game of chase. Before I
knew it my legs were wrapped up tight with the dog leashes from
these two running in circles around me. Thankfully, I was able to
drop the leashes before I ended up on the ground. As I bent down
to pick up the leashes again, however, my tiniest dog, Julie decided
to give me a little help. She grabbed Buddy’s leash in her mouth
and headed for the door. I looked on with laughter as my 10 pound
Pekinese Poodle walked our 160 pound Saint Bernard back home.
In addition to giving me a good laugh this sight also got me to
thinking. If a little dog like that can take the leash of a giant sized
one and lead him in the right direction then there is no reason why
all of us can’t take the leash on our own lives and start walking
them on the path of love and joy again. Sure we may have huge
problems, large struggles, and massive difficulties in our lives, but
if we let that smart, little dog, that is our soul, take the lead they
will all fall behind us. That smart, little dog will lead our hearts,
minds, and lives right where they need to go. That smart, little dog
will lead us back home to joy, love, and God.
Let your soul lead you in the right direction then and all of
your life will follow you happily. Let your soul walk you down
the path of love, joy, and oneness with God and your journey
home will always be a delightful one even if you do get tangled
in the leash from time to time.

Have you visited our new bookstore? It’s located at
http://www.write2theheart.com/html/book_store.html
You will find wonderful books written by, or that include stories
by many of our talented writers. You will also find books that aide
the budding writer. I highly recommend “Sally Stuart’s Christian
Writers’ Guide,” and “2005 Writer’s Market.” Both are must haves
for all serious writers. They are great tools to find that perfect
market for your writing.
Cheryl’s Corner
My husband, David, hugged me the other day and said, “You’re
the best thing since macaroni and cheese!”
“But,” I reminded him, “you don’t even like macaroni and
cheese.”
Quickly he changed it to, “That’s why you’re better than
macaroni and cheese.”
Hey, it may be a left-handed compliment, but I’ll take any
complement I can get!
God bless,
Cheryl
