Bio
I am a married mother of one gorgeous, smart mouthed daughter. I live in southern NC, study Buddhism and write mediocre fanfiction.

We are all beautiful and we are all damaged.

Use your time wisely. Say beautiful things, inspire, forgive, act physically to protect and help.
~Thich Nhat Hanh


We can know intellectually the properties of electricity, but that's nothing like being hit with a live wire.
~Ruben L.F. Habito

Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.
~Pema Chodron

For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.
~Carl Sagan

Rather than worry or obsess about enlightenment, why not be honest and accept that we will have our good days and our bad? We will have some enlightened moments of loving-kindness, as well as some dull ones. This encourages all of us to stay real and experience the moment as it is—not how we want it to be.
~Donald Altman

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.
~Buddha

We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers.
~Carl Sagan

Dwell not on the faults and shortcomings of others; instead, seek clarity about your own.
~Buddha

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
~Lao Tzu

Power over others is weakness disguised as strength. True power is within, and it is available to you now.
~Eckhart Tolle

In every country, we should be teaching our children the scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain decency, humility and community spirit. In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness.
~Carl Sagan

Just keep breathing.
~the wisest person I know, my husband
