 -- Quote of the Day -- " A person who wears armor Is his armor's slave . " ~ Anonymous   -- What's the secret to a long lasting relationship? -- Dave and I have been together for just over 20 years and are still going strong, despite many life obstacles from physical injuries to work-related or financially-related stress and traumatic grief.  Many people are impressed by the number of years we've been together, but more are impressed by the fact that Dave and I also work together. All this time we've shared one office, one vehicle and up until this last year - we shared one computer. Being writers and working different schedules, this often felt like we were performing a juggling act.  There are several secrets that I learned from my mother's mishaps in relationships. She used to remind us to " Start how you mean to continue ." - this was meant to include most areas of our lives from money and balancing chores to relationships. ...

-- Quote of the Day -- “ Getting rid of clutter really isn’t about trying to achieve some sort of magazine-cover perfection, but about freeing up time for priorities. …It is functional living – not perfect living. …Getting rid of clutter is a process… and it can sometimes be hard for people to cut down their clutter… we get emotionally attached to our stuff. …Creating a sustainable community is win-win for everybody involved; when we reduce our excess, we help other people. As well, less needs to be produced and there is less waste. We gain by having greater peace of mind and getting rid of clutter opens our lives up to new hobbies, new relationships .”   ~  Barbara Tako ~ Today's quote came from the Living Clutter-free interview on the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio Show that aired back on Aug 31 this year - You can access the full interview via the hyper-linked show title above.    -- Chatter -- Today finds me inundated with a heavy list of to...

-- Quote of the Day -- RE:  Saving Race Horses   “We give them a transition between that athletic lifestyle and learn how to be a horse again – preparing them for the next phase. … I found it very surprising that there was a need for something like what we provide. And once I realized that I think I was just humbled that I could make a difference… For me, these horses are just so inspiring – I feel like they have brought out the best in me. I feel that they give me so much more than I can give them.” ~  Lynn Reardon ~ Aug 24 2010  Today's quote originates from the Saving Racehorses interview that aired back on Aug 24th this year on the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio show.
