"Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending." I love my family, my friends and myself. I believe the more you help others, the more you help yourself. I am an optimist and believe there are still good people in this chaotic world. I believe in the kindness of strangers, the importance of feeling needed, and showing compassion to others - even if you feel they are not deserving of it. I believe everyone needs someone in their lives who steadfastly believes in them. I believe success is measured by the height of your aspirations, the breadth of your vision and the depth of your convictions. Success lies not in how well-known you are but how well-respected...not in your power to take but your willingness to give. Success is the small voice you hear within when you know you have done your best.
Learn about my passion and what I do: www.TeacherNanny.com If you think you can help me with any aspect of my business, then I will be more than happy to take the time to listen to what you have to say. =-)
I would like to meet anyone who understands the importance of kindness, compassion, honesty, integrity, empathy, patience, optimism and generosity. Someone that I can learn from and laugh with would be great to meet too. ;-) AND someone who would like to join me here and do nothing all day would be perfect:
I like all kinds of music...A little bit of everything in moderation is good...
Always love a good romantic comedy - Love Actually and Serendipity. Office Space is great because it's true. Gone With the Wind is a classic, Scarlett is a woman after my own heart - Don't stop til you get what you want. Super Troopers was HILARIOUS. It will make you laugh out loud and if it doesn't, then there's something wrong with you. =-P There's too many movies to list that I like...Move on.
EMPOWER YOURSELF AND WATCH THIS MOVIE.
I don't have a lot of time for TV but when I do, I stay away from the news because it's ALWAYS bad news which is depressing. Alas, two shows have sucked me in: DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and LOST. When they're on, don't bother me.
I love to read. Novels are my favorites. There is nothing else like being able to immerse yourself into another reality not defined by your perception and learn something new or take away something useful you can apply to your everyday life. Reading is fun!! It also increases vocab, improves spelling and communication.
"...finding out who I really am-the meaning of my total existence involves knowing the possibilities of my future as well as my past, where I'm going as well as where I've been. Although we know the end of the maze holds death, I see how that the path I choose through that maze makes me what I am. I am not only a thing, but also a way of being -one of many ways - and knowing the paths I have followed and the ones left to take will help me understand what I am becoming." ~ D. Keyes - Flowers for Algernon
"Anyone who has common sense will remember that the bewilderments of the eyes are of two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light, which is true of the mind's eye, quite as much as of the bodily eye; and he who remembers this when he sees anyone whose vision is perplexed and weak, will not be too ready to laugh; he will first ask whether that soul of man has come out of the brighter life, and is unable to see because unaccustomed to the dark, or having turned from darkness to the day is dazzled by excess of light. And he will count the one happy in his condition and state of being, and he will pity the other; or, if he have a mind to laugh at the soul which comes from below into the light, there will be more reason in this than in the laugh which greets him who returns from above out of the light into the den." ~Plato - The Republic
"Anyone can become angry - that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way - this is not easy." ~Aristotle
"But your solitude will be a support and a home for you, even in the midst of very unfamiliar circumstances, and from it you will find all your paths."~ R. Rilke
"Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat any time and be yourself." ~H. Hesse
"The pendulum of the mind oscillates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong." ~C. Jung
"All the woulda-coulda-shouldas, layin' in the sun, Talkin' 'bout the things, they woulda-coulda-shoulda done...But those Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas, all ran and hid, from one little did." ~S. Silverstein
Anyone who has ever stood up for themselves or someone else is a hero. Do not ever be afraid to stand up or speak up for what is right. People can be wrong and when they are, they need to be corrected. So what if they don't listen; so what if they don't care; take a stand anyway. It matters. When we have the courage to speak out – to break our silence – we inspire the rest of the "moderates" in our communities to speak up and voice their views.
