Curating What Fills Your Mind Can Shape Your Resilience
The author writes “Being resilient means you have already come through “many dangers, toils and snares.” Hopefully, you will become stronger, more mature, and compassionate. Being resilient means you have successfully broken through the darkness you confronted.
This means you have light to offer others, too. You have insights to share that can help someone else avoid an error you made yourself. Maybe you can calm someone’s fear as they face a procedure you had yourself.
Share the light. Share the wisdom life has taught you. You may well be someone’s answered prayer.”
That is the very purpose of this website — to share the light and wisdom through curation and occasionally, creation. I could just bookmark this content and keep it to myself by I share it here (and automagically to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and X) in hopes that just one other person might stumble upon it and benefit from it.

5 Traits Of Sweet, Committed Men That May Seem Like Red Flags At First
“If you have someone who looks at you with love, who puts up with your baggage, who is willing to actually listen and respond in kind, who doesn’t disappear only to return a few days later with excuses, who doesn’t leave you behind on a Saturday, keep that guy around.
A man who is nice is not a red flag! It might seem like it would be boring and not a challenge, but the truth is, if you have someone who loves you a lot, don’t push them away. Try opening your heart to someone who might be different from people you have dated before.
In most relationships, there’s always one person who loves the other more. And that dynamic can often flip. If you have someone who likes you more, don’t run. You might find that the shoe is on the other foot sometime in the not too distant future.
So, take a risk. Try out a nice guy. You might be very happy you did.” Source: 5 Traits Of Sweet, Committed Men That May Seem Like Red Flags At First

How to Enjoy the Holidays as a Highly Sensitive Person
“The holidays are meant to be a cherished time of togetherness with family and friends, a time to switch off from work, relax and have fun.
But for highly sensitive people (HSPs), the festive period can trigger a lot more fear than it does cheer.
Between extended periods of socializing, decorating, entertaining, gift buying and endless holiday to-do lists, HSPs can easily get overwhelmed during the holiday season. It’s a recipe for anxiety and marrow-sucking exhaustion – which is not how anyone wants to enter 2024!
Thankfully, HSPs can learn to enjoy and even relax over the holidays with a few simple tricks.” Source: How to Enjoy the Holidays as a Highly Sensitive Person

Obituary information for Raymond J. Bonelli
Ray is third from left in this photo above…
I didn’t know until I read his obituary how much older than me Ray was or what he did for a living. I knew Ray when I was in high school and when you’re a self absorbed 17 year old, you don’t always pay attention to other people or understand how important they really are in your growth and development and how you’ll carry that forward…

Bruce Lee’s Never Before Revealed Letters to Himself About Authenticity, Personal Development, and the Measure of Success
“This is the entire essence of life: Who are you? What are you?” So wrote young Leo Tolstoy in his diary of moral development. Bruce Lee (November 27, 1940–July 20, 1973) was around Tolstoy’s age when he turned to this central question of existence more than a century later and approached it with the same subtleness of insight and sincerity of spirit with which he approached all of life.
