On LJ
Somewhere in this journal is the truth and beauty of my life.
Entries are snapshots, word-pictures of my experiences.
My LJ is my beloved scrapbook.
I asked some of my LJ friends to write a comment about me and here's what I got:
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) blackestsheep said, "I find you to be thoughtful, compassionate and extremely insightful.You were on my friends list for months, one day I decided to randomly read your entire journal, and I wondered how I missed such a positive person among my LJ friends. You're an incredible Woman, I've enjoyed the celebration you call your life and can’t wait to see what’s next!"
macaroni_salad replied, "I think you're an empath, strong, and awesome"
psychicsamurai responded with, "I think of you as deep, sincere, and strong."
Some of my favorite quotes:
I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.
-James A. Baldwin
If one advances confidently in the directions of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will be a success unexpected in common hours.
-Henry David Thoreau
There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.
-John F. Kennedy
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is not path and leave a trail.
-George Bernard Shaw
The man who does things makes mistakes, but he never makes the biggest mistake of all - doing nothing.
-Benjamin Franklin
Conformity leads to mediocrity.
-J. Krishnamurti
For communication to have meaning it must have a life. It must transcend "you" and "me" and become "us"...In a small way we then grow out of our old selves and become something new.
-Hugh Prather
