Remember this:
We can set the stage for the desired behavior, encourage it, and improve the odds by getting out of the way, but we don't have it in our bag of tricks to make people think, feel, or do any one thing.

I'm a visionary, spiritual, and connected. I am very perceptive, a quiet observer of my surroundings, plugged in to the pulse around me. I am driven. I am a warrior. I am a lover. I am passionate, funny, creative, a great problem solver, and a people person. I have very high moral standards and personal integrity. I am definitely a Viking. I drive fast. I rock a drum set. I like to explore, to learn, to expand my mind and my horizons.
I love taking trips. I have traveled to Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Croatia, Austria, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, Holland, Jamaica, Mexico, Canada, Uruguay, Argentina and all the states save six. I want to ride a motorcycle to Alaska and dip the front tire into the Arctic Ocean. I want to race the Baja 1000. I want to build and fly my own airplane. I want to see all seven continents and explore more of this planet. I want to go into space.
I believe actions speak louder than words.
...and forgive me because sometimes I trip over my own words...
Oh, and for some reason I make funny noises when I drum...
A dream, to be on the road, free, exploring, meditating, Zen.
I am a Viking, these are my weapons:
Thor's Hammer is a symbol of a warrior's power; although Thor himself was known, not for his power, but for his ability to take pain without complaint, and for his strength and generosity.
We deceive ourselves when we fancy that only weakness needs support. Strength needs it far more.
- Madame Swetchine
This poem by a dear friend forever changed my life...
BloomNever forget that you longed for this...
even as you begin to complicate your contemplations;
considering the many sub-standard sensations
existence tends to thrust upon one
in those withering, early hours of the morn
when even marigolds and mustard seeds, amidst the overwhelming fields
of springtime's finger paints
"entertain" the notion of calling in sick
yet somehow still manage
to rise to the occasion
and
bloom.
