Favorite quotes, interesting videos, inspiring stories, and even a bit of humor are included for the readers enjoyment.

Life doesn't need to be so hard, and even when it is, a few laughs along the way certainly don't hurt.

One of my MOST Favorite Quotes

* "KNOWLEDGE and WISDOME SHALL BE THE STABILITY OF THY TIMES." Old Testament Prophet Isaiah

- You can see a photo of this most beautiful Art Deco window in Rockefeller Plaza, NYC that displays and accents this moving quote from the Old Testament. It brought tears to my eyes when I first glaced at it. Timeless....as true then as it is now.

- I hope it speaks something personal to each of you in a special way...make your own meaning out of it, and how it applies to you.

"AN EYE FOR AN EYE MAKES THE WHOLE WORLD BLIND" Mahatma Ghandi

- "I am not what happened to me ~ I am what I choose to become." Carl Jung

* "Success is getting what you want; Happiness is wanting what you get."

"The greatest calamity is not to have failed, but to have failed to try."

- "If at first you don't succeed, you are running about average."
