"There is no security in doing something for a living when you are dying inside while doing it. That is taking care of the body at the expense of the soul. And a

"It's sometimes nice to get everything decided, settled,

and arranged. But you may want to leave room in your

Who and how and why and when and where to love

often falls into this cagtegory".

~~ Neale Donald Walsch

"Mistakes are the portals of discovery."

~~ James Joyce
