Sleep deprivation is hurting kids in more ways than you think.
Life is a play that does not allow trials...-Charles Chaplin
For this reason you must sing, laugh, dance, cry and live intensely each moment of your life. before the curtain closes and the play ends without applause.
Smile! but don't you hide behind that smile...It shows what you are, without fear...
There are people who dream of your smile, as well as I.
You go and live! Try! Life happens in an attempt to live.
Love above all, to everything and everyone love.
Do not close your eyes to the dirt of the world, do not ignore the hunger.
Forget the bomb, but soon do something to combat it, and don't feel incapable.
Search! Looking for what's good in everything and everyone.
Life and people,...make them your reason for living.
Understand people who think different to you, do not criticize them...
Look at your back, friends...Did you make someone happy already today? or did someone suffer from your selfishness?
Do not run... Why such a hurry?
Running is only fear within you.
Dream!
But do not prejudice anyone, and do not transform your dream on to them.
Create! Hold on! There will always be a way out, always shine a star.
Crying! Fight! Do what you like...you must feel what is inside you.
Listen to what others have to say, it is important.
Look up... and climb the steps for what you want to achieve.But don't forget those who failed to climb the ladder of life.
Discover! Find out what is good within you...
Try above all as people, I'm also going to try.
Hey you,..now go in peace.
I must tell you all of that, simply because you exist... - K.A.
The noblest art is that of making others happy. - P.T. Barnum

I loved you then, he said, meaning never again. —Lynne Knight

"While Plum Blossoms Sweep Down Like Snow" by Lynne Knight

What you found was not what you sought.
What you loved was not what you thought.
White plum blossoms sweep down like snow
when it rains; the seasons don’t know
the names we use. I loved you then,
he said, meaning never again.
Plead with him all you want: he’s through.
Your turn to decide what to do.

Your turn to decide. What to do—
plead with him all you want; he’s through,
he said. Meaning, never again.
The names we used! I loved you then
when it rained. The seasons don’t know
white plum blossoms sweep down like snow.
What you loved was not what you thought.
What you found was not what you sought.
Only those who care about you can hear you when you're quiet. - unknown

“Just beyond yourself. It's where you need to be.” ~David Whyte

Just Beyond Yourself BY DAVID WHYTE How do you know that you're on the right path? "Look at that far horizon and deep in the foundations of your own heart," - David Whyte, poet

Just beyond
yourself.

It’s where
you need
to be.

Half a step
into
self-forgetting
and the rest
restored
by what
you’ll meet.

There is a road
always beckoning.

When you see
the two sides
of it
closing together
at that far horizon
and deep in
the foundations
of your own
heart
at exactly
the same
time,
that’s how
you know
it’s the road
you
have
to follow.

That’s how
you know
it’s where
you
have
to go.

That’s how
you know
you have
to go.

That’s
how you know.

Just beyond
yourself,
it’s
where you
need to be.

My yes, from here on out, is my pledge to live honestly, my commitment to love myself, and my cry to create my best life possible. YES - Scott Stabile

Anything that annoys you is for teaching you patience. Anyone who abandons you is for teaching you how to stand up on your own two feet. Anything that angers you is for teaching you forgiveness and compassion. Anything that has power over you is for teaching you how to take your power back. Anything you hate is for teaching you unconditional love. Anything you fear is for teaching you courage to overcome your fear. Anything you can't controls is for teaching you how to let go and trust the Universe. - Jackson kiddard

As you are shifting, you will begin to realize that you are not the same person you used to be. The things you used to tolerate have now become intolerable. Where you once remained quiet, you are now speaking your truth. Where you once battled and argued, you are now choosing to remain silent. You are beginning to understand the value of your voice and there are some situations that no longer deserve your time, energy and focus. - PT

There are stars you haven't seen and loves you haven't loved. There's light you haven't felted and sunrises yet to dawn.

This is the part of my life where I silently remove myself from anyone who hurts me more than they love me, drains me more than they replenish me, brings me more peace than they do peace, and tries to stunt my growth rather than clap for it. I think that I've done more than enough talking and trying to make things work with certain people.. I'm done. - Cici B.

Ten Reasons Middle Schoolers Don't Need Social Media "I hear parents say that they want to teach their child to use social media appropriately, but their midbrains are not developed yet.

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. "It’s okay to look in the mirror and wonder what happened to the woman you knew. It’s okay to miss her and to want her back. You are never too far gone, you are never past re-discovering. You are still in there beneath the sacrifice and the routine and the week old yoga pants…you are still YOU. I promise." I want my old self back. I get to remember who I am again when Gabo sees his dad. I get to remember and live love. Thank you, my love.

I Need Time Alone So I Don’t Become An Angry Mom I was shamed by former partner and his mother when I needed time alone, as simple as a hair cut and lunch. Don't give power to those bullies. They are not worth your time. “I was mad at myself for getting so irritated about something so insignificant. And then it hit me -- it had been almost ten days since I spent any time alone other than a quick shower.” - Scary Mommy
It’s Going to Be Okay, and It’s Not Going to Be Okay “This is why I write about grief: To inject a bit of madness in a world that so desperately wants me to “move on.” To create space for those of us who fear we will go mad with loss. To tell them it’s okay, and to tell them it’s not.” ~Elena Zhang

Why Aren’t Trauma Survivors Warned That Parenthood May Be a PTSD Trigger? “Becoming a mother added a whole new, difficult layer to my recovery. I became triggered by things I did with, around, and for my children. I was triggered by certain people around my children. I was triggered by their sheer existence, in that I now could see how innocent of a child I was at the time my abuse began.” The Mighty, I didn't really had a bad childhood.. so the abuse is far from description, but I definitely had many triggers from the unloving people in my life, especially, from my former partner.. so have to courage to face the pain and get out.

There comes a time
A time in everyone's life
Where nothing seems to go your way
Where nothing seems to turn out right
There may come a time
You just can't seem to find your place
And for every door you open
Seems like you get two slammed in your face
That's when you need someone
Someone that you, you can call
When all your faith is gone
And it feels like you can't go on
Let it be me
Let it be me
If it's a friend that you need
Let it be me
Let it be me
Feels like you're always coming up last
Pockets full of nothing and you got no cash
No matter where you turn you ain't got no place to stand
You reach out for something and they slap your hand
Now, I remember all too well
Just how it feels to be all alone
You feel like you'd give anything
For just a little place you can call your own
That's when you need someone
Someone that you, you can call
When all your faith is gone
It feels like you cant go on
Let it be me
Let it be me
If it's a friend you need
Let it be me
Let it be me
Let it be me
Let it be me
If it's a friend you need
Let it be me
Let it be me, let it be me
Today is Yom Ha'atzmaut--Israel's Independence Day--70 years is a lot to be thankful for. The song sung below, Al Kol Eileh is an Israeli staple. It is a perfect Israeli song in that it celebrates both the honey and the sting, that Israeli life is complicated that is sweetness and there is difficulty, but as Jews we celebrate the opportunity both to wrestle with what is difficult and hopefully continue to do better, but also celebrate what is so sweet about 70 years of a Jewish state. - Congregation Kol Ami

The demise of the nation state “It will be objected, inevitably, that any alternative to the nation-state system is a utopian impossibility. But even the technological accomplishments of the last few decades seemed implausible before they arrived, and there are good reasons to be suspicious of those incumbent authorities who tell us that human beings are incapable of similar grandeur in the political realm. In fact, there have been many moments in history when politics was suddenly expanded to a new, previously inconceivable scale – including the creation of the nation state itself. And – as is becoming clearer every day – the real delusion is the belief that things can carry on as they are.”
