“We will discover the nature of our own particular genius when we stop trying to conform to our own or to other peoples’ models, learn to be ourselves, and allow our natural channel to open.” ~ Shakti Gawain

I have a friend who just won a songwriting award--$1000 plus a host of other benefits. Especially exciting considering she only started writing a few years ago.

“Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists of the elimination of non-essentials.” ~ Lin Yutang

The other day I was chatting with a friend, Cathy (name changed), who leads a busy life. Cathy is a mother of two, a writer, a volunteer, and is adjusting to life in a new city. She deals with her stresses as they come, and feels like she is coping pretty well.

“Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.”
~Lao Tzu, Tao te Ching

Sometimes life is difficult. And when it is, no matter what you do it seems like problems lurk around every corner.

I have a friend whose community has been flooded three times this year. They used to get floods every dozen years or so, then it happened in 2005, 2010 and now this year–3 times. She is losing patience, and money.
