		<description>What an amazing quote by Marianne Williamson!

I have a lot to say, but it is nearly 3am and I don&#039;t want to say it incorrectly out of fatigue. 

Thank you for sharing.

		<description>@Karen,

You are welcome, my friend - we continue to challenge each other - feeding off of the energy - and that is good!

@Monika,

Thank *you* for stopping in to say hi, and for all that *you* do.  We do need to be reminded from time to time, I agree, and so I read that passage every day and keep moving forward.  Soon, soon... we will get there!</description>

		<description>Thank you for saying that Brett. I know that goodness is within each one of us and that we are a lot stringer than we&#039;d sometimes like to believe too. It&#039;s great though to be reminded every once in a while.

		<description>@All,

I was out of the box for Father&#039;s Day, and today I wrote responses to a lot of you when... the battery on my work laptop died the death - instantly, completely, no warning - and I lost the replies, because I write them in a text editor then paste them in... ack.

Anyhoo... :)

@Patricia,

Thank you, and you&#039;re welcome - I am happy that this has given you some food for thought - and I agree, Rebecca and Evelyn&#039;s comments built on it.

@Ellen,

I agree - Star Wars does have a very spiritual side to it, which makes it enjoyable in many ways for adults who can see beyond the space opera.  I watched some of them with my oldest child and it was kind of fun.  He sees the light sabers and blasters, and I can see the story behind the story.

And thank you!  Yes, we do celebrate Father&#039;s Day.  Friar and I burned all of my wood on Saturday evening, so I&#039;ll have to get more for the next pagan holiday...

@Kelly,

Thank you very much - and your dad is the best dad, for sure, because he made you!

^ ^
. .
 ^
 o

@RLD,

Thank you very much - I&#039;m glad that my writing gave you something to accompany your coffee - and we really do have all we need - just need to go for it!  As Ellen said, jump over the fire!

@Wendi,

Thank you very much, my friend.  Everybody looked after me - then again, they always do :)

@steph,

I liked that quote so much, I&#039;m going to have to track down more of Marianne&#039;s work and read it - very good stuff.  Thank *you*, and you&#039;re welcome too.

What you said is so true - people will just settle for what they have, when they can do so much more.  Now, this doesn&#039;t mean &quot;don&#039;t be happy with what you have&quot;.

I believe we should all be very grateful for what we have.  Yet, we can - we must - reach for more, for our potential.  We are all great - and as you say, what would the world be like if we all explored our potential to its fullest?

How much better would the world be if just *one* of us did that?

@Crystal,

Thank *you* for your continued inspiration, you and I are in many ways in the same place in our lives, going through the same trials.  You *are* proving it, right now.

@Patricia again,

I look forward to reading that article - I know it will be very good.

@Janice,

Isn&#039;t that video just great?  Thank you for your encouragement - we all can, and will.

@Crystal again,

Juneteenth - that sounds great!  Maybe I&#039;ll have to play hooky that day :)

@All again,

I re-read my own words today.  I looked at the little index card in the mirror in my bathroom before work.

Today, sitting in a meeting - I knew.  I knew, and I know, that I have everything I need.  Writing these little pieces, and chatting with you in the comments, helps give me the push I need to go after it.

Let&#039;s go after it together.</description>
