November 9 - quote of the day

Sometimes good things fall apart
so better things can fall together.
- Marilyn Monroe

This quote reminds me of the endless transitions that occur throughout our lives.  For us to experience new things and take the next steps in our lives, "good things" (and bad) have to fall apart.  Sometimes these are people and places that we love deeply.   However, we must have faith that better things are just on the horizon.

Quote of the Day - Nov 8, 2012

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.”

– Marcel Proust, novelist

Great quote - but how do we "acquire" these new ideas?  For me, I have acquired my new eyes by traveling, furthering my education, trying new things in my professional and personal spheres - so I guess that we must seek "new landscapes" intentionally to find "new eyes"  And, new eyes help us seek new landscapes.
