As a father, I have found that competitive sports are important for young girls. Gone are the days where the princess wait for the prince with his shining armor. Soccer boost their will to win in life. The minor injuries they receive on the field prepare them for life by making/forcing them to stand up and play/fight again. I love soccer.

Waste of an opportunity is torment. ~ Hadrat ‘Ali (translated Cleary) Life is full of chances and opportunity to do our best. When an obstacle prevents us from success, we suffer a great loss.

This Love is the king, yet a throne cannot be found. It is the essence of the Koran yet a verse cannot be found. Any lover hit by the Hunter's arrow will bleed all over, yet a wound cannot be found. -- Version by Jonathan Star and Shahram Shiva "A Garden Beyond Paradise" Bantam Books, 1992 This Love is a King but his banner is hidden. The Koran speaks the Truth but its miracle is concealed. Love has pierced with its arrow the heart of every lover. Blood flows but the wound is invisible. -- Tr…

-Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror -Exaggeration is truth that has lost its temper. -Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need. -Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you. Kahlil Gibran

We had a lot of fun visiting the Big Bear Zoo. Although it is a small zoo, the live tour (see attached video) made all the difference. The Zoo guide was nice enough to go over so many details including why some animals are kept in captivity. Here are some fun facts: - Animals in captivity live longer - A raccoon can take over a dog 3 times its weight - They are maitaining a bald eagle that is blind secondary to cataract. - Black bears were introduced to california in order to maintain the eco b…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The saints have polished their breasts until cleansed of greed, cupidity, avarice, and hatred. Without doubt the pure mirror is the heart acting as a receptacle for infinite pictures. The Moses-like saint possesses within his breast, in his heart's mirror, the infinite, formless Form of the Unseen. What does it matter if that Form is not contained by the heavens, the divine Throne, the Footstool, or the Fish supporting the earth? These things are all del…

There is nothing more fruitful than ignorance aware of itself. José Ortega y Gasset Once a person is aware of their own ignorance they are more capable of learning. If they are still under the illusion of having knowledge when they don't, then they will not be open to the knowledge available.

Genius is divine perseverance. Genius I cannot claim nor even extra brightness but perseverance all can have. Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States. Perseverance comes from a determined state of mind. It is required for all work in life. If someone has a hgher goal than just worldly aims, then that perseverance takes on its own nature. The knowledge required to fulfill this goal, is not attained by oneself but it is genious, bewtowed upon one.

Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death. Albert Einstein (1879-1955) Life is always full of new lessons to teach. Often younger people think they know more than their elders. Hopefully it is not too long before we all learn what little we truly know, and open ourselves up to further growth.

Excellence can be achieved if you risk more than others think is safe, love more than others think is wise, dream more than others think is practical, and expect more than others think is possible. anonymous Excellence requires us to go above what is required. Doing just enough to get by will never change anything. Demanding more of yourself, mind, body, and soul, is what expands your horizons. Once you push your limits, you open up the doors to new ideas and new ways. It also requires you to…

Here is a question and answer from cosmopolitan. Q: I want my guy to whiten his teeth. How do I gently suggest it? A: Honestly, there’s no nice way to tell him, says New York City cosmetic dentist Jeff Golub-Evans. Instead, try this tactic: “Show him your grin, and tell him you’ve been whitening and love the results. He’ll probably think about doing the same.” White strips are a simple at-home option. I don't know if that would work with my hubby. I have to drag him each time to go see the the…
