STOLEN BLOG CONTENT!

Admittedly, I have stolen the following quote from this fabulous blog. I am a blog thief...so, arrest me. I think it is so beautiful, though...and worthy of repetition. Someone asked me one time what the MOST important thing to me was....I responded, freedom. It is and always will be. The freedom to choose, the freedom to express myself as I see fit, the freedom to live the life of MY choosing, the freedom to love, the freedom to SIMPLY be.

To be free is to choose.

CHOICE
The word that allows yes, the word that makes no possible.
The word that puts the free in freedom and takes the obligation out of love.
The word that throws a window open after the final door is closed.
The word upon which all adventure, all exhilaration, all meaning, all honor depends.
The word that fires evolution's motor of mud.
The word that the cocoon whispers to the caterpillar.
The word that molecules recite before bonding.
The word that separates that which is dead from that which is living.
The word no mirror can turn around.
In the beginning was the word and that word was CHOICE.
- Tom Robbins

Here's another nugget of wisdom:
"Fearlessness may be a gift but perhaps more precious is courage acquired through endeavor, courage that comes from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate ones actions."
-Aung San Suu Kyi

Enjoy!
