I am the owner of my choices. I am the source for the perspectives I choose to hold regardless of how aware I am of why or how I come to possess that particular perspective. It takes courage to look into the mirror of our souls, absent excuses. I will look into that mirror little bits at a time. SEE and ACT. SEE what I can bear to see and ACT upon what I am able. This is the heart of a gentle invitation to personal responsibility.

Today is a gift I honor by fully living it.

It is not the easy or convenient life for which I search, but life lived to the edge of all that I may be.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

Courage doesn't always roar.

One unlikelihood entertained leads a parade of innovation.

Persevere. Plan. Strategize. Focus. Breathe. Write. Let go: relax. Forgive. All this failing: take a nap.
