Losing perfection & finding Yourself

"The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself." - Anna Quindlen

Life Lived

"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you really need to do, in order to have what you want."

-Margaret Young

Love

"Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them-we can only love others as much as we love ourselves."

-Brené Brown

Morality

“Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

Contribute

When considering Christmas gifts this year, please consider the gift of Heifer.  Donate a flock of geese, ducks or chicks, maybe a trio of rabbits or a knitting basket in honor of a friend or loved one.  It's a wonderful way to let your loved one know you care not only about them but about the world around them.  Please visit http://www.heifer.org/ to view their gift catalog.  You will help support a local Arkansas charity as well.  They do great work in the fight to end world hunger.
