Love is trusting, accepting, and believing, without guarantee. Love is patient and waits, but it's an active waiting, not a passive one. For it is continually offering itself in a mutual revealing, a mutual sharing. Love is spontaneous and craves expression through joy, through beauty, through truth, even through tears.

People are not here to meet your expectations.

There is only the moment. The now. Only what you are experiencing at this second is real.

My rule is always, People first and things second.

In the end you have only you.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

A life without love, no matter how many other things we have, is an empty, meaningless one.
