I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.


-Gilda Radner

Like a warm breath has been thrust unto you
Butterflies become pterodactyls
A smiling realization
Epiphanies

I wish you sunshine on your path and storms to season your journey. I wish you peace in the world in which you live and in the smallest corner of the heart where truth is kept. More I cannot wish you except perhaps love to make all the rest worthwhile.

Robert A. Ward

Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere,
they’re in each other all along.

Rumi

Open your heart today… Don’t wait for a surgeon to do it for you.

Eric Braun

Sorrow is how we learn to love. Your heart isn’t breaking. It hurts because it’s getting larger. The larger it gets, the more love it holds.

Do what Kevin Says

Happiness is not a stroke of luck. It is a state of mind. Happiness is the outcome of personal effort. We must insist upon it and do whatever it takes to seize it.
Once we grasp it, we must work our asses off to maintain the happiness we’ve desired.
Happiness is worth the pursuit.

Team Rubicon has responded  to 37 disasters in 34 months. Veterans wanting to continue public service without being in a war zone are using their skills to help those in need. $1M will help them respond to more disasters & enroll the veterans committed to furthering their interests in improving humanity.  Great combo!  They’ve got my vote.  How about yours?  http://bit.ly/TRvote

When we seize opportunities and throw expectations of ourselves and others to the wayside, life begins to unfold in ways adamant control would never allow. Life offers a series of paths. There will be detours, unexpected stops, clear destinations, and fortuitous surprises. If we choose to enjoy the view and embrace the journey, I think we will all end up more fulfilled. Relinquishing domination of what ‘should be’ and embracing what ‘could be’ makes the unknown rewarding; even fun to discover.

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

-J.R.R. Tolkien

Breaking out of our comfort zone breaks us of our limitations, and connects us with the limitless… Be free.

Every time you appreciate something; every time you praise something; every time you feel good about something, you are telling the Universe: “MORE OF THIS, PLEASE!” You need never make another verbal statement of this intent and, if you are mostly in a state of appreciation, all good things will flow to you.

Giving back comes in all forms…  How are you supporting disaster relief efforts along the Eastern Seaboard?This is beautiful, Lani!laniartist:

My extremely rough sketch of the painting I will be auctioning off for Team Rubicon. All proceeds will go to the hurricane Sandy relief effort.
