cheese and love...

for my beautiful and amazing friends abby...

thoughts on life and love from a littleperson in the book who moved my cheese

what would you do if you weren't afraid...

you have already taken the first step and moved out of your comfort zone...don't be afraid of what the world might put in your path


the quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you find new cheese...

he is the worst kind of old cheese...stinky, smelly and makes you sick...easier said than done - but you must let go of him to find new (and better) cheese

imagining myself enjoying new cheese even before i find it leads me to it...

it is only after you see that you deserve to be loved and adored as you are will you truly begin to see the new cheese you need in your life...

it is safer to search in the maze than remain in a cheeseless situation...

you are better off now that you are out searching for what makes you happy than staying in the situation you were in - that was not healthy for you or your self esteem.

keep your head up beautiful...

and one day...new cheese will come along and you will realize why it never worked with any other cheese...

i love you my beautiful friend

time flies...but not fast enough

one day down...three more to go...

so much to do - but who cares
so much to finish - but i cant even focus
already packed - can i leave tomorrow

i try not to wish days away - as they seem to go by fast enough on their own - but i want nothing more than the next three days to fly by!!

children learn what they live...
(by dorothy law nolte)

if children live with criticism, they learn to condemn
if children live with hostility, they learn to fight
if children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive
if children life with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves
if children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy
if children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy
if children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty

but...

if children live with encouragement, they learn confidence
if children live with tolerance, they learn patience
if children live with praise, they learn appreciation
if children live with acceptance, they learn to love
if children live with approval, they learn to like themselves
if children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal
if children live with sharing, they learn generosity
if children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness
if children live with fairness, they learn justice
if children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect
if children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and those about them
if children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live
