Eskimo Proverb says “Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shine down upon us to let us know they are happy” I like that. What a beautiful thought! When you lose a loved one, it can be hard to get used to them being gone. We had a dear friend who passed away over a year ago. I still want to call him to share something funny that happened. I still have his number in my phone. I hovered over it the other day... thinking about deleting it... but I left it there. I know I'm never going to call him again, and even if I did. I know he's not going to answer, but I like the thought of seeing his name when I scroll past. It brightens my day a little and makes me think of him.

Billie Jean King said "I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing toward being a champion." I love that. Self-awareness if a pretty good thing. I work in two industries with many people with big personalities. As a comedian and as a radio announcer, I know many people who have a struggle with being self-aware. I probably blur that line from time to time. Sometimes I think we believe our opinion means a little more that it really does, because our voice is amplified, whether on a stage in a spotlight, or on a radio show that is transmitted all over. It's easy to believe what the promo department says, rather than remembering you're just some guy with a microphone. That's it, nothing else.

David McCullough said "I think the public library system is one of the most amazing American institutions. Free for everybody. If you ever get the blues about the status of American culture, there are still more public libraries than there are McDonald's. During the worst of the Depression, not one public library closed their doors." I love this. I'm sad to admit this, but it's been over a decade since I've been to the library. My wife has a library card now. She stops by a few times a month to swap out books. I probably should go along one of these days. I remember reading two or three books a month... before I got a smart phone! Now the time I used to spend reading something that expanded my mind, is used to scroll.

Rick Warren said “Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don’t have to compromise convictions to be compassionate” I love this quote. I have friends who agree with me on some things, but we disagree on other things. I think that is a HEALTHY relationship! If you have to agree to be friends, are you really even friends? You should be able to agree on some things and disagree on other things and still be friends no matter what. If someone has you believing otherwise, you may want to check that relationship!

Frida Kahlo said "They will call you “crazy because you are, because you were born with the gift of seeing things differently and that scares them. They're going to call you “intense” because you are, because you were born with the value well placed to allow yourself to feel it all fully and that intimidates them. They're going to call you “selfish” because that's right, because you found out that you're the most important thing in your life and that doesn't suit them. You're going to be called in many ways, with many judgments, for a long time, but stay firm on yourself and what you want, and I promise you one day they're going to call you to say, thank you for existing.” What a great quote... I love the whole thing!
