The gift of noticing beauty
“How does appreciating spring help the people of Ukraine? If we believe in chaos theory, and the butterfly effect, that the flapping of a monarch’s wings near my home can lead to a weather change in Tokyo, then maybe noticing beauty — flapping our wings with amazement — changes things in ways we cannot begin to imagine. It means goodness is quantum. Even to help the small world helps. Even prayer, which seems to do nothing. Everything is connected.” ~Anne Lamott

Guilt by association
“The company you keep determines how others view you. Identify with mediocrity and you will be labeled sub par. Collaborate with questionable people and your reputation becomes suspect. Guilt by association can end a career, hurt your business, and even cost you friends. Choose your relationships wisely or you may be associated with someone else’s sins.” ~Carlos Wallace
