Listen to me, Cammie. There are things in this life…in this world…There are things that you don’t want to remember. ” - Rachel Morgan
First with the head, then with the heart.
The power of one is above all things the power to believe in yourself, ofen well beyond any latent ability you may have previously demonstrated. The mind is the athlete, the body is simply the means it uses to run faster or longer, jump higher, shoot straighter, kick better, swim harder, hit further, or box better.
Sometimes the slightest things change the directions of our lives, the merest breath of a circumstance, a random moment that connects like a meteorite striking the earth. Lives have swiveled and changed direction on the strength of a chance remark.
One thing is certain in life. Just when things are going well, soon afterward they are certain to go wrong. It's just the way things are meant to be.
Love is energy: it can neither be created nor destroyed. It just is and always will be, giving meaning to life and direction to goodness. . . Love will never die.
I was born illegitimately and almost immediately, as I understand it, placed in an orphanage. So my very earliest memories were in an orphanage. It was the tag end of the Great Depression when I was born. People were desperately poor.
Generally speaking, the poorer person summers where he winters.
Homework, root canals, and deadlines are the important things in life, and only when we have these major dramas taken care of can we presume to look at the larger questions.
I used to write when I was in the mood or felt inspired. Anymore, I write whether I feel inspired or not. It's a discipline. So that's definitely different. It's part of maturing as a person and as a professional.
From now on, I'm not doing anything I don't want to do! The world owes me happiness, fulfillment and success. . . . I'm just here to cash in.
