I think one of the finest gifts I can give my friends in the holiday season is to pause with a long enough quality to actually SEE them. My calm, unhurried presence communicates this gift of a message, "I see you. I recognize you. I remember our times of together and am contributing right now to another quality memory. I value you and honor and take the time, right this moment to pause long enough to truly notice you."

Your success will shine as a light of hope and inspire numbers you cannot total.

Belief fuels our decisions - even when we are not clearly aware of those beliefs.

In all things and in all ways, choice impacts virtually every element of our life. It bears repeating that even those things which seem out of reach of our choice are governed by how we choose to perceive them.

Tonight, late, when I'm still not done with the day but must comply with sleep, I can whisper, "There was done a little good today. Today I changed myself and the world, just a little. And yes, I loved." Most days, that is enough.

Shake structures. School yourself. Look twice at a thing, once upside down. Answer yourself clearly.

Capture a shadow, dance with the wind, stand in a rainbow, begin at the end.
