One of Ashley's favorite quotes is:"My religion is well known to those who know me. I believe in bodies, arms entangling and untangling. I believe, and I know it to be so, that there are so many curves and hollows in a single body that none of us can come to know them all within a single lifetime. I believe in one to one and one on one. No wine or magic, no hand-me-down Bible can improve on that. I believe in spring, but only if I’m rolled up in a pillow or holding some well-loved face in my hands... More often I’m a spectator, meaning I’ve no reason to believe in anything save what I see. But I do. –Rod McKuen, Alone
To laugh often and love much: To win respect of intelligent people And the affection of children; To earn the approbation of honest critics And endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others;To give one's self; To leave the world a little better, Whether by a healthy child, A garden patch, Or redeemed social condition; To have played and laughed with enthusiasm And sung with exultation; To know even one life has breathed easier Because you have lived...This is to have succeeded.-Ralph Waldo Emerson

e that came your way with resloute heart and cheerful? or did you hide your face from the light of day with craven soul and fearful? oh troubles a ton, and troubles an ounce, and trouble is what you make it. it isnt the fact you are hurt that counts but only how did you take it?
you are beaten down to the earth, well, well, whats that? come up with a smiling face! its nothing aginst you to fall down flat, but to lie there? thats a disgrace. the harder youre thrown, why the higher you bounce! be proud of your blackened eye! it isnt the fact your licked that counts but how did you fight and why?
and though you be done to death what then? if you battled the best you could, if you played your part in the world of men, then a critic would call it good. Death comes with a crawl, or he comes with a pounce, and weather hes slow or hes spry, it isnt the fact youre dead that counts but only
how did you die?
-Edmund Vance Cooke
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
