wcw – creating a world that reflects our heart
“The only way to gain power in a world that is moving too fast is to learn to slow down. And the only way to spread one’s influence wide is to learn how to go deep. The world we want for ourselves and our children will not emerge from electronic speed but rather from a spiritual stillness that takes root in our souls. Then, and only then, will we create a world that reflects the heart instead of shattering it.”
– Marianne Williamson
wcw – beauty in the being of you
“Sometimes people are beautiful.

Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.”

** I’ve got three of Bear’s friends crammed in the backseat and we’re on the way to a lock-in at the trampoline park. It’s a 45 minute drive, just long enough for them to crank some tunes. More than long enough for me to sing along at the top of my lungs.
** Bear, T-man, and I were treating ourselves to burgers and sundaes one night when what may be the worst singer ev-er took stage and began banging out covers on his keyboard. If eardrums could burst from offensive music then we would have finished off dinner in urgent care. As it was I figured I could lighten the mood with a little diner booth boogie. The looks of utter horror on my kids’ faces made the whole experience worthwhile.
wcw – dreaming and becoming
“Don’t worry if people think you’re crazy. You are crazy. You have that kind of intoxicating insanity that lets other people dream outside of the lines and become who they’re destined to be.”
