 When you are afraid to do something, say "what the heck" and do it anyway. Let the success be in taking the risk rather than attachment to the outcome. If you fall down, pick yourself back up and move on. The more risks you take, the more courage you build, and the more confident you become. Understand that your confidence will be stronger at different times and in different areas of your life than others. Accept this as part of the journey. When you are confident, you know you will handle whatever comes up in the best way you can and move on. Regardless of what happens, you will still be whole and complete unto yourself.    …Stacey Mayo

6:41am sunrise-NOT over a surfer at Surfriders Beach in Malibu.

6:40am sunrise at the Malibu Pier

All is right in the world.  Car-schmar.  Spirit has my back and I get where I need to go however I get there.  Feeling suddenly aglow in the flow.  Back in Paradise.

Today a new sun rises for me, everything lives, everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me of passion, everything invites me to cherish it.  …Anonymous
