None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

That inner voice that I have been ignoring for far too many years, today will be getting my attention! Listening to others views of me and thoughts of what I can accomplish is biased information. My inner voice is my personal guide.

"Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footsteps on the moon."

- Anon.


I set my goals high so that when I reach them the challenge getting there is fulfilling.

Just a word from me

I feel compelled to say something here and I hope that you can hear the sincerity in my words and leave with an understanding of what I am sharing. I have lost so many people in my life to the Angel of Death; from grandparents, and cousins, to young nephews and friends. This last death is so profound for me because I was there.

He came home from work, ate, enjoyed some time with his wife and in a moment it was over.

The memories and pain, the unaccomplished goals and plans to never happen, words that will never be said or heard. All in a moment. A passing second, not a here today and gone tomorrow even though that is a true statement; but in a flash the mere blink of an eye everyone and everything had transformed into something post that blink.

Tell those you love you love them often, forgive those that you have held anger toward, reconnect with someone that is important to you. Swallow the pride and make peace. We are given one opportunity and none of us know how long we have. My nephew had only 14 years, my friend that just passed had 39 years and my grandmother had over 80 and none of them were enough time for those that loved them.

If you can't make amends you can still let them know that you love them. Don't let them go without you knowing that they know and don't you die without having let them know what you really felt.

"All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly.
AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES."
