How does one become a butterfly? You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar. — Trina Paulus

When you step into the unknown, faith is knowing there will be something to stand on or you will be taught how to fly. — Barbara Winter, author

Imagination is the highest kite that one can fly. — Lauren Bacall, actress

Words are heavy things. They weigh you down. If birds talked, they couldn’t fly. — Marilyn Whirlwind, character in Northern Exposure TV show

When you want to fly like eagles, don’t dress as a turkey. — Xena, character in Xena TV show

To seek freedom is the only driving force I know. Freedom to fly off into that infinity out there. Freedom to dissolve; to lift off; to be like the flame of a candle, which, in spite of being up against the light of a billions stars, remains intact, because it never pretended to be more than what it is: a mere candle. — Carlos Castaneda, author and mystic

If you’re falling off a cliff, you may as well try to fly. You’ve got nothing to lose. — Captain John Sheridan’s father in Babylon 5 TV show

Hold fast to dreams.
For if dreams die.
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. — Isaiah 40:31

When you reach the end of all the light there is and you must step out into the darkness, remember that two things may happen: You either will find something to stand on or you will be taught how to fly. — Book of Edges

A characteristic of the great saints is their power of levity. Angels can fly because they can take themselves lightly. — G. K. Chesterton, essayist and novelist

Can you walk on water? You have done no better than a straw. Can you fly in the air? You have done no better than a bluebottle. Conquer your heart; then you may become somebody. — Ansari of Heart, monk

Lynne Roberts Asks: Are You Safe?

Spread the love
3 2

Domestic violence is the leading cause for injury in women over the age of 15 in the United States.

A woman is beaten every 11 seconds in this country.

4,000 women are beaten to death annually.

52% of murdered female victims are killed by their intimate partner.

4.8 million intimate-partner assaults and rapes are reported annually.

77% of domestic shelters nationwide saw an increase in women seeking help since 2008.

75% of those shelters attribute the surge to financial issues, which brings on the abuse.

Hundreds of thousands of women and children face violence from their own families.

If any of these statistics touch on your experience or someone you know, then you need Lynne Robert’s new book, Are You Safe?

Life Is a Gift: The Zen of Tony Bennett

Spread the love
10 95

When you choose your friends, realize that you are also choosing your teachers.

Do something to improve yourself, every single day.

We can always seek beauty and inspiration in the world around us.

Good friends bring out the best qualities in one another.

You just never give up on yourself, and you believe in yourself. And you work hard to get better as you go along.

Obstacles are necessary for success. Be persistent and you will reach your goals.

If you are creative, you get busier as you get older.

Nature is the master artist.

The human voice is more flexible than any other instrument in existence. It can express various nuances in tone, volume and inflections that are beyond compare.

Everything you do should be done with love.

Being angry is a waste of time. Instead, count your blessings every day.

Before we do something, we need to ask ourselves: Is this good for all of us on the planet?

Excerpts from . . . Life Is a Gift: The Zen of Bennett by Tony Bennett

Maria Gabriela Brito on Her Interior Design Inspirations

The following interior design inspirations are excerpted from Maria Gabriela Brito’s new book, Out There: Design, Art, Travel, Shopping:

I have dared to be different and be inspired by things everywhere.

Besides contemporary art, I look for visual stimulation and emotional connection from people, movies, places, and fashion.

Sometimes my clients are my inspiration. Everything flows from their colorful lives.

Strong, iconic women who have left their creative marks on the world constantly inspire my life and my work.

Fashion has always been a source of inspiration for me.

Fabrics, proportions, materials, accessories, patterns, and color combinations have all had a definite impact on the way I put together my designs.

Join in Connie Bowen’s Kickstarter project to publish a hardcover full-color printed version of this joyful children’s affirmations book: I Create My World: The Power of Thought to Shape Our Lives.

“I hold the keys that create my world.” – An intro to the concept that our thoughts and words are actually shaping our experience.

“I can picture what I want to create.” – We can use visualization to help us manifest our dreams.

“My imagination lifts me higher.” – Using our unlimited imaginations in a positive way, picturing what we want to manifest in our lives keeps us aligned with our higher good.

“I follow the light of my inner joy.” – Being joyful is our natural state of being. Following the path of our joy is our unique compass to a fulfilling life.

“I am right on track.” – We are always on track and can turn seeming obstacles into opportunities.

“I bring love to all that I do.” – When we take action with love as our motivation, we will always uplift and inspire others, and our efforts will bear fruit in magnificent ways.

“I am blessed with special talents and gifts.” – Each of us has something special to offer in service to others. There is no one else in the universe quite like us.

“I love helping others do well & succeed.” – Co-operation can replace competition when we realize our inner magnificence.

“I focus on what I love.” – Keeping our attention focused on the positive aspects of all we encounter will bring more of what we want into our lives.

Infographic: Funny eCards to Brighten Your Day

Spread the love
2 11

Here is an infographic of a Slideshare presentation (http://infographicaday.com/slideshare-funny-ecards-to-brighten-your-day) I created to share some funny ecards to brighten your day.

Which do you prefer? The Slideshare or the Infographic? Leave a comment below.

I hate when I have to drive someone around. They always steal my purse’s seat.

Men: If you ever want to know what a woman’s mind feels like, imagine a browser with 2,857 tabs open. All. The. Time.

I’m not avoiding housework. In fact, I run into it all the time. We’re just not speaking to each other right now.

Children who can read are 97.8% more likely to have correctly spelled tattoos when they grow up.

Adding “and shit” at the end of a sentence can make anything sound thug. Example: “I was playing with my bubbles and shit.”

I desperately want to go camping this summer. Preferably in a hotel. With a pool. And a spa.

Grammar is important.For instance, commas save lives. Let’s eat grandpa. Let’s eat, grandpa.

I don’t have a Facebook or Twitter account, so I just go around announcing out loud what I’m doing at random times. I’ve got 3 followers so far, but I think 2 are cops.

Dear shaving commercials, stop shaving hairless legs. If you want to impress us, please shave a bear.

If I ever go missing, I want my picture on beer cans rather than milk cartons. That way, at least my friends will know I’m missing.

I hate it when you open the fridge and can’t find what you’re looking for. Like happiness. And perfect abs.

Sometimes, my greatest accomplishment is just keeping my mouth shut.
