Welcome!

If you're here, it's because I or someone you know, suggested you stop by to check out my blog. It has been a variety of things along the way, eventually ending up where it is today, a listing of daily quotes with my commentary on those that really "speak" to me and then, periodically, here and there along the way, I just may get a bit more winded and ramble on about something in life begging for my attention.

All in all, it tends to be about living life wholeheartedly with passion and joy. It's about being truthful and honest with one's self and becoming your own best friend. It's about being connected to people and the world around you. It's about being and individual.

So come along for the ride extracting from these pages what works for you living, loving and enjoying life!
