Make it or Break it

We all have opportunities and we can challenge ourselves to travel, to learn, to get degrees, to be really helpful, to be satisfied with what we have, to want more that we are, to read more, to relax more, to take life in and to give life out. Any sense of making it or breaking it in life is deeply personal. God participates but as a breath of light air passing by us in a moment. The hint is so hard to catch. Be still.

  2. It's a tough thing waiting for a shoe to drop. You can sense it but you don't know when or where. Fret, worry or not, it is probably going to happen. I remmeber a great quote from Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. "Life is to be lived not controlled and humanity is won by playing in the face of certain defeat". Don't lose your great personality nor your sense of adventure. Florence, Italy, is just around the corner.
