“Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”

~Stacy Charter

And how long I've been so alone
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done.

It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong.

A window breaks down a long dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see through the dark there is light.

If you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I have waited for your touch
If you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought I'd love anyone so much.

It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all he way back here I belong,
Where I belong.

This is an amazing song....I've loved her music for quite awhile. Thank you for sharing this one!

"Within each one of us there is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from how we see ourselves. When, therefore, we find ourselves in a difficult situation, to which there is no solution, he can sometimes kindle a light that radically alters our attitude, the very attitude that led us into the difficult situation." -Carl G. Jung (1875-1961)

"I'm not so good at taking my own advice, she said, but that doesn't mean I don't know what's right." ~ Brian Andreas, "Storypeople"

DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY... Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

- Don Miguel Ruiz

How do I find the words when I can't even find the heart
How do I know what to say to someone that doesn't feel safe in love
when I too have lost faith....

Written by JFN

excerpt from one of her songs.

Love doesn't drop on you unexpectedly; you have to give off signals, sort of like an amateur radio operator.

~Helen Gurley Brown

"The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook." ~William James

Kätzchen · 08-17-2010, 01:55 PM

But I forgot that your hands fed the roots,
watering the tangled roses,
till your fingertips bloomed
full, in a natural peace.

Like pets, your hoe and your sprinkling can
follow you around, biting and licking the earth.
That work is how you let this richness loose,
the carnations fiery freshness.

I wish the love and dignity of bees for your hands,
mixing and spreading their transparent brood
in the earth: They cultivate even my heart,

So that I am like a scorched rock
that suddenly sings when you are near, because it drinks
the water you carry from the forest, in your voice.

-Pablo Neruda

“The Tao Te Ching says, When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need. Have you ever struggled to find work or love, only to find them after you have given up? This is the paradox of letting go. Let go, in order to achieve. Letting go is God’s law.” – Mary Manin Morrissey
