“The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.” – Caroline Myss You may have noticed an absence of IQs for the past two days. In a word? Overwhelm. I have been so utterly overwhelmed, and so “spent” that I haven’t had anything meaningful to say. I wish it […]
“Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.” – Bruce Lee We all make mistakes. It’s the nature of life, learning, exploring, and basically just being human. Sometimes, they’re big ones. Sometimes, they’re little ones. But, like Bruce said, they are ALWAYS forgiveable if you have the courage to admit them […]
“I have always believed in the magic of childhood and think that if you get your life right that magic should never end.” – Colin Thompson Colin Thompson is the man who brought us such amazing kids picture books as Looking For Atlantis, which I have written about here. In fact, I have only ever […]
“The thing about perfection is it’s unknowable. It’s impossible. But it’s always right in front of you.” – Kevin Flynn Watched TRON:Legacy tonight. (That explains the font, and the quote.) I’ve been thinking about perfection a lot, and this quote happened at the end of the film. What I wrote earlier tonight: ———————————————- I’m not perfect. […]
“The way back will always be there. The way forward may not.” – Unknown This one goes out to my brother in law Lance, who is living and working in Paris, France right now. We had a great hour-and-a-half Skype chat last night, and he dropped this pearl of wisdom – which was a quote […]
“Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.” – Og Mandino It’s true. What you are experiencing now is the result of your previous thoughts, words and actions. What you are thinking, saying and doing RIGHT NOW won’t come back to you in the form of results until sometime later. Either […]
“Always do what you are afraid to do.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson This seems counter-intuitive, but the things we are most afraid of doing are usually the things we most need to do – to step outside our comfort zone, to confront some part of ourselves that is fearful and playing small, or simply to […]
“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.” – Mignon McLaughlin Given how frantically busy things have been in our household this week, my wife and I have had plenty of time to say things to each other, but very little time to actually talk. The garage doors salt lake city […]
“Always toward absent lovers love’s tide stronger flows.” – Sextus Propertius Yes, I’ve been MIA for a few days. I crashed badly late last week, and I had nothing left in the tank to share with you, I’m afraid. I am doing much better now, thankyou in advance. :) Taking a break from these IQs was the […]
“You can be childlike without being childish. A child always wants to have fun. Ask yourself, ‘Am I having fun?’” – Christopher Meloni What a beautiful distinction: the difference between childlike and childish! I love it. I revel in being childlike as often as I can – playing games, being ridiculous, laughing, chasing seagulls, and always […]
