“Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give. It is by giving warmth and affection, by having a genuine sense of concern for others, in other words through compassion, that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness. More important than being loved, therefore, is to love.”

-Dalai Lama

When in doubt:
add a pinch more salt; slow down; be nice; help; smile; pray; leap; love; leave a little extra; turn it up; be silent; believe; laugh out loud; breathe…. whatever you do, always do it with honesty, integrity and dedication -no matter how small or insignificant you may think your action is.

“The first beneficiary of compassion is always oneself. When compassion, or warmheartedness, arises in us and our focus shifts away from our own narrow self-interest, it is as if we open an inner door. It reduces fear, boosts confidence and brings us inner strength. By reducing distrust, it opens us to others and brings us a sense of connection to others, and sense of purpose and meaning in life.” –Dalai Lama

My dad lights my life; from fixing a strand of my favorite Christmas lights to installing one under the hood if I ever need to check oil in the dark, from front to back – he’s got it covered. A master of all trades, he once told me he could fix anything -except a broken heart [so don’t get one]… Love him :*)

Feeding frenzy….

While this cub, as well as the other few I had the chance to play with, may be cute and cuddly sweet-looking, they were nothing but killers on the inside. My friends and I were warned of the potential dangers of the lil ones sneaking up and attacking our neck from behind; yikes! They’re quite strong and definitely dangerous – nothing as I had imagined them to be while watching tv.. :*) I’m very glad I got this opportunity to ride an airboat, watch our “tourguide” snatch a gator from the water with his bare hands, and to be able to appreciate these creatures for what they really are: beautiful and wild.

More fundamental than religion is our basic human spirituality. We have a basic human disposition towards love, kindness and affection, irrespective of whether we have a religious framework or not. When we nurture this most basic human resource – when we set about cultivating those basic inner values which we all appreciate in others, then we start to live spiritually. -Dalai Lama
