A reminder that while aspiring in life,

it is important to contribute to the general greater good of humanity.

“Non nobis solum nati sumus."

(Not for ourselves alone are we born.)

This week's quote was inspired by a eulogy given by a remarkable young man for his father. The above quote was just one of many bits of wisdom he passed on to his sons. It also embodied how his father lived his life ~ a good and generous man

who contributed to the greater good of humanity with his words and deeds.

.I was lucky to have known him.

Rest in Peace John Caruso

 Do not let the world make you hard

 

"Be soft. 

Do not let the world make you hard. 

Do not let pain make you hate. 

Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. 

Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, 

you still believe it to be a beautiful place.”

Announcing the 13th Annual
One Word; One Year Project

  A fresh new year offers everyone the endless possibilities of positive change and new beginnings.   

Now that 2020 is thankfully over, it is time to begin the new year with a word(s) (NOT a resolution) that will serve as an overarching theme for the entire year as to who you want to be or how you want to live.  

My word this past year was Acceptance and given all the challenges of 2020, it served me well and I will miss it.  My guiding word(s) for this year is Let Go and it is based on this Tibetan reading that I stumbled upon: 

Let go of what is past

Let go of what may come

Let go of what is happening now

Don’t try to figure anything out

Don’t try to make anything happen

Relax right now and rest

 So what will be your word(s) or phrase that will guide you, serve as your compass, and/or serve as an overarching theme for 2021? 

 Please Share! 

And as always, a desktop wallpaper/poster with your word will be created and emailed to you free of charge (normally it's $49.99)
