“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”  Leo Buscaglia – Author (1924 – 1998)

We are all here on this earth because we are loved.  We have all received the greatest gift a person can get in this life, and that is life itself.  Treat yourself with the respect and dignity you deserve – Never send yourself to the bargain basement.  You are sacred because everything on this earth is dependent on everyone and everything else.  You are important to the survival of this planet.

One of my favorite old-time actresses, Jo Coudert, since passed on, wrote in a book, Advice from a Failure, “Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never leave nor lose. To the question of your life, you are the only answer. To the problems of your life, you are the only solution.”

I am the Editor of a book filled with the writings of the lives of 23 physically challenged fiber artists: Artful Alchemy: Physically Challenged Fiber Artists Creating, and another called Pumpkin, Pumpkin: Folklore, History, Planting Care, and Good Eating. I am also an advocate for anti-bullying of any age, any race or belief system. I say what I mean and mean what I say, and I have a huge heart for any child or adult with physical challenges of any kind; this includes those with developmental or emotional challenges. These challenges, after all, are not out-of-body challenges.

  2. Yes, she was an old-time actress in some old films – nothing big, but just an amazing woman. Her work has been hailed as some of the best psychological writing for her times, and I think it is too. Thank you so kindly. Peace and many blessings always, Anne
