Sheila DixonLike many people, I consider myself an incurable romantic, and there is a part of me that will always believe in walking off into the sunset to live happily ever after.

Barack ObamaThey say the full potential of the human being is called enlightenment, which is infinite consciousness, infinite happiness, zero negativity, zero dying, complete freedom, total fulfillment, and being at one with everything.
