FIVE DOCUMENTARIES ABOUT REMARKABLE LIVES ARE THIS SUMMER’S SURPRISE HITS

It is my job to protect you, Gabo. I am doing my job right.

If you have children, it is your job to protect them from your narcissistic parent. Grandchildren are new suppliers. Children to a narcissist are like raw meat to a tiger. They know children are very impressionable, defenseless and have no boundaries. The narcissist feels entitled to say whatever they believe to be true to them. Children won't disagree with them as adults do. - Tina Fuller

She's been through hell and came out, an angel. You didn't break her, darling. You don't own that kind of power. -BBM poetry

One morning she woke up different. Done with trying to figure out who was with her, against her, or walking down the middle because they didn't have the guts to pick a side. She was done with anything that didn't bring her peace. She realized that opinions were a dime a dozen, validation was for parking, and loyalty wasn't a word but a lifestyle. It was this day that her life change. And not because of a man or a job but because she realized that life is way too short to leave the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket. - unknown

5 things to quit right now:
1. Trying to please everyone.
2. Fearing change.
3. Living in the past.
4. Putting yourself down.
5. Overthinking.
- Unknown

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough, and we'll be more content when they are.

After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our partner gets his or her act together when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice holiday, when we retire.

The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?

Your life will always be filled with challenges.

It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.

A quote comes from Alfred D. Souza. He said,

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.

So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time...and remember that time waits for no one.

So, stop waiting until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until winter, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink.... there is no better time than right now to be happy.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Work like you don't need money,

Love like you've never been hurt,

And dance like no one's watching. -Jessica LaRose

If you are going to call us immoral, ignore our basic human dignity, propose sending us (but not our partners) to jail, or enact bans that, make no mistake, will kill women — well, these are not anonymous characters you’re dealing with, represented by a few brave spokespeople on TV. You’re dealing with real women. You’re dealing with me. You’re dealing with us."

Sugar daddy- SUN

10 Things I Love About my Sugar Daddy (I’m totally talking about the SUN. As if!)

10. The sun transmits the intelligence of the cosmos directly into our field and bloodstream from the the great galactic energy center of our central sun (Plato referred to the central galactic sun as the “supra-celestial” sun). Our sun acts like a step-down transformer for this celestial-sun, bringing the most powerful waves of cosmic intelligence right into us. When we expose our skin, eyes and energy centers to it, we receive a download of galactic proportions!

9. The sun’s healing power is so magnetic and ever ready to purify us that it pulls toxins to the surface (but then, winds up designated a cause of cancer rather than what it truly is: a magnet for cancer and a lens into the state of the internal terrain of the body). It’s not easy being a super-toxin-magnet.

8. The sun is steadfast. As we hurdle through space at lightening speeds, the sun holds center for our solar system, just as the great central sun holds center for our galaxy. It is so “grounded” in space that it holds the whole hurtling cosmic complex together. I like a man with a steady hand in the midst of rapid propulsion. Ladies?

7. The sun may actually have the original Midas touch! That’s right, legend has it that the gold in the earth is made of eons worth of concentrated sunlight! Now, I know that concept is not widely circulated or accepted but from what I know about the qualities of gold and sunlight, I find this quite an easy leap to make. You can decide for yourself.

6. The sun cures! Helio-therapy is one of the most ancient treatments in history. Solar rays have been proven to cure otherwise incurable diseases from tuberculosis to lupus. When used in conjunction with deep tissue cleansing, sunlight is instrumental in healing skin diseases like eczema, psoriasis and acne. In ancient Egypt, gold (remember that gold may be likened to concentrated sunlight thus I believe this applies) was ingested for purification of the body as well as purification of the mind and sprit. It was understood that the gold essence stimulated the life-force and raised the vibration of the individual. It was also believed that wearing gold could heal all manner of illnesses. Colloidal gold (or “activated gold”) is still used in natural medicine today, particularly for the heart, circulation, treating arthritis and alcoholism.

5. The sun is the source of life. I could stop here. No sun, no fun.

4. The sun is the great beautifier (despite it’s reputation for making you look like a dried out prune). It’s not quite so black and white as that: when you are significantly tissue-cleansed, you can receive large amounts of sun daily and not burn – you simply receive the warm, intelligent penetration and turn a beautiful caramel-gold color all the while. In this cleansed condition, the sun will also tighten your skin (you read that right), rather than break it down. Post-cleansed individuals have an exceedingly positive experience with the sun (cosmetically, energetically and mentally), in sharp contrast to pre-cleansed individuals who generally consider the sun the enemy because so much heat and light makes them physically uncomfortable and mentally weary. Bear in mind that the sun is not the enemy; it’s the individual’s state of being that clashes with the desire of the sun to penetrate and heal. It’s not altogether different to what occurs when someone with a good deal of intestinal impaction drinks a medicinal green juice (naturally they should start on cucumbers and romaine, not parsley and kale). In fact, that’s a solid analogy. I used to burn to a crisp with my Irish-Russian heritage, but for the last 15 years I’ve sun-bathed with absolute abandon and never burned. I never use SPF (almost all of it is highly carcinogenic and made even more so when it chemically reacts with the sun – although there are natural options that are good to use in transition and when one is in the sun for prolonged periods). I’ll simply don a hat if needed and generous amounts of coconut oil (if anything). I prefer nothing get between me and my Sugar Daddy ;)

3. The sun is an excellent example of what it means to love everyone equally and unconditionally. The sun doesn’t withhold its light, wisdom and warmth from some while it lavishes others. No ways -- it gives of its life-generating bounty to all!

2. The sun makes the highest quality food! Sun foods are foods that are akin to eating sunlight – foods that contain the sun’s energy that’s simply been synthesized into material form. Chlorophyll is pure synthesized sunlight and therefore the closest thing we have to eating the source of life on this planet.

1. The sun teaches me everything about what it means to be a life-generator. It reminds me of the glow we all have within -- that beautiful power in the center of our being that can sustain our whole individual proverbial “micro solar-system.” It reminds me that in steadfastness and consistency of goodness miracles of life naturally manifest. It reminds me to give my light and warmth to all and, finally, that radiant energy needs to do nothing more than to be itself – it’s okay to be a “one trick pony” if you’ve got a really great trick!

So, if the definition of a Sugar Daddy is “a much older man that lavishes gifts and support on a much younger woman,” the shoe fit and damn do we have a good thing going'!

To raise a child who is comfortable enough to leave you. Means you've done your job. They are not ours to keep but to teach them how to soar on their own. - unknown

The goal in parenting is not to have 'perfect' kids who never cry, never struggle, never question and never make mistakes. That's unrealistic. Our children are as human as you and me. Humans who are still developing and learning. The goal in parenting is to help our children become compassionate, loving, functioning, problem-solving adults. - Sujal Johnson

Every day in a hundred small ways our children ask "do you see me?"; "do you hear me?"; "do I matter?". Their behavior often reflects our response. - L.R. Knost

It's not the things you wear,
It's not the way you do your hair

The way you are right now,

Not the things that hide you,
Not your toys
They're just beside you.

But it's you I like
Every part of you.
Your skin, your eyes, your feelings
Whether old or new.
I hope that you'll remember
Even when you're feeling blue
That it's you I like,
It's you yourself
It's you.
It's you I like.

Our 1st swim park together.. then our family grew, it was our 1at mother day's and it was where I was engaged. This place had brought me so much joy.. and I can't really have enough words to say about the overwhelming love.

Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people. - Fred Rogers

“When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.” ― Fred Rogers

“Part of the problem with the word 'disabilities' is that it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear or walk or do other things that many of us take for granted. But what of people who can't feel? Or talk about their feelings? Or manage their feelings in constructive ways? What of people who aren't able to form close and strong relationships? And people who cannot find fulfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities.” ― Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember

“Love isn't a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.” ― Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember

“The greatest gift you ever give is your honest self.” ― Fred Rogers

“Forgiveness is a strange thing. It can sometimes be easier to forgive our enemies than our friends. It can be hardest of all to forgive people we love. Like all of life's important coping skills, the ability to forgive and the capacity to let go of resentments most likely take root very early in our lives.” ― Fred Rogers

“There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind.” ― Fred Rogers

“Discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime’s work, but it’s worth the effort.” ― Fred Rogers

I've heard that no matter what you're going through, someone has it worse. I don't like that statement. I've never liked it. It's emotionally dismissive, and it teaches us our personal struggles are insignificant.
So we hide, and we refuse to cry out, and we try not to burden others with our pain.
Someone might have it worse, true. But we are all broken, and we are all human, and we are never alone. - unknown

2018 Saniro character ranking

Grief, I've learned, is really just love. Its' all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go. - Jamie Anderson

每個人都知道，選愛自己的人，會比較幸福。 但每每放不下的，卻是那個自己所愛的人 。- Christine S.

Any guys can spoil you with materialist things, but the right man can do way more than just that...he can spoil you with understanding, listening, honestly, loyalty, affection, communication , and he can spoil you with happiness.

You will continue to suffer if you have emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing things with logic. True power is restraint. If words control you, that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass. -unknown

Ken Lu has some great quotes

真正的愛，並不是你忍受你所不愛的事情就可以維持，而是，你能真正的喜歡自己，做你自己喜歡的事，得到自我的認同和自信。
用委屈自己、犧牲自己，甚至傷害自己的方式去「換得」的愛，根本不是真正的愛
就算沒有下一段感情，你一個人，也好過跟一個「錯的人」在一起消耗生命
如果你一直讓對方測試你的「底線」，最後，你就是一個沒有底線的人。沒有底線，更不可能獲得尊重。
不要把愛情當作人生的唯一，人生還有很多重要的事。一段不健康的愛情，不如做一個快樂的自己
沒有一種愛情偉大到，你必須要去傷害自己才能得到 - Ken Lu

有時經歷過了，才能成長 過程雖然很痛苦，但也充滿回憶
加油，我相信甜美的果實，就在前方....- Ken Lu

A lot of walking away will do your life good. Walk away form arguments that lead you to anger and nowhere. Walk away from people who deliberately put you down. Walk away from the practice of pleasing people who choose to never see your worth. Walk away from any thoughts that undermines your peace of mind. Walk away from judgmental people, they do not know the struggle you are facing and what you have been through. Walks way from your mistakes and fears, they do not determine your fate. The more you walk away from that things that poison your soul, the healthier you life will be. - Dodinsky

The Invisible Workload Of Motherhood Is Killing Me"It’s not just making dinner every night—it’s knowing what everyone likes, deciding what to make, having a mental inventory of what’s already in the fridge and cupboards, picking up the groceries, and knowing which night we won’t be home for dinner because of soccer. It’s packing the leftovers into a Tupperware and making a mental note of when it will go bad. It’s noticing that maple syrup has spilled in the back of the fridge and silently cleaning it up, tossing out an old salad dressing and some uneaten pasta as you go."
