Grow the roses…

“Up from the ashes, grow the roses of success.”
Ok, don’t hate me. But I think this might be my song for 2009. “When it gets distressing, it’s a blessing.”
Most people are starting their New Year today. I hope it is a blessed start to an adventure filled year.
Happy Monday!

Great love.

“We cannot all do great things,
but we can do small things with great love.”
–Mother Theresa of Calcutta

Happy Monday!

I’m on the mend. With any luck, [...]

Responsibility lies with each of us.

“Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries
or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job.
It lies with each of us individually.
Peace, for example, starts within each one of us.
When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us.”
–HH the Dalai Lama
