How to Be Civil in an Uncivil World

It is never about the actual event but what it forces one to process.

So with that in mind,

“UBR”

Up, Back & Relaxed

“BBR”

Take a Beat, Breathe & Remind yourself of what you want

You don’t move on.

you move through.

See the world like an eagle.

Live it like an ant.

To peace with our only true power.

When you think you’ve hit rock bottom,

There are still seven more floors.

Displaced societies are of value.

Their issues are our issues.

I’d like to live in a world where artists are priceless and Wall Street is redundant.

Why now?

It takes all facets to make this world a diamond.

Kindness seems to come from those who have the least.

You mean there’s a front door?

I don’t need to be treated better than anyone else, just stop treating me less than anyone else.

You never age if you keep love in your heart, passion in your soul and a twinkle in your toes.

You’re exactly where you should be, so just breathe!

Just ‘cause I don’t say nothing don’t make me a sap.

There ain’t nothing wrong with wealth – it’s just who paid for it that matters.

Wait. Did I just say that out loud?

Okay GOOD!

Fighting for the right thing is never the wrong thing.

Just smile and move on,

The only thing you have to answer is the honesty of love.

Of course you can get to the top faster by stepping on everyone, but doesn’t it make it kinda of lonely?

Life and the journey is a multitude of baby steps that lose nothing when we help another walk.

My path would have no stones if Others had not shared theirs.

They could’ve lifted a finger. Instead, they stuck it in.

Old stories that do not end only go deeper.

“Turn the other cheek” does not mean you forget who slapped it.

I’d rather wear the face of poverty than a face of deceit.

A smile is the outward radiance of the heart.

If you think I’m an idiot, wouldn’t I be if I tried to change your mind?

It’s never about the actual event, but what it forces one to process.

If we keep judging women like books, no one would bother to read.

When you walk with love, love doesn’t walk on you.

Our enemies are who we alienate and do not embrace for they too are part of the solution.

Smart enough to see it.

Strong enough to say it.

That was so not needed in my repertoire of feelings today.

The sun will always rise when you swing the bat again.

If you’re waiting for someone to help you, you will never succeed.

The #1 rule is baseball: you get to hit the ball back!

Believing the tale is so much easier than living the real.

So used to nothing that nothing don’t mean nothing.

My journey is bigger than I know.

I merely put on the shoes.

When the mind plays, the heart soars.

A woman is more than the sum of her parts. She is the soul that holds her parts.

Keep out your fancy shoes.

Life is a battle fought with a steel tongue and an open heart.

Life is long.

Keep your overhead low and your expectations high.

Force isn’t yours.

It’s for all those forces forcing you to have force.

Make the most of the road not offered you.

If you want to know your enemy, bow your head.

All heals when one is remembered.

Success is walking the tightrope of life and not looking down.

Power is diffusing anger and fusing peace.

Life is a balance that occurs when all can participate and profit.

Life is the journey lived.

Stay strong with an open heart.

Attractiveness is love shining outwards.

Don’t ever deny yourself the gift of what is in the hopes of collecting on what might.
