Quote of the week

I've been your friend for a while.

I know you're hiding behind that smile,

And you're keeping inside tears that should have been cried,

You've been brave through this trail.

You're been strong as a stone,

Against the stormy winds that have blown.

But you have friends who care, more than willing to share,

Don't face those troubles alone.

-- Lyrics from "Pray for You"

Quote of the week

"For a long time it has seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way.

Quote of the week

"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true."

--Steve Jobs (1955-2011)

Quote of the week

In truth, relationships just show us to ourselves.

We give people clues on how to love us

as they see us loving ourselves.

It is truly about us and our relationship with us

that then gets reflected back.

We attract the people who will allow us to grow,

who will invite us to grow,

who will ask us to step up and into

our highest self-expression.

This doesn't always happen consciously

or pleasantly...it just happens.

Enjoy the opportunities to let others know

how much you love yourself.

--Eddie Rodriguez

Quote of the week

"One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest."

-- Maya Angelou

Quote of the week

"Don't live in the past, thinking about mistakes or changes you made. Think of your life as a book, move forward, close one chapter and open another. Learn from your mistakes, but focus on your future, not on your past."

-- Unknown
