Power
 |
“I've been beaten up and bruised, I've been
knocked right off my shoes.
I’ve been down on my knees more times than you'd believe.
Yet, when the darkness tries to hold me back,
I’ve been down on my knees more times than you'd believe.
Yet, when the darkness tries to hold me back,
there's a light deep
within that just won't let me stop.”

To UnLove
 |
| "Happy Valentines Day" - Leila Raymond |
“You can never stop
loving someone.
You either love them or you never did.
You can't just love them one day, and then the next day you've completely moved on.
It doesn't work like that.
You may find new people to love, but it doesn't replace those whom you’ve loved in the past.
Even if they never loved you, even if they found someone new,
you continue loving them either consciously or unconsciously.
Love simply begins, it has no ending.”
- Kay Lynn Gabaldon

Prudence
 |
| "Jaisalmer" Lou Urlings |
We all have a few pivotal
experiences in life that change the course of our thoughts and actions.
These moments crystalize in our
mind and are ever present.
They mark an event we remember
every year for the rest of our lives.
There comes a time when a deep
intrinsic voice inside of us emerges to defend who we are
from the depths of our
being. It is the voice of prudence.
Prudence coupled with grace takes
over for patience when we have been
pushed against a wall. It is the deep fight or flight mechanism that
emerges and
gives us the courage to stand up
and defend ourselves in the face of danger.
When prudence takes over the
victim present inside us all ceases when
we stand up in opposition of
anything that oppresses or intimidates us.
Something powerfully intrinsic
happens when the courage to no longer be silent awakens
within us and we are compelled to
confront our problems rather than cower to them.
The things that torment us thrive
on our hushed fears and insecurities and they are
made powerless by a resilient
voice; an inner voice that says...
“No More!"

Misty Morning

| "Misty Morning" Monica Siri |
“Perhaps Sadness will use the
shimmering wings of the morning kissed
with dew and promise to sail away, and the dark Heart of the Night
will rush headlong into the blinding light of the Day,
to kiss it full and hard upon the mouth and embrace life's brilliance once more...”

To Be Different
 |
| ” Somehow Different” Laszlo Baranyai |
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough
to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
- Steve Jobs

To Take Flight
 |
| "Flamingos" Confusor |
“I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings,
the winds will carry you.”

Sunscreen
“Eighty percent of our waking moments are spent with people at work,
10% of our waking moments is spent with those we love,
and the remaining 10% is spent dreaming.”
10% of our waking moments is spent with those we love,
and the remaining 10% is spent dreaming.”
We all have a unique story to tell about our experience here. Wherever our story takes us, there remain a few fundamental truths we all share in common as human beings.
Baz Luhrmann, captured this in his speech “To Wear Sunscreen.”The thoughts shared in the speech address the generations of the past, the present and the future. It speaks to every gender, color, race, religion and science.
Mr. Luhrmann successfully captured the fundamental experiences human beings, share in common, at one time or another. His advice about the use of sunscreen, applies to our bodies, to our thoughts, our actions, and our deeds.

what matters to you in every situation you will have peace
despite rejection or disapproval. Putting a voice to your

The Secret of Light
 |
| "The Secret of Light" David Lindberg |
"To realize that all your life—you know, all your love, all your hate,
all your memory, all your pain—it was all the same thing.
It was all the same dream. A dream that you had inside a locked room.
It was all the same dream. A dream that you had inside a locked room.
A dream about being a person.

The Christmas Light
 |
| “Christmas Light” Silvia Spedicato |
"I have always thought
of Christmas time, when it has come round,
as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the
long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their
shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow
passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys."
- Charles Dickens

Sunrise
The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful

certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen.
The possibility is always there.

An Expression of Gratitude to WordPress on Thanksgiving 2014
This One's for you WordPress
 |
| WordPress Take Down |
The Voice of Humanity
It is the time of year when we take pause and give thanks. In America, we call it Thanksgiving. This year I was tormented by a Cyberbully who’s post had a significant impact on my livelihood and the health and well being of my family whom I support with all my heart. We are losing our father, the man who cared for us all our lives. He has dementia and is slowly passing away. The impact the blog had was devastating and compromised the health and safety of my father’s last few memories of this life.
I was fortunate enough to be on Chat with an empathetic support engineer and told him the story. WordPress heard my voice and took down the blog. Our family will forever be grateful to this magnificent company.
Thank You WordPress, we love you! This post is for you.
"People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down
by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.”

To Speak:
Speeches from the Leaders of the Past and Leaders of our Future.

Promise Yourself
 |
| "Fake Light" Ali Barootkoob |
“Promise Yourself
To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.
To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.”
