"I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion - I have shuddered at it. I shudder no more - I could be martyred for my religion - Love is my religion - I could die for that. "

Life is a Verb: 37 days to Wake Up, Be Mindful, and Live Intentionally...
a great new book I'm reading!

It's funny and wonderful and inspiring. I plan to buy more as gifts this year.

Here's my favorite part so far:

"Go to the grocery store today. Buy five packages of birthday candles. Use them with wild abandon... Never be without your candles. I travel with a pack because you never know when a celebration will break out."


In a nut shell: be generous, speak up, love more, say yes, trust yourself, and slow down.

... but I'm not the only one

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one.


Happy Veterans Day
