We all have crosses to bear. The question is, how do we choose to carry our cross.

Labels. Logos. Brands.
When we're born we are not consciously sure of what we will become in life. What we will eventually stand for or what conduct our perceptions will dictate. One thing to note though, for whatever it is ... we ultimately end up formulating our own brand in the ways we treat others. We also design our logos through the expressions we mainly display on our faces. Labels ... we really have no control over what labels we appear to have. Labels come from how others experience us.

Extra Baggage
We often carry excess baggage with us without even realizing the reasons why we do. For some, despite the heavy weight and burden, find it offers them a certain level of security albeit false. The challenge comes from realizing that we can do much better without this false sense of security. Without this excess baggage not only will we feel lighter but we'll be more free to fly.

When the obvious isn't so obvious
Sometimes things are so clearly marked but if you never take the time to notice, it could be the difference between that special moment of 'knowing' or a lifetime of 'what ifs'?
I Got Your Back
Something to note about about me: If you're my friend and even when you're not, I will always have your back. The world is full of too many people that never take the time to put themselves in other's shoes. Perhaps if we all did that more than we do not there would be less hate.

The Journey
It has always been about the journey for me. Although, a beach destination wouldn't be a bad idea right about now.

Why Red ...
I suddenly looked up and realized that the colour red seemed to be the dominant colour of the moment. I'm not a fan of the red and it has nothing to do with the fact I was a nurse for 11 years and saw my mix of GI bleeds. That's when red still has a chance. Or the red you see at the birth of a child. That's the red of hope and life. Far different from the red you see at war. That's a heart aching red. A graphic reminder that we're still a long way off from being civilized.

Two Feet Grounded One Heart in the Clouds
I often have to look down just to make sure I am really standing where I think I am standing ... in another land whose language is so unfamiliar to my cells. The language that is native to me has words that not only help to transcend emotion but also resonate ideas. I often feel disconnected. If it were not for the kind smiles and soulful eyes I would feel like a stranger. In any case, my heart stays amongst the clouds if only to look down to remember that "love" surrounds me no matter where my feet happen to stand.
I Wanna Play Too!
It doesn't matter how advanced our games become, the rules never really change. When you hang with the big boys expect to often stay at the sidelines. The positive thing is that you get to observe and observation is a powerful tool when you know how to really use it.
Represent'n
He isn't just any man sitting on a bench waiting for the train to take him to work ... he's just a human like you and me. Our only differences are the way we perceive ourselves - to be different from everybody else.

A Day in the Life of an Ausländer
Trying to make it in another country involves lots of little steps. You need to have a ton of patience and always be looking at the bright side of things. Expect to also spend a lot of time in lines and waiting areas. Oh well, it's time well spent doing Kegel's. ;-)
