watch out: you may not like what I think is funny....and artistic

DISCLAIMER:  apologies to those who don't really know me.  and some who think they know me will probably be shocked that I LOVE THESE SONGS!  i know they demean women, but it's funny and  would have probably have been some of our theme songs in college...

i think anyone who makes music or art or acts on stage or in the movies....well, in short, anyone brave enough to perform and actually be good and successful at it, is amazing in their own way.  i may not agree about their "message" but they are just being themselves and being incredibly talented!!


so on to my first NEW favorite song these days...."SHOTS" from LMFAO and Lil Jon:

Stepping Stones of Faith

Little spirituality I am sharing b/c I found it as I am working to sort thru the MOUNDS of STUFF (wanted to say a stronger word there, but didn't seem appropriate when i'm talking about faith....):


"Faith is the fruit of spirituality.  It takes discipline  Faith are the manners of living."

"Faith is something you build, not something you just have."

"Stepping Stones of Faith are:
1. Compassion:  nobody is alone
2. Curiosity: keep learning and thinking experientially
3. Confession: admission/acknowledgement that we've fallen short of the person we are meant to be"

This may be attributed to Karen Armstrong, but i'm not entirely sure.

Found these notes scribbled in one of my various notebooks from probably 3 years ago....i'm usually better at dating my notes and giving credit to the deserving, but these are not well documented...anyways...

"Buildings are built to absorb shocks.  They must be strong but be flexible.  They cannot be rigid." -unknown
