Snap Out of IT!

You 
can't 
wake a person

who 
is pretending
to be asleep.

~ Navajo Proverb

DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE!

"The two most important days 

in your life 

are the day you are born 

and the day 

you find out why."

~Mark Twain

Explore your world...OUR WORLD!

L I V E... N O W !

Life is an experience of endless possibilities!  

What you choose and how much you choose, is all up to you.

Taste the richness of beauty all around you and bathe in the vastness of knowing you could never achieve the completion of realizing all there is to appreciate and understand about the place we live.

But, never give up trying, anyway.

~Kim Franklin-Magana

The Power of LOVE!

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, 

and man cannot live without love.

~Max Muller

Day By Day!

"He who is silent is forgotten; he who abstains is taken at his word; he who does not advance, falls back; he who stops is overwhelmed, distanced, crushed; he who ceases to grow greater becomes smaller; he who leaves off, gives up; the stationary condition is the beginning of the end—it is the terrible symptom which precedes death. To live, is to achieve a perpetual triumph: it is to assert one's self against destruction, against sickness, against the annulling and dispersion of one's physical and moral being. It is to will without ceasing, or rather to refresh one's will day by day."

~Henri-Frédéric Amiel

What is L O V E ?

Love

 is oxygen 

for the soul.
(pass it on...)

~Kim Franklin-Magana

Y O U ! IMAGINE the Possibilities!

"Possibly the greatest waste in life

is    the    gap 
between

what    you    are

 and what you could become.”

~Zig Ziglar

Change...is gonna do you good.

"It is not the strongest of the species that survive,

nor the most intelligent,

but the one most responsive to change."

~ Charles Darwin

Your Real Passion is in Your Dreams!

Don't ask yourself what the world needs;

ask yourself what makes you come alive,

and then go and do that.

Because what the world needs

are people who have come alive.

~ Harold Whitman

(1899-1981)

THIS is true!

This country will not be a good place

for any of us to live in unless

we make it a good place for all of us

to live in. 

~Theodore Roosevelt

Another Day....

Another beautiful day, another beautiful gift!

RULES of Life!

Life is uncertain.

Eat dessert first.

~Ernestine Ulmer

Dare To Be YOU!

“Let us dare to be ourselves, 
for we do that better than 
anyone else can.”

~ Shirley Briggs

Be who you really are!

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 they will be happier. 

The way it actually works is the reverse. 
You must first be who you really are, 
then do what you need to do, 
in order to have what you want.

~Margaret Young

TRUST

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.

~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Just Laugh!

Just laugh, smile, and enjoy!

 Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog — few people are interested, 
and the frog dies.

~ E.B. White, "A Sub-treasury of American Humor"

Writing...

We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection.
~Anais Nin



The Best of All Things...

Water is the best of all things.

Life originated in the sea, and about eighty percent of it is still there.

ISAAC ASIMOV, Isaac Asimov's Book of Science and Nature Quotations, 1988

Eternal Truths...

We live in the present,

we dream in the future,

but we learn eternal truths

from the past.

~Unknown
