Enjoying and living a peaceful life. Embracing simplicity. Being grateful. Feeling joyful. Listening to my heart's wisdom. Knowing myself. Finding inner peace and contentment. Recognizing synchronicity. Learning lessons. Keeping perspective. Living in the moment. Practicing wholeness. Seeking truth. Being politically and spiritually aware. Choosing Love over Fear. Loving unconditionally.
Creating community can make all the difference in life. I'm a stay at home mom raising two fun-loving, creative and beautiful children. My husband, children, and I live in a suburb of Sacramento. Due to the nature of my page, I choose not to post any family pictures...you'll really only see pics of me with friends. Been in Sac since I was three (really only left it to go on vacation) and it's my mom, long-time friends, and our community that inspire me to stay. I dream to live elsewhere, but what can I say, family and friends make your world. In the meantime, there's enough wonderfully progressive thinkers here, culture, arts, good eats, ethnic diversity, places here to raise your children with a sense of community, and a river and lake to enjoy. I am home.
Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves for we shall never cease to be amused. ~ Anonymous
We are shaped and fashioned by what we love ~ Goethe
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are. ~Anais Nin
Our attitude toward life determines life's attitude towards us. ~ Earl Nightingale
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose one's feelings is to risk rejection.
To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing,
Does nothing,
Has nothing and is nothing.
He may avoid sufferings and sorrows,
But he cannot learn,
Feel, change, grow, or love.
Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave.
He has forfeited his freedom.
Only a person who takes risks is free.
~Leo Buscaglia
Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy. ~ The Dhammapada
I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings. My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that Source in you. Let us work together for unity and love. ~ Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
Tell me whom you love and I will tell you who you are.
~ Houssaye
