And he said that he thought of stories and he knew the stories, could see the stories completely, but he could never find the door. Somehow that first sentence was never there. And without the door, he couldn't do the story. I've never experienced that. But it's a chilling thought.

P. G. WodehouseBe blessed. And just as you are transforming your own life, may you transform the lives of those around you. When they ask, do not forget to give.

First, though, ask; knock at the door and find what is missing in your life. A hunter always knows what to expect - eat or be eaten.

What a pair of lungs! She shrieked as I imagined an eagle would shriek. It felt wonderful to be alive to hear it! I've gone looking for that feeling everywhere.
