“If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.”

― Will Rogers

Losing a beloved pet...

"It's more intense than losing a human."

 

"I’m hoping, my prayer is to go as gently and as much aware of my self leaving with gratitude and joy and the satisfaction that I’m done, I’m out of here, and it’s okay…and thanks, I want to say thanks and I’m grateful…Not try to figure anything out or understand it, but just be in awe.

What’s the secret of longevity?  It’s go slow."

Dot Fisher-Smith, 96

"It is not up to you" - there is some wisdom in that. We try to control so much that is not up to us... 

How much energy it takes and how much anxiety it creates. Sometimes it is wiser just to let things go their own way.

 

 

If you’ve made it through deep suffering and still choose love, awareness, and truth—

you are already extraordinary.

 

"About the effects of intergenerational trauma. We must heal our lives and close the wounds, 

to leave a legacy of love and peace for our children."

These jerks were born on third base and when they cross home plate they think it’s a home run.

Bingo! 🎯👏😏

 

Here’s the Golden Rule:

Lead with empathy, follow with expertise - but only when invited.

 

 

Once a man asked His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama: 'What surprises You the most?'

'Man! Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.'

The Value of Education

 "Education is one thing no one can take away from you." 

This quote beautifully articulates how knowledge is a form of power that is intangible and inherently safe from external forces.

Toxic People

 

How to deal with a toxic person:

    "You know, I hope that whatever is hurting you gets better soon."

Let your peace shine so bright their drama makes them look ridiculous in comparison.
