from book –

We can make our lives a living nightmare or heaven on earth depending on our stance and perspective. It takes courage to thwart resistance from discomfort, and to also, live through it. Yet, when we recognize our true selves – our limits, flaws, frailties AND our gifts – we move forward.  We can then express and release emotion in wondrous, deeper ways.  Unfortunately, unacceptable, undeserved twists of fate and tragedies befall all human beings. No one gets a pass. We accept and enjoy life by yielding to the roller coaster ride. Let go of your expectations. Surely, acknowledging there is never a dull moment keeps it interesting. And, it frees us to welcome surprises that linger and wait just around the corners, descents, climbs and bends of this thrilling trip.
