While deciding on content for this website, I ran in to some great quotes that I wanted to share, but decided not to feature on the site. I hope you enjoy them too.

“I'm not sure if there's one right place I'm supposed to be, he said, but I know a couple of wrong places I'd give a second try in a heartbeat. ” – Brian Andreas

“What I'm mostly good at is sleeping, he once told me in confidence, but he added, I don't see much future in it.” -Brian Andreas

“Trapped mainly by wanting things to be exactly as they are, only better.” -Brian Andreas

“My grandma used to plant tomato seedlings in tin cans from tomato sauce & puree & crushed tomatoes she got from the Italian restaurant by her house, but she always soaked the labels off first. I don't want them to be anxious about the future, she said. It's not healthy. ” -Brian Andreas.

“Is willing to accept that she creates her own reality except for some of the parts where she can't help but wonder what the hell she was thinking” - Brian Andreas

“Remember to use positive affirmations. I am not a dork is not one of them.” -Brian Andreas

“That is to say I am not going to get a single speed bike if I can’t make it up the hill
I know exactly how many gears I’m going to need to love you well
And none of them look hip at the coffee shop
They all have God saying ‘good job you’re finally not full of bullshit’ “ -Andrea/Andrew Gibson

“A further sign of health is that we don't become undone by fear and trembling, but we take it as a message that it's time to stop struggling and look directly at what's threatening us. ” – Pema Chodron

"The fundamental question is not whether there is or isn’t suffering. It is how we work with suffering so that it leads to awakening the heart and going beyond the habitual views and actions that perpetuate suffering. How do we actually use suffering so that it transforms our being and that of those that we come in contact with?" – Pema Chodron

"I give up both the hope that something is going to change and the fear that it isn’t. We may long to end suffering but somehow it paralyzes us if we’re too goal-oriented." -Pema Chodron
