In a nut shell

Good judgement comes from experience,
and a lot of that comes from bad judgement.
So go out there,
mess things up,
and be honest
with people.

Unexpected Love

I just had a conversation with a friend. at the end of it a soft voice said; "I love you" under my loud salutation. I was a bit suprised, this friend had never said this to me and I suppose I assumed they care for me. I just didnt know they "loved" me.
Its really a blessing to have such amazingly beautiful *real* people in my corner. Im gonna need a bigger corner and this pleases me ;-)

If you could change a persons life... would you?

Maybe for their entire life, maybe even the rest of their life or even just temporarily.

Would you?

*disclaimer* this message is not meant to boast nor toot any horns!
It is meant as a reminder and/or challenge (if you feel so inclined)

I am a consumer, I WANT EVERYTHING often!

Sometimes I have moments of clarity however and realize I have everything I need and then some. How bout you?

Being born healthy and in the "land of the free" I am "entitled" to things others are not and that just seems strange to me.

I was born and am healthy enough to look people in the eye and smile without shame.

I have been blessed with the right to an education of my choice.

I am healthy enough to work/provide a decent living for myself.

I have always, no matter where I was on this journey had enough clean water to drink and bathe in, ALWAYS!

What about those not as fortunate as I/us?

These are tugging at my heart strings and we are stepping up.

Will you join us?

one operation for one child is just a minimal fee of $240.

to sponsor a Tibetan elder and/or child for one year is just $360.

many areas in which to contribute here.

I have been pondering this, trying to figure out how to inform/challenge w/o coming off as being boastful/full of ego. That is not my intent! My intent is to; inform, remind and yes even challenge you to meet our contributions if you feel so inclined.
Message me privately if you are interested.
I just cant stop thinking that if one household could touch/change so many lives then what could 10 or more housholds do together?

(yea, I jacked it from Keira but it was right on time and I had to share it further)


The Four Agreements are:

BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD.
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the of truth and love.

DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY.
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS.
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST.
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are tired as opposed to well-rested. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

The Prophet

Then a woman said, "Speak to us of Joy and Sorrow."

And he answered:

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.

And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.

And how else can it be?

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.

Is not the cup that hold your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?

And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater."

But I say unto you, they are inseparable.

Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.

Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.

Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced.
