Molly Strong said...: Hi Kim. Thank you for your comment and wanting to stay connected. I am not sure what the answer is about following blogs. I like to blog but am such a beginner when it comes to things like this. I did just find and like you on Facebook and we could also stay connected there, if you want. I can be found as Molly Strong, living in Vancouver, WA. I really like your FB page. Thanks again. :-); July 22, 2014 at 8:43 PM

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one, wild and precious life?" ~ Mary Oliver

"Joy comes not through possession or ownership but through a wise and loving heart... Weigh the true advantages of forgiveness and resentment to the heart. Then choose." ~ Jack Kornfield

All beings tremble before violence. All fear death. All love life. See yourself in others. Then whom can you hurt? What harm can you do? ~ The Buddha

The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion. ~ Thomas Paine

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. ~ Carl Jung

Peace is not just the absence of violence but the manifestation of human compassion. ~ The Dalai Lama

Love is patient and kind... love is not jealous, or conceited, or proud, or provoked. Love does not keep a record of wrongs... it is not happy with evil, but is pleased with the truth. Love never gives up... It's faith, hope, and patience never fail. ~ I.COR.13:4-6

We must become the change we seek in the world. ~ Mohandas Gandi

Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. ~ Arundhati Roy
