She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways by William Wordsworth

This is so beautiful! I love how he talks about a woman who is hidden but a precious treasure to him.

I Want...

I want some direction in my life.
I want to see beauty all around me.
I want passion and desire.
I want to be in love.
I want to reconnect with my femininity.
I want some sort of security.
I want to set down my own roots.
I want family of my own choosing.
I want success by my own definition.
I want to finally feel peace in my heart.
I want to find out who I'm really supposed to be.

1 Billion Rising

Please check out this website. 1 Billion Rising They are dedicated to bringing attention to and ending all forms of violence that is directed toward women all over the world.

If you read this blog then you know that I've been in abusive relationships and whole heartedly support organizations that are dedicated to drawing attention to violence against women and you should support such organizations as well. So please lend your support where you can. Violence and degradation against women is considered normal and that has got to stop immediately.

It's Over

I finally gave up on the blog template I was so proud of. Every time I fixed something I found something else that needed fixed. The last straw was when I tried to use the search. I was looking for a post I wrote awhile ago but I couldn't remember what I titled it. So I tried searching for it and suddenly I was on a page that had nothing to do with my blog and was in Portuguese! I had enough. I really loved how the template looked and I still want a notebook style template but this was just ridiculous. Sooo not worth it!

Quote: Confucius

“If one should desire to know whether a kingdom is well governed, if its morals are good or bad, the quality of its music will furnish the answer.” 

-Confucius

 The quality of most of the music in this country is terrible! Based on this quote our morals and government need some serious improvement.

Quote: Stephan Hoeller

"A pearl is a beautiful thing that is produced by an injured life. It is the tear [that results] from the injury of the oyster. The treasure of our being in this world is also produced by an injured life. If we had not been wounded, if we had not been injured, then we will not produce the pearl." 

-Stephan Hoeller
