L.O.V.E.

"Our soul mate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of
direction. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person."

People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants.

But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything

that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so

you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important

person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake.

-Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat Pray Love

"Just one thing,” she says, raising her head and looking me straight in the eye. “I want you to remember me. If you remember me, then I don’t care if everyone else forgets."

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.
-- Audrey Hepburn

“Alas, poor Romeo, we can't do diddly.
You'll go to penitentiary,
I'll be the laughing stock
of the Brownies.
But if your feelings for me are true,
you'll wait.”

V-J Day in Times Square

On Sunday, June 20, the nurse in this infamous picture, Edith Shain died at 91. She has been remembered all throughout her life as being part of one of America's most iconic photos taken on V-J Day in Times Square; as the nurse kissed by the patriotic sailor. The photographer, Alfred Eisenstadt who has captured some of the greats like Marilyn Monroe, or the infamous "Migrant Mother" featured in Life magazine, said he was drawn to her and the sailor through the complimenting contrasting colors and the sweet and passionate nature of the two that summed of the true essence of patriotism that day. Lovely.

Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be."
-- Patanjali

If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy,

the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.- C.S. Lewis

"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the
world needs is people who have come alive." - Howard Thurman
