“That is what marriage really means: helping one another to reach the full status of being persons, responsible and autonomous beings who do not run away from life.” ~Paul Tournier
We may not be married but I’d like to think, if I/our relationship has done anything for Taylor, it would be this. He’s also […]

Yeah..Obviously I’m still fretting over the whole Lied To situation of a couple weeks ago. That’s the problem with lies… even if you forgive someone you can’t really get it out of your mind as easily.
“The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do […]

“Man is the only animal whose desires increase as they are fed; the only animal that is never satisfied.” ~Henry George

“False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil” ~Plato
Well ain’t that the truth.
I got lied to the other day. Those who know me know that lying is one of very few things I actually HATE; one of very few things that will infect my soul with evil; […]

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond belief.It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? Your playing […]

Today the ideal body is… odd. The women you see in fashion magazines are stick thin with no real curves. Icky but realistic. If a girl is that thin she’s not going to have many curves. Yet…All the movie stars and famous people are just as thin, sickly so (to me) […]
