Is this mic on? Crunch, crunch, crunch

I'm still in my own little world making things happen.  BTW my friend Jon did not win the academy award for his documentary short this year.  Maybe next year :-)

In the interim, a few quotes from Help Others.org and The Daily Good publications for your reading pleasure.
#7 and #9 are particular favorites of mine this week.

1. The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is. --C. S. Lewis 
2. I have a personal philosophy in life: kindness begets kindness. --Drew Johnson 
3. "So many gods, so many creeds, so many paths that wind and wind, while just the art of being kind, is all the sad world needs." -- Ella Cox Wheeler
4. To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. --Joseph Chilton Pierce 
5. I don't see the human as hopeless. There's a general tendency to presume people just act for short-term profit. But anyone who knows about small-town businesses and how people in a community relate to one another realizes that many of those decisions are not just for profit and that humans do try to organize and solve problems. --Elinor Ostrom 
6. Oneness is very simple: everything is included and allowed to live according to its true nature. --Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee 
7. You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf. --Jon Kabat-Zinn 
8. If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. --Dalai Lama 
9. I resolved to stop accumulating and begin the infinitely more serious and difficult task of wise distribution. --Andrew Carnegie 
10. If a woman can only succeed by emulating men, I think it is a great loss and not a success. The aim is not only for a woman to succeed, but to keep her womanhood and let her womanhood influence society. --Suzanne Brogger 

And I have a new snack to add to my favorites list.  I just picked it up from my local health food market.   These are great with [on the side of] or crumbled on top of a salad.  Introducing wheat free, gluten free, whole grain curry Sticks and Twigs by Mary's Gone Crackers [No monetary relationship, I'm a new fan.]
