Imagination is a Gift

This week’s theme is Imagination – and what a wonderful gift our imagination is! Everything we have and experience has been brought about through the imagination of those that have gone before us and all new technology and design is brought to us through others imagination – and we can do the same. From the [...]

Endure or Adore?

His hot putrid breath hits my thigh in short powerful pants, penetrating the material with moisture.
“Otis – Please!” I implore as I push his face away from my thigh. His body remains immobile and stiff as he simply stays in his too-close-to-me stance.
This is the joy and agony of an old dog. We detect no [...]

You are never too old to dream

Our final quote this week is from CS Lewis, one of my favorite authors. He gave us the last quote on dreams for this week when he said, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”

Dream and build

Today’s quote is one that made me stop and think – my favorite thing about quotes – they make me, or allow me, to stop and think – do I agree or disagree? Anyway – this quote is provided by Mary Manin Morrissey who said, “You block your dream when you allow your fear to [...]

A Call to Pursue Your Dreams

Carl Sandburg said something simple about life, “Nothing happens unless first we dream.”
This goes to what we say each day – are we present – are we creating our lives? Bravo to everyone who is – because somewhere you said, – I’m dreaming of an extra hour each day to do – what? –  you [...]

Allow Yourself to Dream

Learn, Relearn, Repeat

Someone insulted me last night. The details are unimportant however I’ve carried the insult for about 12 hours now, over night and into this page. Now it’s time to see it as the gift it is and share it with you for the benefit of both of us.
I learned and relearned more than once that [...]

Ideas are Plentiful!

Anne Heywood said this: “We must treat ideas somewhat as though they were baby fish. Throw thousands out into the waters. Only a handful will survive but that is plenty.”
It also implies that ideas are plentiful – which they are!
Joke of the week:
Jars and Bottles
A woman was trying hard to get the catsup to come [...]

Imagine the possibilities…

Grant Wood said something that made me smile about ideas, “All the really good ideas I ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.”
People don’t do that any more so what can we replace it with? Walking the dog, mowing the lawn – what do you do that is simple and [...]
