"...like a novel with a beginning, middle, and an end.....if you have listened closely, you will have heard the story of the sirens song that seduced me, of a path i both followed and led, of bizarre twists and turns that opened my eyes, forcing me to find solutions so that my loss of innocence would not lead to a loss of hope until, ultimately, the path turned back on its self, leading me closer to where i began....where i find my self delivered from the magic forest. Not broken, just more myself." ~Jewel

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius. It's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely stupid. ~ Marilyn Monroe

“For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin – real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Happiness is a journey, not a destination.” Souza
