1.
BAD! Kitty Quote(s) for the day!

Pree-vyet (informal),

Zdravstvuyte (formal) - means Hello in Russian

2. "The most distinctive mark of a cultured mind is the ability to take another's point of view; to put one's self in another's place, and see life and its problems from a point of view different from one's own. To be willing to test a new idea; to be able to live on the edge of difference in all matters intellectually; to examine without heat the burning question of the day; to have imaginative sympathy, openness and flexibility of mind, steadiness and poise of feeling, cool calmness of judgment, is to have culture."
~A. H. R. Fairchild

3. "I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed but I am bound to live the best life that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right and part from him when he goes wrong. "
~Abraham Lincoln

Becoming authentic...Telling my story

as it unfolds,

the fear and

shame leaves

me with each

truth told.

I am leaving behind the idea's

processes

coping skills

and negative tapes

that have carried

me here

riding

on the crest

of the chaos.

Embracing the truth

about of me

and my past

and my future

and my present

self.

Finding my natural center point

a

point

of

perfect

balance

between the

destruction

addictions

and fears

and the

strength

intelligence

compassion

grace

wisdom

and

joy.

The fulcrum of

this balancing act

my

character

persistently

instigation

that I

am

a

machine of love.

I am a

Love machine

the facts

of my life.

Struggling thru

this maze

I find that

maybe the

facts of life

can be changed

altered

made new

and become tools

of creation.

Creation

of

balance.

Today I am inside

looking out

thru the magical

portals

of my

inner

world.

Reaping, sowing

and harvesting

the cream of my crop

and Turning the rest

under again

to further

decompose

and become

fertile

for the next

Harvest.

Today

I

Sow

a

new seed.

Conviction.

I will tend

to my crop

as a good

farmer

should.

Weeding

watering

feeding

sheltering

and

trusting

it will grow.

Crops

fail

even under the

best

care.

Farmers

shake their

heads...

and

start again.

Crops may fail

many times

and be turned under

again and again.

The farmer knows

the destruction

will feed

the next

crop

destruction

becomes

fertile

upon

repeated

turning under.

The soil

takes what

it needs

and

grows new life.

I am that new life.

My crop is tender.

My terra firma

fertile.

Come

Watch me grow.

***

All the best today to you,

Heather
