Quiet Wonder
“The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world.
There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor.
But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate [...]
Living all of you…
“While we have the gift of life,
it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die—
whether it is our spirit,
our creativity,
or our glorious uniqueness.”
Gilda Radner
Life continuously challenges us to make choices,
and still find a sense of balance.
Sometimes it feels like managing all of the parts of life is a graceful [...]
Living…or just thinking?
“You cannot plough a field
by turning it over
in your mind!”
Anonymous
There is a point to planning, and thinking, and developing a direction in which you will head.
But, for many, they stay there…for too long (and some stay there forever!).
You cannot iron out all the wrinkles from the couch.
You cannot do everything in your head, or on [...]
The Answers
“As long as one keeps searching, the answers come.”
Joan Baez
Sometimes we can be impatient.
We want what we want…now.
We don’t want to work at it.
We don’t want to wait for it.
We want to know the answers.
We want to have the results.
We want every dream to come true…
every day.
While it is important to believe that we [...]
Go…FASTER!
“The more one hurries, the less time they have.”
The Universe
“If only I had more time…”
“There aren’t enough hours in the day…”
“I wish I could clone myself, because just one of me can’t get it all done!”
At one time or another, many of us have felt like there simply was too much to do, and not [...]
What you do NOT do…
“If you don’t go after what you want,
you’ll never have it.
If you don’t ask,
the answer is always no.
If you don’t step forward,
you’re always in the same place.”
Nora Roberts
You are right-
there IS a risk in taking a risk.
There IS an unknown.
There IS a possibility that something won’t work,
and a chance you will not succeed.
But, there [...]
The Journey
The Journey
By Mary Oliver
One day you finally knew what
you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting their bad advice,
“mend my life, mend my life,
mend my life,” each voice cried.
But you didn’t stop,
you knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though the melancholy was terrible,
It was [...]
Time~
“We must not allow the clock
and the calendar
to blind us to the fact
that each moment of life
is a miracle and a mystery.”
H. G. Wells
Today was the first day of daylight savings.
There is the camp that loves it, because it stays later an hour longer.
There are those that hate it, because the mornings will be darker.
Then, [...]
Powerful beyond measure…
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us…
And as we let our light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates [...]
What?!
“Nothing will work
unless you do.”
Maya Angelou
She was waiting.
She was sure that this year would be better than last year, and so she was waiting to see what happened.
She wanted to “wait and see” if her job would get any better.
She wanted to “wait and see” if her relationship would go to the next level.
She just [...]
