No One Is Perfect and trying to be all of the time is a prison sentence in and of itself.

You want more Enrique.  I do too.  You can thank me later. Sigh.

Leads to another. Why exhaust yourself?

Try a new look. Try a new food. Go out and have some fun. Ask a new pal to have lunch. Do something different.

The past can never exist in real time.

We all should pay close attention when we are voting on “their” rights because there will come a time when “we” become “them”.

Those who never want you to talk about the past are usually the ones who did something to make it not such a great memory? That a heck of a lot of fortune cookies don’t have a fortune at all or … Continue reading →

Move towards what it is that you fear the most  and befriend and embrace the unknown aspects of circumstance and choice in an attempt to (finally) step into a better, softer, safer reality.

You are not defined by your words but by your actions.

I have learned that those who wish to be “famous” are those who are most aching to be loved.

     “Don’t be seduced into thinking that that which does not make a profit is without value.” How I need to read this over and over and…

Go out and do what you have always dreamed you could do, known you could do and wanted to do but were too afraid to try.

Without trust, there can be no real love, no real intimacy and no real sense of security.  Trustworthiness is the creator of a stable foundation while deception breeds insecurity.

Do not hide the light that shines within you in order to keep others in the dark and protected from having to face their own reflections.

You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you, and allowing that goodness to emerge.

You have an obligation to be your own best friend.

Do you really want to deal with someone who is deceptive? Do you believe you deserve to be spoken down to? Does anyone have the right to judge you so harshly? Do you need to justify your decisions? Do you … Continue reading →
