Life is defined more by its contrasts than its samenesses; Life is defined more by its risks than the many securities.
It is of the small joys and little pleasures that the greatest of our days are built.
When we have a circle of friends, we have more fun. We get more done, we feel and are stronger, and we really do celebrate the power of our ‘us.’
In my own deepening understanding of myself I find my capacity to serve others is deepened as well. The better I am at self-care the more genuinely nurturing of others I am able to be.
Pick up a stone that feels good to you and is small enough to hold in one hand. Consider how long that stone has been around and what enormous pressure it has experienced. Draw strength from its long history.
May a thread of comfort be woven through your difficult days.
In the midst of the flurry – clarity. In the midst of the storm – calm. In the midst of divided interests – certainty. In the many roads – a certain choice.
Take time to play! Ask for what you want. Laugh. Live loudly. Be avid. Learn a new thing. Be Yourself!
It takes courage to reinvent joys, to reinvent opportunities, to reinvent dreams, to reinvent connections, to reinvent hopes that you have set aside.
At first glance it may appear too hard. Look again. Always look again.
Every possibility begins with the courage to imagine.

Just stop it. Seriously. Whatever it is. Just stop it. If only for an hour, a day, a week. Stop doing it long enough to get a glimpse of what the change would actually look like.
Sometimes the things you really want sneak in the back door. Notice.
Do not allow obligation or immediacy to bind you to physical things or specific actions.
Best Friends: we’re a parade – even by ourselves!
Fate makes us family. choice makes us friends.
I will not be governed by the tyranny of immediacy.
What if we just acted like everything was easy?
