My first teacher, my mother set an example to me of how to be a human being.
My whole life, I have strived (at times struggled) to come somewhere close to the bar she set.
I have failed. I have failed others, and myself, so many times along this journey. In that I find the most important lesson my mother ever taught me: forgiveness.
To forgive is to let things go, realize your mistakes and continue trying not to forget the lessons learned.
Love is a lesson.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Aren’t we are all working on something, whether we admit it or not?
What’s to question?
Can you, will you, make the changes you feel you need right now to support your intentions — or your plans — for the future?
Don’t go any further until you can answer honestly.
If the answer isn’t what you expected, remember it can be changed.
Questions change.
Expectations should be changed. Change them to intentions,
Go easier on yourself.
Be good to yourself.
Be honest with yourself.

How much can you comprehend, and how badly do you truly want to understand the wonders of life? This life: the simplicities and complexities.
   All of it.
   There is so much now (more than there used to be), and more each day.
   Can it be measured?
   Do you ever wonder exactly how much wonder you hold, or even wonder whether you will ever figure it out?
   Keep wondering.
   Be in awe of how much more you have to see, believe, and be amazed by. Infinitely.
