About Me


Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing at all.
--Helen Keller
Dreamkeeper
Once upon a time, there was a Dream
A Dream of hope, begging to become real
A Dream of destiny, of purpose
Of all the things Humanity may yet achieve
Harmony among us, between us
In and of and around and through us
A bright future, a better tomorrow
A world treasured and restored
Clean air, pristine water, fertile earth
Respect for all life great and small
Peace within and peace without
A path away from destruction
Away from pollution
Away from desolation and sorrow
For one and for all
The battle is for hearts and minds
Bodies and souls
Will you help the Dream become Real?
Or will you remain mired in your misery
Convinced nothing will ever change?
Fail not to realize
The only change that is ever possible
Is change within you
You have the power
Each one of us has the power
To make that change possible
When enough of us pool our power
One by one by one
The world will be Transformed
This is my Dream, and I am the Keeper
Every Saint has a past. Every sinner has a future.
Love Has No Limit
Love has no limit
Love does not care
For the color of your skin
Nor the length of your hair
For the sex of your gender
Whether your love is the same
Love does not care
When its calling your name
Love has no limit
Neither time nor death nor space
Can alter its impact
Nor religion, nor race
Love has no limit
By its very nature transcends
All obstacles it faces
Love never ends

May the infinite love of the Universe
Forever be with you
-Namaste-
-Lina

Linus Rules

Your thoughts are the most powerful tool you have.
With them, you create your very reality
Whether you realize it or not.

May you manifest all the wealth you desire in your life.

Live each moment with joy.

When we die, that which we are goes on.
We are eternal beings.

With certainty

Expandingly
Growingly
Ever presently
Now
And now
And now
I love you
All ways

Namaste,
Lina

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet lots of people who share the same interests and ideals that I do.

Everything that exists is merely dream made real. The dream comes first before reality can change.

"There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other." - Douglas H. Everett

Watch your Thoughts, they become Words
Watch your Words, they become Actions
Watch your Actions, they become Habits
Watch your Habits, they become Character
Watch your Character, for it becomes your Destiny.

I am so very blessed.

May All Your Fondest Wishes Come True

Heroes:


Who are my Heroes?
Hard to say specifically. I admire people who have overcome great obstacles in their lives and gone on to do great things. I admire people who don't use their past as an excuse not to live in the present. I admire people who have the courage to dream and the strength of spirit to go after them. I admire people who see not obstacles, but rather opportunities to grow. I admire people who operate from a place of love, compassion and acceptance. I admire those that have the courage of their convictions. I admire people with open minds who are willing to see and accept others' points of view without compromising their own integrity. I admire those who practice and preach unity over divisiveness, that emphasize what we have in common rather than what makes us different. I admire those that are secure with themselves and do what they can each day to make the world a better place. I admire those who question and who think for themselves rather than meekly submit to popular opinion. I admire those who stand up for what is right, even at great personal risk. I admire those who inspire and motivate others to love, respect and trust themselves, and to find the dream that is their own to chase. I admire people who seek truth, even when the truth isn't easy. I admire every human being for their unique perspective and the wisdom and light they bring to the world.
QUESTION EVERYTHING
Bring all your earthly questions to the magic crystal ball!
Make Your Own Crystal Ball
May Peace Prevail Over All The Earth
Never blind yourself to the reality of what is.
.
Respect your own power.
Some things, you must simply believe.
Create beauty in your life.
Speak from the heart.
Some things need no words.
