Excerpt from the Alchemist ~ ‘Because it isn’t love to be static like the desert, nor is it love to roam the world like the wind. And its not love to see everything from a distance, like you do. Love is the force that transforms and improves the soul of the world. When I first reached through to it I thought the soul of the world was perfect. But later I could see that it was like the other aspects of creation and had its own passions and wars. It is we who nourish the soul of the world, and the world we live in will be wither better or worse, depending on whether we become better or worse. And that’s where the power of love comes in. Because when we love, we always strive to become better then we are.’
Frank Outlaw~ Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Hellen Keller~ When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body? Until the spirit of love for our fellow men, regardless of race, color or creed, shall fill the world, making real in our lives and our deeds the actuality of human brotherhood- until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other’s welfare, social justice can never be attained.
IF IT IS TO BE IT IS UP TO ME. * 10 Most poweful 2 letter words. *
It is the perfect time to connect with your dreams and turn them into reality. The universe will support you.
Marianne Williamson~ The future is not fixed! A set of probabilities, a karmic consequence of the lives we lived yesterday and the lives we live today. The bridge to the future is a bridge that moves- and the land to which it is connected moves as well- according to how we walk across the bridges and who we are while walking.
Seamus Heaney~ You have reached a stepping stone in your life, a place where you can pause for a moment and enjoy the luxury of looking back on the distance covered; but the thing about stepping stones is that you always need to find another one up there ahead of you. Even if it is panicky in midstream, there is no going back.
Somehow so many of us have forgotten that truth, honesty compassion, empathy, and laughter help us all. Those qualities are inside all of our cores. Do you remember? We need to recommit, get inspired and get serious. “Human beings and the natural world are on a collision course.” Can we get back on track?
Theodore Hesburgh~ My basic principle is that you don't make decisions because they are easy; you don't make then because they are cheap; you don't make them because they are popular; you make them because they are right.
To the plus-entity of a man, all things are possible. The world belongs to him, - is his estate. He fears naught, dreads naught, stops at naught; he asks no privileges, but demands them; he dominates, and cannot cringe; his requests are orders; opposition flees at his approach; he levels mountains, fills in vales, and travels on an even plane where stumbling is unknown.
Toni Morrison ~ The function of freedom is to free someone else.
When the why gets stronger the how gets easier.
William Penn~ I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.

The City Of Sin

We just got back from Las Vegas a few days ago. This is the first time I have had a free moment to sit and post something. WOW it was great out west.

I have traveled to quite a few different states but my favorite by far are the ones out west. I love California and Nevada!

We went out there for our annual convention for Pre-paid Legal and there were about 15,000 people there. It took 3 hours to give away all the incentive money.

You all should have been there!

I got an awesome ring. ( I will have to take a picture of it. )
