This was printed on a sign at a local restaurant and I loved it. The sign said “If each of us spent $100 a year more at local businesses instead of chain stores, it would put an extra THREE MILLION a year into our local economy. Not only that, but it would also create thousands more local jobs every year.” I love that. I'm a big fan of small businesses! I go our of my way to support local businesses in my community. I was unloading some things when a friend told me “you can get that cheaper online” I responded that I like to buy from the family that owns that business. I like them and it's more than just a transaction to me... and to them!

Marcus Aurelius said “Don't worry about siding for or against the majority. Worry about taking up any of their irrational beliefs.” I love this. Many times we get surrounded by MOVEMENTS on social media. Sometimes these movements require people to change their photo to have the correct branding to show that you're part of the pack. I've never really done that. Not that I don't believe in things, because I DO believe in many things... but I want to be know for more than one singular issue... and please keep in mind, just because I don't post my decree for whatever issue... doesn't mean that I don't agree with you... it means I don't show it that way!

Alan Watts said “There is a price to be paid for every increase in consciousness. We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain” Very true. If you enjoy more good times... be ready for some bad times too! The higher the peak... the deeper the potential valley is to follow. Hang on for the ride and do what you can to enjoy the good times... and remember them during the bad times. Just like the weather. The bad days can make us appreciate the good days so much more. Imagine how much we would take it for granted if EVERY DAY was the perfect weather! Enjoy the variety!

Johnny Cash said “Success is having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money” I love that. I got a few different Johnny Cash quotes this week... from two different people... thanks to both of you! I know many people who have become quite successful I think this quote would hold true for most of them. Usually, when you're super successful... and you're doing well financially... you're typically in high demand. Your time is precious. Everyone wants their time with you. You're never really able to just step back and breathe... but that's also important. You can easily get burned out if you don't take a little time here and there!

Johnny Cash said “Trust gets you killed, love gets you hurt and being real gets you hated” I love that. I got a few different Johnny Cash quotes this week... from two different people... thanks to both of you! This one makes you think. Why is that? Why do people hate those who tell the truth and are just being real? Sometimes I think it may be in the WAY they tell the truth. I've been put in a position where I needed to be a little kinder in the way I told someone the harsh reality. It's not a fun place to be. You don't usually make friends there, but in the end, be honest and real and if that doesn't work for them. That's on them!
