One of Nancy's favorite quotes is:"The small butterfly moves as though unburdened by the world of desire...Kobayashi IssaBe who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. ~Dr. Seuss"If you want to keep people subjugated, the last thing you place in their hands is a Bible. There's nothing more radical, nothing more revolutionary, nothing more subversive against injustice and oppression than the Bible." � Desmond Tutu"Today I give myself the pleasure of valuing my body. I love my liver-spotted hands, my stretch marks, my shaggy hair and the map of my face. I praise this body that has kept me on this planet in this place, available for learning, adventure and warmth. I love how my senses allow me to drink in the world. Body, I thank you for giving me life. I will never disrespect you again."

do.Cherish and look after your body, and, as the ancient Greeks believed, your mind will serve you better.Put back into the community as there have been those before you have done the same and you are reaping what they sowed.Participate in and protect democracy. It does not thrive as a spectator sport.Undertake due diligence in everything.Seek balance and space, and solitude.Don't be afraid to feel passionate about something.Learn to be an advocate and an ambassador for good.Be mindful of your limitations.Indulge and nurture your curiosity as it will keep you vital.Take charge of your life and don't fall into the pit of entitlement.Assume nothing and take nothing for granted.Things are not necessarily what they seem. Loreena McKennitt"Don't do nothing because you can't do everything. Do Something. Anything."~Sasha (Thanks to Colleen Patrick-Goudreau for introducing me to this quote)Use it Up, Wear it Out, Make it Do, or Do Without...Katy Wolk-StanleyAWARENESS leads to COMPASSION which leads to ACTION which leads to GRACE...Be the Change You Want to see in the World... GandhiWe shall pass through this world but once. Therefore, any good thing I can do, For any living being, Let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, For I shall not pass this way again. AnonymousDo not judge, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye, with never a thought for the plank in your own? Matthew 7: 1-3God dwells within me, as me..."Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert".
