"Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly."

- Rose Franken, writer

I included this quote in a photo memory book that I put together for The Writer for our first anniversary.  I Stumbled Upon it one day and it immediately thought of him.  One of my absolute favorite things about him is that he can make me laugh.  He's so silly and outrageous sometimes that I just can't help myself!

Yesterday we both had a long lunch break and were just lounging around.  He thought it would be funny to lean over an blow a raspberry on my arm. I freaked out a little, then started laughing.  He naturally thought his next best plan would be to try to blow raspberries ALL OVER ME! I don't think I've laughed that hard or that long EVER!

I love him.

"The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me."

-Ayn Rand

Who Are We, To Be Anything But Fabulous?

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
