"When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable.  But to grow up is to accept vulnerability...To be alive is to be vulnerable."

Madeleine L'Engle

"She was stretched on her back beneath the pear tree soaking in the alto chant of the visiting bees, the gold of the sun and the panting breath of the breeze when the inaudible voice of it all came to her.  She saw a dust-bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a bloom; the thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of the tree from root to tiniest branch creaming in every blossom and frothing with delight."

Zora Neale Hurston (Their Eyes Were Watching God)

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.  This is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Be Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. Lao Tzu

"Unite with your own higher self and create a friendship" from my Yogi Peach Roobios teabag.

I had a conversation yesterday with a good friend of mine about putting yourself out there.  How if you don't put yourself out there you will never know the results.  This business is a huge put yourself out there adventure.
