Bio:Some favorite quotes might give you some idea about me....

"Far beyond religious belief and unbelief, there is an open plain. In the heart of that expansive place, bliss awaits us. The knower of God who reaches that place will bow down in humble adoration, for neither belief nor unbelief exist there, nor any concept of distance between us.” -Rumi

"The one who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despite, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God." Aeschylus, "Agamemnon"

"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,but that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Nelson Mandela (Marianne Williamson)

"Exercise is a dirty word...
Everytime I hear it, I wash
my mouth out with Chocolate."
Author unknown

"I know that you believe that you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure that you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it’s the only thing that ever has.” --Margaret Mead

There is absolutely nothing that you can ever do that will make God stop loving you.

"Bidden or not bidden, God is present." --Carl Jung

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly: what is essential is invisible to the eye.” The 'secret of the fox' in Saint Exupery’s "The Little Prince".
