Your inner child wants to come out and play!!!


Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

wisdom


I see peace!!!!!!
I hope you do too.
Namaste,
Michele






This is how a human being can change:
there's a worm in the garden addicted to leaves.
Suddenly, it wakes up.
Call it grace, whatever you will,
something awakens it,
and its no longer a worm.
Now its flying over the entire garden,
and the orchard too,
with its fruit and its sea of leaves.
Inside is a growing wisdom and joy
that doesn't need to devour anything
anymore.

compassion




This program is coming to our schools. I am hoping that Macy gets picked to participate.
It is a very powerful program which deals with bullies. Bullying is a major problem in schools and even workplaces.
I have witnessed both lately. This is about spreading kindness and compassion to others. I think it is a big concern of Macy's school lately and on the minds of the faculty because a classmate of Macy's brought a loaded gun to school last year.

Love


"So many people walk around with [what some think is] a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."
— Mitch Albom
