“All teachings are mere references. 

The true experience is living your own life. 

Then, even the holiest of words are only words.”

Remembering Annette Hanshaw on Her Birthday!!!

Join Me For Coffee and Birthday Cake!

 Sweetheart Annette Hanshaw
was born 120 years ago October 18th 1901 in Manhattan. For us, she’s the gold
standard for songbirds of the late 1920s and early ’30s; we think she’s
keen. She retired after only a few years—the spotlight didn’t suit
her—but what a legacy she left.

Gardening is medicine 

that does not need a prescription 

...And with no limit on dosage.

Don't try to be good in everything. 

Be good in one thing. 

That's what makes you special.

~  Wilson Kanadi ~ 

“Your mind is your garden,

Your thoughts are your seeds,

The decision is yours to plant 

flowers or weeds.” 

~ Unknown ~

“Never idealize others. 

They will never live up to your expectations. 

Don't over-analyze your relationships. 

Stop playing games. 

A growing relationship can only 

be nurtured by genuineness.” 

~ Leo Buscaglia ~

“If one cannot enjoy reading 

a book over and over again, 

there is no use in reading it at all.” 

~ Oscar Wilde ~

You may never know what results 

will come from your actions, 

but if you do nothing- 

there will be no results.

~ Gandhi  ~

“Until you value yourself, 

you will not value your time. 

Until you value your time, 

you will not do anything with it.”

~ M. Scott Peck ~

Clouds come floating into my life, 

no longer to carry rain or storm, 

but to add color to my sunset sky. 

~ Rabindranath Tagore ~

True friendship multiplies the good in life

and divides it's evils. 

Strive to have friends, 

for life without friends is like life on a desert island. 

To find one real friend in a lifetime 

is good fortune; 

to keep him is a blessing.

~ Baltasar Gracian ~

Everyone has the ability 

to make a difference in this world 

all you have to do is believe 

you have power to do so.

~ Unknown ~

Every ceiling, when reached, 

becomes a floor. 

Every ending, 

leads to something more.
