My inspiration of the month….
With thanks to Craig who sent me the following link:

It involves the clever reuse of train cars. Now what I find so inspiring about this … well in college my friends and I found a couple of old wooden cabooses…sitting on abandoned tracks a short walk from our dorms. [...]
I was browsing Digg and ran across the following picture that someone took of some random street art in NYC.

I find it inspiring to find people who can be this creative, but equally refreshing that someone else can recognize it enough to want to photograph it.
I’ve been contemplating change a bit recently – well okay – a lot.
“Change is BAD, I hate change – I’m not good with change, I don’t like change – BUT it IS important.” – Deputy Chief Brenda Lee Johnson – The Closer – 3rd season premier – Episode – Homewrecker.
I rather agree with this quote [...]
I often hear people talk about our freedom…. and feel most strongly that fear and the need to “conform” in as many ways as possible eats at that very freedom.
I was reading a post by Lelia Thomas about freedom. And while the ideas are not new, they are well worth the re-telling. She writes [...]
Freedom lies in being bold.
– Robert Frost
This quote boldly lifted from another’s post about freedom. I’ve seen it before – and was reminded today that I wanted to add it to my personal quotes list.
Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. –Jonathan Swift
I came across this quote again the other day…I’ve liked this one for a long time.
Just trying to keep in mind:
“Mistakes are just the road to experience…. some roads are bumpier than others.” — C. S. Hafer 1/8/2007
I’ve been experiencing lots of “mistakes” as I’m working on my Wordpress theme… so I’m feeling like it’s a very bumpy road at the moment. And then I came across [...]
“Shame and guilt are tricks of the Ego that keep you stuck in place”
Another quote that I jotted down without the complete reference I really need to be checking on these to give the proper credit.
This was said to one of the gals of “Starting Over” by a guest/minister in an episode ….
“Fear is paying attention to what could possibly go wrong more than your vision” – from “Starting Over”
“Fear is mis-directed attention” – Iyanla Vanzant
I had these jotted down as reminders – but I forgot where I picked them up… probably a book. I’ll have to look for the correct reference.
Ha! Found them again…apparently [...]
Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time,’ is like saying, ‘ I don’t want to.’
~ Lao Tzu
I like to use this quote as the banner on the top of my “to do” list occasionally – usually when I’m feeling [...]
