harmonious balance

The only thing I love more than being affected, is affecting others.
It comes down to sharing our stories, our gifts, our blessings and our challenges.
Listening to others, learning and growing.
Doing your best and then simply letting go.

peace & God bless

“MY CREED”

I DO NOT CHOOSE TO BE COMMON.

IT IS MY RIGHT TO BE UNCOMMON.

IF I CAN I SEEK OPPORTUNITY, NOT SECURITY. 

I WANT TO TAKE THE CALCULATED RISK, TO DREAM AND TO BUILD, TO FAIL AND TO SUCCEED.  I REFUSE TO BARTER INCENTIVE FOR A DOLE. 

I PREFER THE CHALLENGES OF LIFE TO THE GUARANTEED EXISTENCE, THE THRILL OF FULFILLMENT TO THE STALE CALM OF UTOPIA.

I WILL NOT TRADE FREEDOM FOR BENEFICENCE NOR MY DIGNITY FOR A HANDOUT. 

I WILL NEVER COWER BEFORE ANY MASTER NOR BEND TO ANY THREAT. 

IT IS MY HERITAGE TO STAND ERECT, PROUD AND UNAFRAID, TO THINK AND ACT FOR MYSELF, ENJOY THE BENEFIT OF MY CREATIONS AND TO FACE THE WORLD BOLDLY AND SAY, THIS I HAVE DONE.
