You are more than your body, your mind, your personality, and your ego. You are a great soul with access to these hidden truths whenever you need them.
“Everything that happens to you is a reflection of what you believe about yourself. We cannot outperform our level of self-esteem. We cannot draw to ourselves more than we think we are worth.” ~Iyanla Vanzant

Think of something you have thus far failed to achieve or create. Now answer this question: Is it because you couldn’t, you didn’t really want to, or both?

Spring, in all her glory, dares the frosty air. Do we? Do we dare to shake off the wintry cold that hardens hearts and dampens dreams? Do we dare to bloom today, to become that which is best in our hearts, and that which most inspires our spirit?
I prefer the term self-compassion, but the process is similar…

Everything begins with the resolve to take the first step. From that action, wisdom arises & change begins. Without action, nothing changes.

Admit it.
You’ve tried everything and still your inner gremlin is destined to outlive your earthly existence.
You’ve tried resisting it.
You’ve tried ignoring it.
You’ve tried to replace it with a more positive, cuddly gremlin. You’ve even tried intimidating it.
Nevertheless it persists, immortal and ever present, torturing you with negativity, doubt, and using its familiarity with you to exploit your deepest, darkest fears.

In 2005, WordPress became modular separating the design and architecture from the core programming code.
Today, a WordPress Theme contains files called template files that hold the architecture of the site and template tags, code that initiates actions within the site and data from the database. The design is applied through a stylesheet, holding the instructions for the colors, images, and look and feel of the entire site.
This tutorial covers the basics of the structure of a WordPress Theme and standard customization options.
Like all websites today, a WordPress site contains a background area, header, sidebar(s), content area, and footer.
The background area is considered the canvas that the site’s structural and design elements rest. It is usually a solid color, pattern, texture, or a design that does not overwhelm the rest of the content and design elements.
The header area…

I find this post from Mastin Kipp thought provoking:
Continue reading “Why ALL are equal in front of the law & an apology from one Christian”“BUT, as a lover of Jesus, it breaks my heart to see so many “Christians” hate so many people. I believe to be a Christian simply means to try your best to be Christ-like, and all that means is to be as LOVING as possible. I have a tattoo of a cross on my left arm and it says on it only two words, “Be Love”. It’s my constant reminder that no matter what path we walk in the world, Love is always the bottom line. And Love has many different forms.
I believe that there is no stopping an idea whose time has come, and the time for marriage equality has come.
Jesus didn’t say, “Love the sinner, hate the sin” – he simply said above all else, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” So on behalf of all Christians, please accept my apology if any of us have made you feel hated, judged or criticized for who you were born to be – be it gay, straight or anything else.
You were made perfectly. You are perfect. And as so many stand in judgment, perhaps you could give them a little dose of Jesus and simply utter the prayer “Forgive them Father, they know not what they do.”

“We often take for granted the very things
that most deserve our gratitude.”
―Cynthia OzickHow often do you pause to appreciate your life? How often do you stop dead in your tracks and think, “Goodness, I have it pretty darn good”?
Even when life is far from perfect, it’s important to keep things in perspective. Many people in this world wish they had what you have. Here’s why:

The folks at MentalFloss share this:
In this episode of Computer Chronicles, the team goes in-depth on “The Internet,” a trendy topic in 1995. It starts with host Stewart Cheifet in a new-fangled “Internet Cafe,” complete with bulky CRT display and tiny espresso cup — and its datedness just gets more intense from there. Need to know the best FTP site to download the Mosaic Web browser? John Markoff of the NYT will tell you (he’ll also tell you how he gets email from Steve Jobs, and show you how he makes email filters in Eudora). Want to know the inside story of how the geek band Severe Tire Damage streamed (sorry, multicast over the Internet MBone) a concert online? It’s all here. Seriously, you guys, this made me guffaw so many times — not because it’s dumb, but because I lived all this stuff and it’s shocking to me just how amazing it all was and how extraordinarily dated it now seems. Enjoy:

In the 1840s, Benjamin Disraeli, still a long way from being prime minister, wanted to wake people up to the plight of the British working class — and move them to act. The alarm he sounded wasn’t delivered in a speech, a pamphlet, or an article — but in a novel, Sybil, published in 1845. It had the desired effect — raising awareness, provoking outrage, and leading to the passage of several fundamental social reforms.
Disraeli knew that one of the most effective ways to touch people is through narrative — putting flesh and blood on raw facts and data. Ever since I read Sybil when I was at Cambridge, I’ve loved thinkers and writers and gadflies who use storytelling to reach people and get us to act. Of course, since Disraeli’s time, other powerful ways of telling those stories have emerged — including movies.
And so it was that I found myself moderating a panel discussion last week with the director and two cast members (Frank Grillo and Marc Jacobs — yes, that Marc Jacobs!) of a movie that uses storytelling to wake us up to one of the biggest problems of our modern age: the effect that being “connected” to technology 24/7 is having on our ability to connect with our lives, ourselves and the people we love.

“…Work is love made visible.
And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.
For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man’s hunger.
And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine.
And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man’s ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.”
– Kahlil Gibran, (1883-1931) from The Prophet – “On Work”
