I truly have come to believe that there are only two states of being that generate our thoughts: LOVE or FEAR.

In life, when you start to fall, you don't have to go crazy, scolding yourself and further throwing yourself off balance. Instead, simply make adjustments.

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest as a young girl, whenever I felt emotionally overwhelmed, I would take a walk in the woods. Being in the stillness and grandeur of trees had always calmed me.

It feels good to rail against what is wrong in the world, to fight the good fight, to beat the drum of making a difference. I am right there with you.

"Balance" as a verb doesn't mean "stillness," but the constant act of making minor corrections from one side to another to bring one towards a center of stability.

I make the necessary "corrections" if I find myself leaning too far in one direction.

The mind and heart is the field upon which war is waged within us. If we can stop that internal fear-based battle, then those outside of us will be affected as well.

There is a polarizing and dualistic experience occurring politically and economically in the world, and I believe we are near the peak of a cyclical and truly chaotic time.

Nine times out of ten it's a minor shift in your focus and your attitude that makes the difference.

I have recently decided that there is no place in my head or my heart for fear anymore.

It is a crucial time to be mindful of our thoughts.

...sometimes when you are lost for direction, you are open to a new way of seeing.

My family brought me up to be very respectful of people.

I do not believe that Donald Trump is a member of the Alt- right.

I'm a layperson. I barely got out of high school. I have no business telling people what to do or my big philosophy on life. I'm certainly not going to write any sort of memoir.

The spider is an animal who eats mosquitoes. That's why I love the spider - it is the only way we have to deal with these insects.

What, then, is the true Gospel of consistency? Change. Who is the really consistent man? The man who changes. Since change is the law of his being, he cannot be consistent if he stick in a rut.

Computers are stupid.

Sometimes we become what we see. Sometimes we take what we see and make it the model for what we refuse to become.
