Presented by Brenda Music: Because I Love You by Richard Clayderman

After a girl is grown, her little brothers – now her protectors – seem like big brothers.

I love my mother as the trees love water and sunshine – she helps me grow, prosper, and reach great heights.

Guilt is always hungry, don’t let it consume you.

  Coffee is the best thing to douse the sunrise with.

My favorite weather is bird-chirping weather.

Love is when you can be your true self with someone, and you only want to be your true self because of them.

Our bodies run on the fresh green fuel of the land.

You must weed your mind as you would weed your garden. 

Hate less, live longer.

Life is amazingly good when it’s simple and amazingly simple when it’s good.

As I look back on my life, I realize that every time I thought I as being rejected, I was being re-directed

  Don’t forget that your spirit-twinkle

makes life’s rainbow shine bright.

If you’re smiling, no matter here you are or what you are doing, you are on vacation.

  I have found that if you love life, life will love you always.

When sister and brother stand shoulder to shoulder, who stands a When sister and brother stand shoulder to shoulder, who stands a chance against us? chance against us?

  There are moments in your life that make you and sets the course of who you are going to be. Sometimes they’re little subtle moments. Sometimes they’re big moments you never saw coming. No one asks for their life to change but it does. It’s what you do afterwards that counts. That’s when you find out who you are.

If I had to sum up friendship in one word, it would be comfort.

The goal of life: simple, but not empty

HOW CAN SOMETHING BOTHER YOU IF YOU WON’T LET IT?

Even hundredfold grief is divisible by love.

  Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe if you must. But take the step.

Just before dawn I have the world all to myself.

Remind yourself that it’s OK not to be perfect.

Follow your passion, and success will follow you.

Guilt is always hungry. Don’t let it consume you.

Is everything as urgent as your stress would imply?

  Jealousy injures us with the dagger of self doubt.

You can never worry your way into enlightenment.

All it takes is one bloom of hope to make a spiritual garden.

Every son quotes his father, in words and in deeds.

  If I lose balance in a pose I reach higher and God reaches down to steady me. It works every time and not just in yoga.

If you’ve never been thrilled to the very edge of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom.

The color of springtime is in the flowers; the color of winter is in the imagination.

  Good fortune shies away from gloom. Keep your spirits up. Good things will come to you and you will come to good things.

Thorns and stings and those such things make stronger our angel wings.

  Next time you’re mad, try dancing out your anger.

Hate cages all the good things about you.

Wash out your ego every once in a while, as cleanliness is next to godliness not just in body but in humility as well.

How long has it been since someone touched part of you other than your body?

THERE’S NOTHING LIKE A MAMA-HUG.

Aside from new babies, new mothers must be the most beautiful creatures on earth.

With arms outstretched I thank. With heart beating gratefully I love.

With spirit full I live.

Those we love and lose are always connected by heartstrings into infinity.
