Quote of the Week!

There is a terrible hunger for love. We all experience that in our lives - the pain, the loneliness. We must have the courage to recognize it. The poor you may hve right in your own family. Find them. Love them.

- Mother Teresa, 1979 Nobel Peace Prize winner

Words to Live by...

Reflective Thought
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight. Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may just never be enough. Give the best you have anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it’s all between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
— Mother Theresa

We grew up founding our dreams on the infinite promise of American advertising. I still believe that one can learn to play the piano by mail and that mud will give you a perfect complexion.

Point to ponder...
How much influence does American advertising have on your every day life? Think about it!

So I thought it would be a great idea (tada!) to create this blog for people to stay up on what is happening in everyone's crazy lives (what a blog is for). So for those of you who love to waste time on the i-net (like me) you can actually have something (interesting or not) to read. At least if you are reading this you know me in some way, shape, or form...Things you might find here? Recipes, quotes, interesting websites, worthless information that I found in my surfing travels and much, much more! Have fun and I hope you are semi-enthused.
