Life is not a dress rehearsal. Trust steadily. Hope unswervingly. Love extravagantly. Peace for all.

Love must be our reputation.

Some wisdom grows only in solitude. Other wisdom waits for us in the voices around the table. The spiritual life needs both kinds of light.

Doug Ford is the most expensive premier in Ontario’s history - but his record spending isn't actually helping Ontarians.
Premier, it is time to put our money where your mouth is. It is way past time to start actually building homes, creating jobs, and helping Ontarians. #onpoli

Most successful people are people you’ve never heard of. They want it that way. It keeps them sober. It helps them do their jobs.

I find the older I get that there's very little about life that's as simple or as quick as you claim. Maybe you should take a breath and not jump to conclusions about someone I suspect you don't know and have never met, and yet you have a definitive opinion about.
Because you are shamelessly and uncritically promoting a con artist whose business is fleecing the bereaved.
This gets really simple really quick.
