"There is always another appointment to be met, another bill to pay, another symptom presenting, another uneventful day to be notched on the wooden wall. We have sychronized our watches, studied our calendars, existed in minutes, and completely forgotten to step back and see what we've accomplished."


~ Jodi Picoult

Leave a Trail


"Do not go where the path may lead,
go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

I Believe



First heard this Brooks and Dunn song 4 years ago.... now, as then, it serves as a source of strength and inspiration.

The Ukele, a Little Boy and The Hippy Song

Music is so amazing! The joy is apparent - even without knowing all the words!




Thanks for the post, Joanna!

Happiness


Happiness
When one's spiritual needs are met
by an untroubled inner life.
Happiness comes when your work and words
are of benefit to yourself and others.

Our Deepest Fear


Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

~ Marianne Williamson
