Come on, don't you ever stop and smell the coffee?

Hey, if it's a good philosophy, it works. Death is imminent. Live every day like it's your last.

Let the glossy spreads have their heart-stopping, head-turning kind of beauty. Give me the heart-filling beauty instead. Jolie laide, that's what I would choose. Flawed, we're truly interesting, truly memorable, and yes, truly beautiful.

You would be surprised what two hours of daily exercise and five hundred stomach crunches can do for you.

Forgiving others is easier when I remember that I'm human and stupid, too.

I didn't know that the world could be so mind-blowingly beautiful.

That's exactly why nature always trumps gardens. Gardens are just reality pruned of chaos. What doesn't work you rip out.
