I used to think that we’d eventually find a place in life where we could rest, where we could find balance and security. THE job, THE house, the perfect formation regimen for my kids. If only we had… then we’d be…
But I think I'm coming to realize that's all nonsense. I now know that I can either live dead, or I can live alive. And I haven’t seen any evidence that true life, freedom, and joy involves being safe. It’s actually pretty intense, more liken to a minefield than an oasis. You feel life, when you are alive and participating in it. The good and the bad. The consolation and the desolation. So today I choose life. Whether it’s washing the dog, visiting with a neighbor, or getting up on stage. I want to bring my entire soul with me. This life, this gift you and I have, is way too amazing to simply pass by safely unaware. The captivating beauty of creation, satisfaction found in work, and supernatural joy in loving relationships. I want to feel life in my toes. I want to feel it everyday. The good, the tough, and even the unwelcome experiences are gifts I want to learn how to receive well. So let’s quit looking past our life, toward something that's better, more safe, more secure. Let's dance with the life we have now. Knowing that God is making us all better, that He's for us. Everything in our life right now is for our benefit and for our growth. God’s given us this life to live. Let’s turn it all the way up to 11!

It was so nice to hear that people made an extra effort in order to make things out happen. It was an inspiring act to make an event regarding the environmental caring. Many people nowadays do not consider our environment and tends to do whatever they want in the sake of business. I recently have read about an article who practiced Eco green market in her products and it was really a successful one and even featured in the television. Keep up the good and nice work!

If you think about it. Life is not living, it is dying every day. It depends on the person whether he thinks of life the way I think about the life I have. Sometimes, I just wanted to cut my life, but always think beyond the box and make myself even better. Life is not safe, there are many unhealthy living creatures and they were really toxic. I hope being one in the society is just plain and doing something about it will change it.
