 Inspiration - June 2009
Thought for the week of 06/29-07/05, 2009
Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.
--Unknown
Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.
--Norman Cousins
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
--Mahatma Gandhi
Living beings die all the time, all over the world. It's an undeniable fact of life. We all die. It's not depressing to talk about it unless we view it as such. It's simply a part of life. Views, beliefs, feelings vary about our mortality. I have recently experienced loss of people close to me. Also, there have been deaths of well known figures like Michael Jackson. We grieve and reminisce. Such events remind us about the nature of our existence and to reevaluate our lives.
I invite you to consider the quotes above to reflect on this week and take away what is valuable for you. I intend to.
Thought for the week of 06/22-06/28, 2009
I think teenagers get bad rep more often than not. We read and hear about their disturbing, unhealthy behaviors like stealing, lying, violent attacks on or even killing others. News media tends to focus on the negative too much and not enough on good deeds practiced by teens.
A 14 year old teenager named David Ashby exemplifies the latter. He plans to walk from Florida to Washington DC during this summer in order to raise public awareness to the 1.4 million homeless children in the US. He intends to sleep on the street and eat only free food given to him through begging. He will chronicle his audacious, inspiring experience on his blog.
How great is this young guy, how wonderfully creative and meaningful is this? Watch the video below to learn more about this remarkable person and his vision.

You can spend it any way you choose, but you can only spend it once. --Lillian DicksonFundamental truth about our life that consists of freedom, responsibility, limited opportunity are all rolled into this simple and yet powerful metaphor...don't you think?  Thought for the week of 06/01-06/07, 2009I love the landscape of the Southwest. Been to Arizona and New Mexico but not Utah yet. Viewing these images makes me want to jump into my car and hit the road. Come join me.
