Walk Away...

“They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” -Andy Warhol -

Well Andy was right… and here is a great opportunity to help change someone else’s life. My lovely sister Courtney and her family are participating in the Walk to Defeat ALS in October. They are walking in honor of their friend, Gary, who was recently diagnosed with ALS.

Don’t know what ALS is? I didn’t know too much about it either. Read more about it here:  http://www.alsa.org/about-als/

Luckily, I have not personally known anyone who has been diagnosed with this disease but it doesn’t make the cause any less important.

Here are the best parts:

1) Your donation goes towards a cause that will make a difference in the lives of those dealing with ALS.

2) You don’t have to do any of the walking to raise the money…Courtney does. Bonus!

3) You’re not waiting until someone you love is affected by this disease to help…you’re impacting lives today.

Full of Question...

It seems that regardless of circumstance we all look back at what we have done, forward to what we will do and ultimately whether any of it is right.

I often find myself truly frustrated when I can't figure out the answers that I'm searching for and I'm being too stubborn to really listen for them.

Luckily, I stumbled into some words of wisdom in a letter from the book Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke:

"Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the question now. Perhaps then, some day far in the future, you will gradually without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."

Leave it to a simple letter to turn a girl Full of Question back to Full of Reason.

Be full of reason.
Choose to reason.
