“You cannot teach your children to love your country, while teaching them to hate groups of people in it.” - Sherrilyn Ifill

Its not where you are, or where you’re going, but what you plan to do once you get there that counts.

Speak life into others. Encourage their dreams, support their ideas. Point out their strengths, their talents, their potential. Sometimes all it takes is one person to remind us that we are capable.

Just saw a post that said “Always remember, you matter. Never let anyone take away your dreams.” considering all the garbage I’m seeing going on in the world, I call bullshit.

Sometimes people have to close the door so that all of their mental pieces don’t roll away. Rather than walking bye that closed door, stop and ask if they need help. Don’t assume that their silence is a sign of strength. Their silence could mean that they need help but are not able to ask for it. Your offer of help can make a difference.

Grandma used to say “TV makes people stupid”. If she were alive today, she’d be pointing her cane at the world and saying “See, didn’t I tell you…”
Yes Ma’am, you were right.

I don’t know who needs this, but you are enough. You are just right for the world and the world is a better place because you are in it. Thank you for being you.

Waking before the break of day
Questioning the human race
Feeling low, but all so high
Up beyond where eagles fly
Wondering what the fighting’s for
Peace and love for ever more!

The less you understand the world, the better your world is, or so I’m told.

Isn’t it weird that the number of people who’s ever said “I could do that” doesn’t match the amount of folks who’ve actually gone and done it?
Funny how that works.

Happy Pretending To Catch Up On Emails Day to those who observe.

It’s all about keeping it positive. Let’s go!
