Stop dreaming about it...do it.

About Me


Never take someone for granted.
Hold every person close to your heart
because you might wake up one day
and realize that you've lost a diamond
while you were too busy collecting stones
««««««««««»»»»»»»»»»
We all want to fall in love. Why?
Because that experience makes us feel completely alive,
where every sense is heightened,
and every emotion is magnified.
Our everyday reality is shattered
and we are flung into the heavens.
It may only last a moment, an hour, or an afternoon,
but that doesn't diminish its value,
because we are left with memories
that we treasure for the rest of our lives
««««««««««»»»»»»»»»»
Somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile,
and finds in your presence that life is worth while.
So when you are lonely, remember it's true
Somebody somewhere is thinking of you
««««««««««»»»»»»»»»»
It is sometimes hard to cross that bridge,
try something new, or make that change.
But once you do, you will realize
that things are usually never as bad as we imagine.
««««««««««»»»»»»»»»»
Life is a miracle, don't let it slip away.
Open your heart to others,
give of yourself each day.
See the beauty in everyone,
regadless of where they've been.
Some have a difficult journey
and really need a friend

"Seize the Moment." (unknown)
You have not been damaged by others in your life who did what you wish they had not done, or who didn't do what you wish they had. I tell you this again: I have sent you nothing but angels. These people all brought you gifts, wonderful gifts, designed to help you remember Who You Really Are. And you have done the same for others. And when you all get through with this grand adventure, you will see that clearly, and you will thank each other.
I tell you, the day will come when you will review your life and be thankful for every minute of it. Every hurt, every sorrow, every joy, every celebration, every moment of your life will be a treasure to you, for you will see the utter perfection of the design. You will stand back from the weaving and see the tapestry, and you will weep at the beauty of it. So love each other. Every other. All others. Even those you have called your persecutors. Even those you have cursed as enemies. Love each other, and love yourself.

Life is not about keeping score. Life is not about how many people call you, not about who you’ve dated, are dating, or never dated.
Life is not about whose kissed you, or which person likes you or not. Life’s not about what sports you play, or if your even good at them or not.
As a matter of fact, life’s not about grades, money or clothes, not about whether you have friends or if you’re alone. Life’s also not about who does or doesn’t accept you.
That’s just not what life is about.
Life is about who you love and who you hurt. Life is about how you feel about yourself. It’s knowing your beautiful, know matter what anyone says. Life is about happiness, compassion, and trust, and sticking up for what’s right. Life’s about replacing hated with love, and avoiding jealousy, building confidence, and overcoming ignorance. It’s about what you say and what you mean. Life’s about seeing people for who they are, not what they have
Most of all, Life’s about choosing to use your life and experiences to touch someone else in a way that could not be achieved otherwise. That is what life is about.

My Interests

This is how everything started...
Do you want to discover this world with me, my love?

This story helped me understood the loss of my father
a few years ago.
He was only 55...
««««««««««»»»»»»»»»»
The Dragonfly Once, in a little pond,
in the muddy water under the lily pads,
there lived a little water beetle
in a community of water beetles.
They lived a simple and comfortable life
in the pond with few disturbances and interruptions.
Once in a while, sadness would come to the community
when one of their fellow beetles would climb the stem
of a lily pad and would never be seen again.
They knew when this happened;
their friend was dead, gone forever.
Then, one day, one little water beetle
felt an irresistible urge to climb up that stem.
However, he was determined that he would not leave
forever. He would come back and tell his friends
what he had found at the top.
When he reached the top and climbed out of the water
onto the surface of the lily pad, he was so tired,
and the sun felt so warm, that he decided he must take a nap.
As he slept, his body changed and when he woke up,
he had turned into a beautiful blue tailed dragonfly
with broad wings and a slender body designed for flying.
So, fly he did! And, as he soared he saw the beauty
of a whole new world and a far superior way of life
to what he had never known existed.
Then he remembered his beetle friends
and how they were thinking by now he was dead.
He wanted to go back to tell them,
and explain to them that he was now more alive
than he had ever been before.
His life had been fulfilled rather than ended.
But, his new body would not go down into the water.
He could not get back to tell his friends the good news.
Then he understood that their time would come,
when they, too, would know what he now knew.
So, he raised his wings and flew off
into his joyous new life!

People loving life as much as me and living every minute as if it was the last one.

People respecting the way others think and live. And most importantly: people with no anger...
««««««««««»»»»»»»»»»
Time is running so fast...we should cherish the past...try to live today as happy as we can...and hope the future will be just as fun.

Vengence...

I would like to understand the need for vengence. Why would one need to be avenged from a person he or she once loved? When you deeply loved someone who left you, I can unders...
