"Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it."


{M.Angelou}

You can't ever persuade someone to love you.
You must write the letter knowing that it will change nothing.
Its purpose is just to exist as proof:
"I love you for free."

I think that everything in life is art. 

What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. 

Your smile 

and your personality. 

What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. 

How you decorate your home. 

Or party. 

Your grocery list. 

The food you make. How your writing looks. 

...And the way you feel.

There are no days in life so memorable as those which vibrated to some stroke of the imagination.

{R.W.Emerson}

finish each day and be done with it. you have done
what you could.
some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them
as soon as you can. tomorrow is a new day.
you shall begin it 
serenely
and with too high a spirit to be encumbered 
with your old nonsense.

{r.w.emerson}

I have learned that faith means trusting in advance what will only make sense in reverse. 

[P.Yancey]

The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea.

[I.Dinesen]

If you are brave enough to say "goodbye," then life will reward you with a new "hello."

{ paulo coelho }

On Friendship

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
[ George Washington ]

Love is in the Air

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day, whether you spent it with your significant other, your friends, or yourself.

"Later that day, I got to thinking about relationships.  There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, and those that bring you to somewhere unexpected.  The most exciting, challenging, and significant relationship of them all is the one that you have with yourself.  And if you can find someone to love the you that you love, well, that's just fabulous."  [sex and the city]

"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point."

[c.s. lewis]

"I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

[henry.david.thoreau]

"Last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice."


[t.s. eliot]

"There are years that ask questions and years that answer."

[zora.neale.hurston]

"What you leave behind is not what is engraved into stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others."

[pericles]
Miss you every single day.

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.


[Lewis B. Smedes]

Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering… because you can’t take it in all at once.
