Live boldly. Laugh Loudly. Love Truly. Play as often as you can Work as smart as you are able. Share your heart as deeply as you can reach.

I appreciate the boldness of gratitude in the quiet, unspoken depths and its ability to buoy another by being articulated.

This day I see that pretty much all my correspondences are love letters.

Making promises to myself, in my personal writing practice, has been important to me all my life. In practical application it is so much easier for me to make promises to others, and keep them, than it is to make promises to myself. "Why is that?" and the answer I gave myself is that in making promises to others I create a model of accountability and reinforcement. I duplicate that in my writing and have grown increasingly better at making and keeping promises to myself.

One service to need heals an ancient wound.

Judgment is discernment on a bad hair day.

A small compassionate act enlarges the scope of community.
