Forgiveness is a form of gratitude. When we forgive others, we show them the mercy that we have often received and been thankful for.

...start thinking of yourself as an artist and your life as a work-in-progress. Works-in-progress are never perfect. But changes can be made...Art evolves. So does life. Art is never stagnant. Neither is life. The beautiful, authentic life you are creating for yourself is your art. It's the highest art.

Expect to have hope rekindled. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.

Let's choose today to quench our thirst for the 'good life' we thinks others lead by acknowledging the good that already exists in our lives. We can then offer the universe the gift of our grateful hearts.

Success doesn't have to pull, tug, or chafe if we wear our real size.

... we can no longer afford to throw away even one 'unimportant' day by not noticing the wonder of it all. We have to be willing to discover and then appreciate the authentic moments of happiness available to all of us every day.

Too often we elevate the inconsequential into the influential... by reacting without reflecting.
