Every moment a gift: are you unwrapping yours now, and now, and now?

Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.

The Character built out of restrictions and boundaries can be deceiving. Be aware!!

We all need illusions. That's why we love movies.

The worst thing in life is boredom. When people don't know what to do with themselves, they are very, very poor.

The trouble is that no devastating or redeeming fires have ever burnt in my life.... My life began by flickering out.
