It's All In Your Head

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.

about me
"Open Book" is an apt description.
I am a woman who is still trying to figure out life.
I want to embrace everything!
I'm a little shy...
So much to learn, not enough lives
Comes to mind.

Remember~

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature." ~Helen Keller

"All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming."~Helen Keller

"Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself." ~ George Bernard Shaw

"It's always amazing to me how many people can't see that being resentful is giving away one's power. When you hate or resent someone, you allow them to dictate how you feel, and they more than likely don't even know or care that they have that power.

Forgiveness to me equals freedom "~Naughty Kitty

Things To Ponder

He told me of his first love, when he was fourteen
A million summers ago when he first laid eyes on her
Riding in the back of her father’s pickup truck
A real beauty, a dark swan, her long neck
Accentuated by smooth hair caught up
In a sleek ponytail, she had on a pair of red shorts
And a Band-aid on her knee
Funny the things that you remember, he smiled
She looked like a displaced ballerina
Or an exiled princess with flowing gowns
Of dust flying out behind her as the truck

All the years wasted waiting for them to "make it up to you" and all the energy you expended trying to make them change, or make them pay, kept the old wounds from healing and gave pain from the past free rein to shape and even damage your life…

Nothing you have done has made them change…

Indeed, they may never change…

Inner peace is found by changing yourself, not the people who hurt you…

You change yourself for yourself, for the joy, serenity, peace of mind, understanding, c... read more

Sunset’s apricot, yet the taste of salt
Not sweet on our tongues
Late afternoon fills our lungs
Earth’s windy fingers
Combs back our hair
As we meander along
The edge, at the border
Of land and sea, we rumble northward
Cont i n u o u s l y...........
While diamonds dance
Upon the wet
And sage scrub marches
Across the dry
Toward destinations
Unknown, we fly, our sound
Floats out across the waves
Expansive aquamarine
Movement, moments, fractions
Of day time captur... read more

Please do not wear the hair shirt
For me
Even if I keep handing it to you
Burn it at once
And open all the windows
Or the stench will cover the walls
There are one thousand steps
Leading to my alter
Do not exhaust yourself
Do not make yourself weary
Even when I insist
That you bloody your knees
Crawling up them
There is no need for penance
If you are not guilty
I really don’t mean to
Make you carry a cross
My reluctant savior
Refuse it at once
And throw it down
Upon the gr... read more

Every year, English teachers from across the country can submit their collections of actual similes and metaphors found in high school essays. These excerpts are published each year for the amusement of the teachers. Here are last year's winners:


1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a thigh Master.

2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.

3. He spoke with th... read more
