Polar Opposites

Be so happy that when others look at you they become happy too

Ladies and gents, this is extra large for a reason! ;)
You mantra of day! Strive to be *that* happy!

Book Review: The Coming Revolution

A lovely new addition to my book shelf courtesy of BookSneeze!

The Coming Revolution: Signs from America's Past That Signal Our Nation's Future by Dr. Richard Lee is an inspirational work of non-fiction. Dr. Lee speaks about patriotism and taking the country's fate and future into our own hands. He speaks from a conservative viewpoint, which might make this a little controversial towards those on the other end of the political spectrum. The Coming Revolution is well researched and detailed, exploring America's original Revolution and delving further into how it applies to today's issues. As a Canadian, this was a fascinating read to learn a little more about the history of our southern neighbors! :)

A Day Like Any Other

"You can't possibly imagine how much I love you." He whispered the words she'd said to him first every year for the last five years. In his arms she stiffened, pulling back to look up at him with anguished eyes. She had just remembered. Her mouth opened to apologise.
Snape shook his head, placing a long finger over her lips. "I would marry you all over again, Hermione."
He did it because it would make her cry tears of joy, and he could kiss them away."

I Wish...

I wish my next stop was happiness.

Sweet Nothings...

"I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity. ♥"

"who is this morbidly obese person?"

LOL...a Facebook status and comment captured forever!

You Said It, Sista! ;)

Boar VS Boar

In a fight, would I rather face a boar or a bore?
Well, considering one is a hairy, unkempt beast....

Oh! You thought I was talking about the boar? *chuckles*

Boredom is much more formidable then any wild creature. It's also quite a bit harder to defeat.

It's the heaviness of your eyelids.

The monotonous drone of a bad speaker.

The idle taptaptap of a writing utensil against the desk.

So, what prompted this?

There's only one way

to say

those three words

and that's what I'll do

I love you

Regret?

So I did mention that one of my biggest fears is probably the weight of regret...

“Never choose a friend without complete understanding and....

Never lose a friend because of a small misunderstanding.”

Never before had they known such hope.
In a world drenched in violence and oppression, here was a man armed with a message of peace and freedom. Into lives nearly overwhelmed by grief and sorrow, he brought compassion and healing and the deepest joy. To people who felt like outcasts and aliens, he showed the way home. And then, in one devastating night, all their hopes collapsed.
This is where our story begins—in the valley of despair. It is a tale of two friends, a stranger, and a search for truth in a world gone mad with doubt.
Historian Joseph Loconte unlocks the meaning of their exchange, set in the chaotic days following the execution of Jesus of Nazareth. Drawing from literature, film, philosophy, history, and politics, Loconte shows how this biblical drama is an integral part of our own story.
Sooner or later, we will find ourselves among the searchers.

Another great read: from me, to you! :D

The inspiring and gritty story of the World's Greatest Athlete. Redemption tells the story of Bryan Clay, winner of the 2008 Olympic gold medal and the 2004 Olympic silver medal in the decathlon. By the grace of God, Bryan went from being a fist-fighting, drug-using, presuicidal kid in Hawaii to world champion in the toughest Olympic sport. His secret? A dramatically rediscovered faith and his mother’s relentless prayers.

Redemption goes beyond standard sports memoirs, giving a clear storyline of an athlete’s misspent youth, his desperate Christian conversion at a time of utter personal defeat, and his mother’s fervent prayers that helped transform him into a top athlete, family man, and loving father. Bryan’s story will inspire mothers, fathers, and young readers alike as they experience the rise of a champion from obscurity and failure to the pinnacle of athletic achievement.
The world will be watching Bryan, at the age of 32, defend his gold medal at the London Olympics in 2012.
