**Why can't "run like a girl" mean "win the race?"**

When you don't take it negatively... it can!

Girls: Be girls!  Don't be ashamed!  Run, walk, hit, yell, fight, love, and win like a girl.

Boys:  Try to do the same...and you'll be better for it.  

Remember that being who you are should never be an insult.

Mayday Mayday...how do you change a broken system?

Another interesting roots movement...how do you fix a broken system?  

By using the broken system.

I think we can all agree that when the people we elect are not even willing to make votes (which is all that their jobs actually ENTAIL), they are stealing from the people, and no matter WHICH way they'd vote...they need to start doing it or they need to get out.  I also think JGL and the guy he's supporting are completely right, and I don't know that there are many people who would deny it...our broken system required votes of all of us to enter their positions, but then cater to anyone who will give them money to campaign and to continue in those positions...and THAT is ALSO not their purpose.  So...you decide.  Leave it broken?  Or get in the game, and make a play to change it.

On negativity...

Positive thoughts and words lead to positive actions.  

The same is true for negative thoughts and attitudes.  

Keep the vibe positive!

The universe will thank you :)

A wish for today and all days...

"May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all."

When I wake up in the morning...

I am blessed.

Sometimes it's hard to remember when we just want to hit the alarm clock for work...but at least there's a job to go to.  It's difficult to miss our loved ones while we fulfill our other responsibilities...but at least we have loved ones.  The reality is...if you woke up today, you are blessed more than many people.  If you woke up this morning, you have another day to live and to decide how to spend it.  Choose wisely.  You're blessed with a new day.  Start acting like it.

World Cup 2014 Has Arrived!

...and so it begins!

World Cup 2014!!

Who are you cheering for?

Be the Squirrel!

Life lesson from a friend who encountered a determined little creature:

"A squirrel just fell about 30 feet from a tree and landed on the pavement next to me with a thud. Apparently not phased (or dead) he sprung up and climbed right back up that tree. After a draining week, I am considering this a non-coincidental life lesson on determination. Be the squirrel people, be the squirrel!"
