I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby.

Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession. That which each can do best, none but his Maker can teach him.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

You have to do many things yourself. Things that you cannot delegate.

Nadine Gramling

Fear was stronger than the calculation of probabilities.

George Eliot

I loved raising my kids. I loved the process, the dirt of it, the tears of it, the frustration of it, Christmas, Easter, birthdays, growth charts, pediatrician appointments. I loved all of it.

Jane Elliot

The best business plans are straightforward documents that spell out the who, what, where, why, and how much...

Paula Nelson

Duty is heavy as a mountain but Death is lighter than a feather.

Japanese Proverb

United we stand, divided we fall.

George Pope Morris

Analysis brings no curative powers in its train; it merely makes us conscious of the existence of an evil, which, oddly enough, is consciousness.

Henry Miller

The majority believes that everything hard to comprehend must be very profound. This is incorrect. What is hard to understand is what is immature, unclear and often false. The highest wisdom is simple and passes through the brain directly to the heart. -- Viktor Schauberger.

Remember: the universe neither judges, nor interprets, nor second guesses your will. If it did, there would be no poverty, no hunger, no suffering.

Stephen Richards

It is not enough for theory to describe and analyze, it must itself be an event in the universe it describes. In order to do this theory must partake of and become the acceleration of this logic. It must tear itself from all referents and take pride only in the future. Theory must operate on time at the cost of a deliberate distortion of present reality.

Jean Baudrillard

A farce or comedy is best played; a tragedy is best read at home.

Abraham Lincoln
