As summer time approaches families are planning their annual summer vacation. What this means is that they will MapQuest their routes to where they plan on going; look up attractions when they reach their destination; and anticipate the cost. This is how most of us plan our travels for our personal gratification. How do we plan our journey....{click here to continue article}

An Unwavering Connection to the Infinite ~ Worth
from Sean's Mom
My mom recently forwarded me the following email. I do not know who the author is, yet I want to share it with you.
Though much of who and what we are changes as we journey through life, our inherent worth remains constant. While the term self-worth is often used interchangeably with self-esteem, the two qualities are inherently different. Self-esteem is the measure of how you feel about yourself at a given moment in time. Your worth, however, is not a product of your intelligence, your talent, your looks, your good works, or how much you have accomplished. Rather it is immeasurable and unchanging manifestation of your eternal and infinite oneness with the universe. It represents the cornerstone of the dual foundations of optimism and self-belief. Your worth cannot be taken from you or damaged by life's rigors, yet it can easily be forgotten or even actively ignored. By regularly acknowledging your self-worth, you can ensure that you never forget what an important, beloved, and special part of the universe you are.
You are born worthy-your worth is intertwined with your very being. Your concept of your own self-worth is thus reinforced by your actions. Each time you endeavor to appreciate yourself, treat yourself kindly, define your personal boundaries, be proactive in seeing that your needs are met, and broaden your horizons, you express your recognition of your innate value. During those periods when you have lost sight of your worth, you will likely feel mired in depression, insecurity, and a lack of confidence. You'll pursue a counterfeit worth based on judgment rather than the beauty that resides within. When you feel worthy, however, you will accept yourself without hesitation. It is your worth as an individual who is simultaneously interconnected with all living beings that allows you to be happy, confident, and motivated. Because your conception of your worth is not based on the fulfillment of expectations, you'll see your mistakes and failures as just another part of life's journey.

Father's Day Quotes
My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.
~ Jim Valvano
When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.
~ Jewish Proverb
He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
~ Clarence Budington Kelland
When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.
~ Mark Twain
One night a father overheard his son pray: Dear God, Make me the kind of man my Daddy is. Later that night, the Father prayed, Dear God, Make me the kind of man my son wants me to be.
~ Anonymous
By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong.
