Pain is an Opportunity to Learn!

There is Wisdom and Power in Pain

Pain teaches you many things about yourself.  

It shows you just what you are made of and how to overcome obstacles.  

It becomes an opportunity to view the world and other people through a completely new set of eyes.

  Pain allows us to grow, to reach, and to achieve a higher awareness of self.

Pain is an opportunity to learn.

~Kim Franklin-Magana

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.

When you know yourself you are empowered.

Cheer yourself UP!

“The best way to cheer yourself up

is to try to cheer somebody else up.”

~ Mark Twain

On Nov. 30, 1835, the small town of Florida, Mo. witnessed the birth of its most famous son. Samuel Langhorne Clemens was welcomed into the world as the sixth child of John Marshall and Jane Lampton Clemens. Little did John and Jane know, their son Samuel would one day be known as Mark Twain - America's most famous literary icon. 

Approximately four years after his birth, in 1839, the Clemens family moved 35 miles east to the town of Hannibal. A growing port city that lie along the banks of the Mississippi, Hannibal was a frequent stop for steam boats arriving by both day and night from St. Louis and New Orleans.
