the gandhi quote - be the change you wish to see - is much referred to. it's an empowering quote which asks us to look to ourselves first. i like to take it one step further and insert anything relevant for change. such as:
be the peace you wish to see.
be the encouragement you wish to see.
be the joy you wish to see.
be the light you wish to see.
be the hope you wish to see.
be the balance you wish to see.
be the wonder you wish to see.

receiver self-check
the other day i turned on the tv and there was a black screen with the words, "receiver self-check". i laughed. because i realized - and relevant messages come to us in many different forms - that this was a message to me. i'm a giver. i like to give. it makes me happy + satisfied to know i'm supplying a need, whether that need is a word of acknowledgement, a compliment or some yummy baked item for a friend. but, i'm coming to learn how to be a good receiver. not to be confused with a taker. no, that's offensive to my sensibilities. but the grace of receiving as joyfully as i give. so, it's a good thing. a self-check on being a receiver.
