After 21 years, I have finally lived.
If I were to write what I've learned and what I feel is the "meaning" or "key" to life, it would take up this entire book. There is no one phrase to sum up life and Happiness. The Key to life is to search for Happiness, and never stop looking.

Thank you, Patrick.
I enjoyed listning to other people's written words. Not enough time to write all that comes to mind... But I feel gratefulness is "Where it's at."

With the self serve winds that blow
Tis the set of the sails
And not the sails
That tell us the way to go
Like the winds of the sea, are the way of fate
As we voyage along through life
Tis the set of a soul
That decides it's goal
And not the calm or the strife

I am going to gather them all up on next Wednesday which is August 25. If you want to put few more of your thoughts in the books, please do so before it is all gathered back by me.
Thanks again for all the great entries that you all had contributed. It was a great success and it cannot had done so without each and every one of you.
Thank you so much.
and upon the gathering, I shall post all the entries on the blog so that you can read and learn it all.

I learned to live for myself, seek the unknown and you will always discover and uncover. There is so much world to see. Also, “It’s a scary business waking out your door, if you don’t keep your feet there’s no telling where you might be swept off to.” Don’t KEEP YOUR FEET!!!

In order to truly understand something you must live in it. If there is something you want to know about just immerse yourself in the culture of it. In time you ultimately will become what you wanted to understand.

Only Nick Mames knows the exact details of the agreement and the secret come to unleash anmegeddon. By him a few DBN’s @ meanwhile and he will tell you all about it!

Children are the most precious gifts God ever gave - but who ever heard of a gift worth receiving that didn’t take some work?
Always remember your children are a gift from God - they don’t belong to you. So let them grow and let them go when the time comes!

I already wrote in this a while ago, but I felt like writing again... So, I’ back... Sage Clarissa. I wrote on the page with a star in the upper right - hand corner. And by the way... that person over there... Amberly... She's my best friend ever! Couldn’t ask for a better one. I’m lucky to have her. We designed that together years ago (a arrow pointing to a small drawing) when we were doing henna tattoos... Now it is painted with bright paints on my bedroom wall, which he also helped me with.. and now, she and I are heading down to Rosa parks circle to let the good times roll... Life is good!
Lots of Love,

Never judge a human for what they can or can’t do, or what stage in life they are from little cells to an old ma. The second you try to define humanity by what the person does, you open the door to somebody judging your humanity. Then, like many others, you cald be ruled non-human. Just ask the Native Americans, Americans, Rwandans, Jews, or Iraqi Christians (Maronite Catholics)... or Black people... or aborted babies... or women... Also, when you know, you know.
