I am striving to be a peaceful soul. Life and human issues seem to always drag me down. I fight for what I believe in, however at times I am told I should just allow life to happen. If you do not respect and honor your own beliefs, who is going to respect you. 

Whenever we attain a higher vision, the lower vision disappears of itself.</subtitle><link rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#feed' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.kimmysharinglight.com/feeds/posts/default'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6070469299102355922/posts/default'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.kimmysharinglight.com/'/><link rel='hub' href='http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/'/><link rel='next' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6070469299102355922/posts/default?start-index=26&amp;max-results=25'/><author><name>Kimmy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09809873313644835527</uri><email>abutterflyloves@msn.com</email></author><generator version='7.00' uri='http://www.blogger.com'>Blogger</generator><openSearch:totalResults>436</openSearch:totalResults><openSearch:startIndex>1</openSearch:startIndex><openSearch:itemsPerPage>25</openSearch:itemsPerPage><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6070469299102355922.post-6325324344240996765</id><published>2009-12-13T19:29:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-12-13T19:29:51.374-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='21 wise sayings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kimmysharinglight'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lazy sunday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='abutterflyloves'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mountain wings'/><title type='text'>21 Wise Sayings</title><content type='html'>&lt;script src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=7d7f293d-a490-451b-9926-3826ce0630d9&amp;amp;type=website&amp;amp;style=rotate" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;I have special dedications to people on my website later this week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I am going to be lazy, and post a wonderful email I received from MountainWings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PBrZHwohdcA/SyWU6fDqjpI/AAAAAAAACzc/Ws176MnO_A8/s1600-h/winnie+and+owl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PBrZHwohdcA/SyWU6fDqjpI/AAAAAAAACzc/Ws176MnO_A8/s320/winnie+and+owl.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21 Wise Sayings. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. The best way to get even is to forget...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Some folks wear their halos much too tight...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Some marriages are made in heaven, but they ALL have to be&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;  maintained on earth...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Unless you can create the WHOLE universe in 5 days, then&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;  perhaps giving "advice" to God, isn't such a good idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, and faith looks up...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Standing in the middle of the road is dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;  You will get knocked down by the traffic from both ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Words are windows to the heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. A skeptic is a person who when he sees the handwriting on&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; the wall, claims it's a forgery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. It isn't difficult to make a mountain out of a molehill,&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; just add a little dirt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. A successful marriage isn't finding the right person-it's&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; being the right person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. The mighty oak tree was once a little nut that held its&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; ground.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. Too many people offer God prayers with claw marks all over&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. The tongue must be heavy indeed, because so few people can't&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; hold it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16. To forgive is to set the prisoner free, and then discover&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; the prisoner was you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17. You have to wonder about humans, they think &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1260751872_0" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;God is dead&lt;/span&gt; and&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Elvis is alive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18. It's all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Just be sure to flush when you are done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19. You'll notice that a turtle only makes progress when it&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; sticks out its neck...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20. If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, you&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; can bet the water bill is higher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21. And last but not least -- God gave the angels Wings, and He&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; gave humans CHOCOLATE!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep smiling, and ...if you see someone's missing one....&lt;br /&gt;give them one of yours!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Received from &lt;a href="http://www.mountainwings.com/"&gt;www.MountainWings.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sharing light with Kimmy.

No reason to be turning things over in your mind again and again. A little reflection is a good thing.

I tell them, "There is no need to ask how to meditate, just ask how to remain unoccupied. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meditation happens spontaneously. Just ask how to remain unoccupied, that's all. That's the whole trick of meditation - how to remain unoccupied. Then you cannot do anything. The meditation will flower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you are not doing anything the energy moves towards the centre, it settles down towards the centre. When you are doing something the energy moves out. Doing is a way of moving out. Non-doing is a way of moving in. Occupation is an escape. You can read the Bible, you can make it an occupation. There is no difference between religious occupation and secular occupation: all occupations are occupations, and they help you to cling outside your being. They are excuses to remain outside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man is ignorant and blind, and he wants to remain ignorant and blind, because to come inwards looks like entering a chaos. And it is so; inside you have created a chaos. You have to encounter it and go through it. Courage is needed - courage to be oneself, and courage to move inwards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have not come across a greater courage than that - the courage to be meditative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But people who are engaged outside - with worldly things or nonworldly things, but occupied all the same, they think ....and they have created a rumor around it, they have their own philosophers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They say that if you are introvert you are somehow morbid, something is wrong with you. And they are in the majority. If you meditate, if you sit silently, they will joke about you: "What are you doing? - Gazing at your navel? What are you doing? - Opening the third eye? Where are you going? Are you morbid? Because what is there to do inside? There is nothing inside."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside doesn't exist for the majority of people, only the outside exists. And just the opposite is the case - only inside is real; outside is nothing but a dream. But they call introverts morbid, they call meditators morbid. In the West they think that the East is little morbid. What is the point of sitting alone and looking inwards? What are you going to get there? There is nothing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David Hume, one of the great British philosophers, tried once... because he was studying the Upanishads and they go on saying: Go in, go in, go in - that is their only message. So he tried it. He closed his eyes one day - a to.tally secular man, very logical, empirical, but not meditative at all - he closed his eyes and he said, "It is so boring! It is a boredom to look in. Thoughts move, sometimes a few emotions, and they go on racing in the mind, and you go on looking at them - what is the point of it? It is useless. It has no utility."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this is the understanding of many people. Hume's standpoint is that of the majority: What are going to get inside? There is darkness, thoughts floating here and there. What will you do? What will come out of it? If Hume had waited a little longer - and that is difficult for such people - if he had been a little more patient, by and by thought disappear, emotions subside. But if it had happened to him he would have said, "That is even worse, because emptiness comes. At least first there were thoughts, something to be occupied with, to look at, to think about. Now even thoughts have disappeared; only emptiness....What to do with emptiness? It is absolutely useless."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if he had waited a little more, then darkness also disappears. It is just like when you come from the hot sun and you enter your house: everything looks dark because your eyes need a little attunement. They are fixed on the hot sun outside; comparatively, your house looks dark. You cannot see, you feel as if it is night. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But you wait, you sit, you rest in a chair, and after few seconds the eyes get attuned. Now it is not dark, a little more light........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You rest for an hour, and everything is light, there is no darkness at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Hume had waited a little longer, then darkness also disappears. Because you have lived in the hot sun outside for many lives your eyes have become fixed, they have lost flexibility. They need tuning. When one comes inside the house it takes a little while, a little time, a patience. Don't be in a hurry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In haste nobody can come to know himself. It is a very very deep awaiting. Infinite patience is needed. By and by darkness disappears. There comes a light with no source there is no flame in it, no lamp is burning, no sun is there. A light, just like it is morning: the night has disappeared, and the sun has not risen.... Or in the evening - the twilight, when the sun has set and night has not yet descended. That's why Hindus call their prayer time sandhya. Sandhya means twilight, light without any source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you move inwards you will come to the light without any source. In that light, for the first time you start understanding yourself, who you are, because you are that light.

Additional high-profile feature film roles include Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan, the Coen Brothers' The Ladykillers with Tom Hanks, We Were Soldiers with Mel Gibson, Patch Adams with Robin Williams and Rules of Engagement with Samuel L. Jackson. Hurst's 15 years of steady, wide raging television credits include Steven Spielberg's Taken (mini-series, 10 episodes), TNT's action packed cop drama Wanted Emmy® award winning Medium (three seasons, reoccurring).

As I re watch season one, and this season, I can't find words to describe how friggin scary his gift is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know I cannot be the only one that gets emotion pulled right from them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I watch Medium with the kids, and it's difficult to believe Ryan plays both roles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish I was a true tv and movie writer to explain what I feel.&amp;nbsp; Luckily I have Alan Sepinwall. He is an awesome writer for the &lt;a href="http://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/index.ssf/alan_sepinwall/index.html"&gt;Star Ledger&lt;/a&gt;, critic, and fellow blogger ---&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://sepinwall.blogspot.com/"&gt;here on What's Alan Watching.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please don't take my word on it!&amp;nbsp; Put the kids to bed, and watch this show.&amp;nbsp; Enjoy for yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt Sutter's Sons of Anarchy is worth every Tuesday! The ENTIRE cast makes me smile, and the MUSIC is out of this world.&amp;nbsp; If you decide to watch, I am on Twitter, tweeting away while watching! &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/abutterflyloves"&gt;http://twitter.com/abutterflyloves&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sharing light with Kimmy.

And most of these festivals have their origin in Indian Mythology and there is very interesting stories about them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the spiritual and religious richness in India that each festival is related to some or other deity. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;One of such festivals is the 'festival of lights', Deepawali. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;The festival of diwali is celebrated by the Indians throughout the world in a joyous mood with great zeal and enthusiasm. Diwali is not limited to just one-day celebration like many other Indian festivals but it is a unique one for it brings a series of festivals and holidays with itself. Diwali is the festival of worship of Goddess Lakshmi, lights, crackers, cleanliness, sweets, lots of shopping, happiness, togetherness and almost one week's holiday. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PBrZHwohdcA/StH0w37DGFI/AAAAAAAACvs/MnH83iIdUr0/s1600-h/happy+Diwali.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img $r="true" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PBrZHwohdcA/StH0w37DGFI/AAAAAAAACvs/MnH83iIdUr0/s400/happy+Diwali.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The light of lights, the self-luminous inner light of the Self is ever shining steadily in the chamber of your heart. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sit quietly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Close your eyes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Withdraw the senses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sharing light with Kimmy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=7d7f293d-a490-451b-9926-3826ce0630d9&amp;amp;type=website&amp;amp;style=rotate" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;Striving to create a path between the present course of events and a new course; leading to new outcomes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6070469299102355922-5015617103588280882?l=www.kimmysharinglight.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.kimmysharinglight.com/feeds/5015617103588280882/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.kimmysharinglight.com/2009/10/diwali-festival-of-lights.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6070469299102355922/posts/default/5015617103588280882'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6070469299102355922/posts/default/5015617103588280882'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.kimmysharinglight.com/2009/10/diwali-festival-of-lights.html' title='Diwali - The Festival Of Lights'/><author><name>Kimmy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09809873313644835527</uri><email>abutterflyloves@msn.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='03422295540355202920'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PBrZHwohdcA/StHzfFQB2wI/AAAAAAAACvk/C9CQkNK8ipM/s72-c/diwali1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6070469299102355922.post-423230387511824116</id><published>2009-10-09T21:41:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-10-09T21:44:04.147-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='taking responsibility'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Crystal Lake South High School'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kimmysharinglight'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lovindapeace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='catch you when you fall'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='abutterflyloves'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross the finish line'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='example of my failure'/><title type='text'>Fighting until you cross the finish line</title><content type='html'>&lt;script src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=7d7f293d-a490-451b-9926-3826ce0630d9&amp;amp;type=website&amp;amp;style=rotate" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PBrZHwohdcA/Ss_wkKUUuuI/AAAAAAAACu8/L9mIOv2kM8M/s1600-h/track.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PBrZHwohdcA/Ss_wkKUUuuI/AAAAAAAACu8/L9mIOv2kM8M/s320/track.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;Almost all my blog posts are about taking ownership for your own actions and changing it up by taking self blame for poor choices.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;At any time, ANYONE, can decide, hey, my way isn't working, let me try something else. To those of you that are looking for a change, best way to teach ownership, is to take ownership. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Here is a personal example of my failure, and listening to others to help the one I love. Kimmy.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I brag about my strong daughter, but like most pre-teen girls, besides boys,  music, and friends, she had no direction. I knew she was only 13ish, but I  didn't want her struggling like me.&amp;nbsp; I wanted better motivation for education  and further education.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My daughter spent most of her pre-teens and early  teen life grounded. Yes.&amp;nbsp; We didn't take the bs.&amp;nbsp; But the groundings weren't  working. By mid first semester of her sophomore year of High School, she had  several Fs. Her room was BARE.&amp;nbsp; I was failing to motivate her. My husband and I  were so frustrated with her silence, and all the non communication.&amp;nbsp; I wanted,  and tried to blame the school. It was kind of hard to blame all her teachers,  the deans, and principals via phone and email.&amp;nbsp; I work full time, and have since  I was 18.&amp;nbsp; I don't have the energy to raise a kid, be a wife and mother, and a  full time recruiter in the beginning of a recession.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a boss that was  bold. Alyssa's actions and grades at school was causing my work to suffer. My boss pulled me aside.&amp;nbsp; Even though she didn't have kids, she said, &lt;b&gt;"Kimmy,  YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG! YOU NEED TO GIVE THAT GIRL SOME FREEDOM!!! RIGHT NOW SHE  HAS NOTHING TO LOSE OR GAIN!!"&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I could have turned my nose up. I could have ignored. But my way wasn't  being motivating. I was failing that kid.&amp;nbsp; I knew I had to try something else, keep changing it up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked that  same boss, if she would let me schedule a meeting with the High School during  work hours.&amp;nbsp; She agreed. So I went. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every teacher Alyssa had, every  dean, every principal, came into the office right after first bell. What started  out with me asking for notification of her grades, quickly turned into a "bash  mom" session.&amp;nbsp; The grades were available online I was told. Why wasn't I checking? They asked over and over. As the  meeting went on, I could see that the room shifted to a kid failing, to it is  MOM's fault!!&amp;nbsp; And guess what...I had to hide a smile!!&amp;nbsp; Yes!&amp;nbsp; It was!&amp;nbsp;I was failing her. The teachers now felt obligated to help Alyssa, to save her from mom.&amp;nbsp; It was so funny to watch the entire room back my daughter, and look at me as a working mom.&amp;nbsp; It was great!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that day, those teachers took a personal interest in Alyssa. One of her  study hall teachers, on his own, invited the Girls Track Coach to 2nd hr study  hall to meet Alyssa.&amp;nbsp; One permission slip later, She was on the girls track  team, running, sprinting, shotput and discus.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; She met more friends.&amp;nbsp; After  that, the choir teacher, decided to introduce Alyssa to the theatre crew.&amp;nbsp; So,  when she wasn't performing in the choir, she was doing lights, set up and take  down. MAN...I should have taken ownership of my failures earlier!!!!&amp;nbsp; With the  better grades, and the fact she was at school until way after 7 pm every day,  she was also going out more with friends. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had to keep an eye on those  grades. I gave warning, I set that kid up for success.&amp;nbsp; Did she still miss  assignments? YUP.&amp;nbsp; But instead me never checking, it was caught early, and I  jumped in the bad guy role.&amp;nbsp; I called or emailed the teacher asking how I can  help.&amp;nbsp; I think the teachers started pushing Alyssa more just to make sure I  didn't email.&amp;nbsp; Again, being the bad guy brought great pleasure watching Alyssa  and the teachers pushing each other to succeed.&amp;nbsp; They suprised me her  Senior Year, she was asked to write for the "South Side Story, (school  paper),and published at three or four stories every issue.&amp;nbsp; Alyssa didn't even tell me at first.&amp;nbsp; She placed the first edition on the coffee table without telling anyone. When I saw her first article, I couldn't even read it, tears were welled up.&amp;nbsp; Little did I know she was watching our reaction from the dining room.&amp;nbsp; Proud mom, proud daughter!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you imagine what would have happened if I would have told my boss  that she was being judgmental, and clenched my teeth and said, "don't tell me what to do!"&amp;nbsp; Can you imagine if  I had told her, "The reason she doesn't do her homework is because she is so  much smarter than the other kids?"&amp;nbsp; My boss would have told me that I was being  ridiculous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It wasn't her suggestion that changed Alyssa. It was changing  my behavior. Changing it up taking the blame! We changed up our efforts, to try  something else; because what we as parents were doing wasn't working for her.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our  society has an excuse for every thing that happens in life.&amp;nbsp; How much of society  is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results? How  many parents find the world to blame, because they rather blame something, some  disease, anything but themselves? Are they teaching their children to take  ownership, or find something or someone to blame?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The below post is from  my daughter after reading this.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I asked her if she wanted to add anything  to my thoughts.&amp;nbsp; She knows I get judgmental on issues, so I asked her to take a look to make sure I was able to get my point across in a positive manner. I have to change up my own behavior, to better myself.&amp;nbsp; I have a problem offering opinions and turning that into bashing.&lt;b&gt; I can help it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; I can take a step back and try to get my point across without offending. Take ownership, and make the necessary changes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;To my mom's readers&lt;/b&gt;;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;To think that this all started over four  years ago... At the time I started high school, all I wanted was the typical  Disney life. What those shows do not show you, is you begin to fail every class,  and end up struggling to find a path that will keep you alive. After failing  three classes my freshman year I began to believe that my high school was going  to end in me&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;graduating a year late,  but the determination of my parents to keep me on the right track and the help  from my teachers made it easier for me to continue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;About halfway through my Sophomore  year&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;I found several great friends  who helped me on my path to success. Most of the friends that I had prior to  that; were the no names, and the people who couldn't care less about the world  around them. After that, I found friends whose names were everywhere around the  school; from the play cast list, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;to  the people involved in sports. It made it easier because they all had the drive,  and the will to succeed. Being around that positive energy pushed me to be a  positive force. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ended up passing all of my classes that semester and  every semester after that. I ended up graduating with three credits more than I  needed. And at graduation,&amp;nbsp; I came to say goodbye and hugged a teacher after  graduation. He told me he saw this coming from the start, and that he was proud  to have helped me in my high school journey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My parents, while constantly  working, still always made time to fit me into their day. I made sure after my  sophomore year to include them in my life, and I think that helped out with the  family communication. Honestly, I couldn't of asked for better parents. They put  up with a lot and managed not to kill me in the process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that most  people say that if they could go back they would do it differently, but I cannot  help but wonder if the mistakes that I made and the advice that I have received  in the last four years would have been passed along to me if I hadn't made all  of these mistakes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;I definitely wouldn't do it over  again though. My current journey of being a full time student, and meeting  several great new friends and a great guy with goals makes me too happy to go  back to high school!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes all you need is that person or people to  catch you when you fall and thankfully I had those people along the  way.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Written by Alyssa Garcia.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sharing light with Kimmy.
