Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home.

Same but Different
Let’s just say I was inspired by two beautiful 6 and 10-year olds this weekend.
Acceptance is not Submission
“True acceptance will transmute negative feelings of anxiety and resentment.”
Eckhart Tolle
Weakness: Your Choice
“Ultimately, it’s how do I respond to what to happens (that matters) not what actually happens. That is your area of freedom. You can choose to respond consciously and then you are not at mercy to what happens to you.”
Eckhart Tolle
Three Minutes
Nothing calms me faster than putting ink down on paper.
Fishy #3
Just playing around.
She’s Spoiled
If you pour plain dog food into her bowl, she will wait until you put extra treats in it (cheese, chicken, etc.) This is what they mean by “You teach them how to treat you.”

These little fishies live in shallow waters and can actually live up to four or five days on land!
Out on a Lim*
The sequel to the “Crazy Rich Asians” film has been delayed because of a pay dispute. Adele Lim, a female Asian writer, was offered 1/8 the pay as her male (white) co-writer. This is an enormous disparity and even more egregious when you consider what she brings to the table (which he cannot): an Asian perspective to an Asian film.
Here are some of her words on the matter:
“Being evaluated that way can’t help but make you feel that is how they view my contributions,” Lim said. She also feels women and people of color are used as “soy sauce.” In other words, they’re only there to add a cultural flavor to the project.
