A few quotes

Hey there kiddos!  Well, things are slowly sinking in.  It will probably be a few days before I'm out of the middle of the emotions and can write about the last few days with some semblance of coherence.  :-)  Until then, I thought I would share a few quotes from friends after hearing the news...

Just reading Lost and Found and thought you'd appreciate this quote right about now on telling the TRUTH about our situations (in a light way despite its contents!): p. 183, Geneen Roth says Buddhist teacher Stephen Levine once said, "the only people he knows who have their shit together are standing in it at the same time." Humbling and relieving, huh?

Here's another one...

Did it ever occur to you that the Universe was showing you the opposite... that the squirrel got killed because he let FEAR take over?

And finally, this blog landed in my email this afternoon:

Honesty can feel uncomfortable in the short-term. I’ve often struggled with being fully myself, asking for what I need, and saying no when people ask for things I don’t want to give. But everything good in my life has come from the decision to honor my own truth.
We all have countless opportunities to do this from one day to the next. Today when you have a choice to be true to yourself or please someone else, ask yourself: Would you rather be honest and temporarily uncomfortable, or slowly convince yourself that what you want, need, and believe doesn’t matter?
