It's the best thing ever-I love being a mom. This is my only child. My career was a priority earlier in my life, but now my son is definitely the priority.
I'm excited about it -- and that's what you should be.
The sun is the only safe nuclear reactor, situated as it is some ninety-three million miles away.
Wonder is our erotic affiliation with all of life. If we develop this, enjoy it, and follow its promptings, our wants will be fewer and our needs plainer.

It's a thief of time and includes all the palpable and subtle violations of body, mind, and spirit done in the name of science, government, enterprise, progress, and profit.

A life alert to simple pleasures, with perception cultivated and attuned to beauty, and a large capacity for friendship can serve us well come what may...
Friendships offer good practice in accepting the transience of experience and the persistence of feeling.
We try to get into a service blitz. We have a very giving and caring congregation and lots of times that we reach out to the community.
Being a mom has made me a better person. It's made me more compassionate. It's just awesome. I think I was put here to be a mom.
