“Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:

~ I shall not fear anyone on Earth.
~ I shall fear only God.
~ I shall not bear ill will toward anyone.
~ I shall not submit to injustice from anyone.
~ I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth,
~ I shall put up with all suffering.”

Happiness is …

…. an uninvited guest!

I would like to think that a green grasshopper indicates new beginnings and growth.

Grasshoppers can only jump forward, not backwards or sideways.

So, go ahead, leap forward with courage and faith.

Bring back the childlike sense of adventure in your life!
