See, listen and hear.

“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 most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”


Used by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech


Quote by Maryanne Williamson


--Last Sunday, I went to a chinese restraunt with some friends. Chinese is not one of my favorite cuisines, but the part I love best is the fortune cookie at the end of the meal. My fortune that Sunday read, "Do not fear failure".

See, listen and hear.

Doing too many things and not one particularly well.

Extending precious moments and focusing on that person who matters.

Better days.

Late night

Early morning

We talked until there was nothing left to say

It was strange

The war was on

But I've never felt so safe

No, I've never seen better days


-Five for fighting

Favorite Songs.

Well, the rain keeps on coming down

It feels like a flood in my head

And that road keeps on calling me

Screaming to everything lying ahead



And it's a winding road

I've been walking for a long time

I still don't know

Where it goes

And it's a long way home

I've been searching for a long time

I still have hope

I'm gonna find my way home



And I can see a little house

On top of the hill

And I can smell the ocean

The salt in the air

And I can see you

You're standing there

And you're washing your car

And I can see California sun in your hair



And its a winding road

I've been walking for a long time

Still don't know

Where it goes

And it's a long way home

I've been searching for a long time

Still have hope

I'm gonna find my way home



All these dreams took me so far

And I felt I just couldn't go on

And I want to hang

Out the window of your car

And see just how good this baby can run



'Cause it's a winding road

I've been walking for a long time

And I still don't know

Where it goes

And it's a long way home

I've been searching for a long time

Still have hope

We're gonna find our way home



It's a winding road

Still have hope

One day we'll find our way home

It's a long way home

I've been searching for a long time

Still have hope

We're gonna find our way home


-Bonnie Somerville

Snips.

My life is brilliant.

My love is pure.

I saw your face in a crowded place,

And I don't know what to do,

But I won't lose no sleep on that,

'Cause I've got a plan.


-James Blunt

Carpe Diem.

We struggle to find our paths and along the way circumstance can disappoint. Those who were once leaders my fall, perhaps when no one is looking we fail.



Reach out. Strive. Fail, but do not stop trying.
