“It is only by risking from one hour to another that we live at all.” – William James
Turn off auto-pilot and engage, laugh, dance, feel. One moment, one hour, one day, make up our life. Risk in small ways. Create depth and substance. Meaning and relevance. Live today.

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” – Confucius
It’s been one of those weeks where everything feels complicated and hard, the running through wet cement hip deep kind. As I wandered through photos and quotes, it hit me.

"In summer, the song sings itself." - William Carlos Williams
"There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart." - Celia Thaxter
"Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language." - Henry James
