Journeys: Halloween

Too bad that I won't be in Sacramento this year for Halloween. I'll be on the plane to NYC tomorrow night but hopefully I can at least see some people in costumes in New York. I wonder if New York City's parties are better than waiting on kids to show up at the door. I think so, so I must be getting old...

The past several years, Jim and I have dressed up, handed out candies, and went out for adult beverages, so we always had a good time! The kids and teenagers show up at our place as spiderman, superwoman, geisha (or some kind of Asian ghost), star war characters, red necks, and all kinds of interesting costumes! Our neighborhood will have a hundred some people come through for candies, I just love Halloween! If I was little, this will be one of my favorite holidays!

Tell me what you are going to be for Halloween and send me pictures so I can share the experience and excitment! Happy Halloween!!!

My favorite quotes

"If you're really listening. If you're awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. In fact, your heart is made to break, it's purpose is to burst open again and again so that it can hold evermore wonder"- Andrew Harvey

"The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness" - William Saroyan

"We never touch people so lightly that we do not leave a trace" - Peggy Tabor Millin

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." - Mark Twain

"The good is the enemy of the best" - Voltaire

"The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams" - Oprah Winfrey

"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new" - Albert Einstein

"To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness" - Bertrand Russell

"Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry" - Mark Twain

"When you can make the average Great, your dreams can become a reality" - Suze Orman

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others" - Marianne Williamson

"Be the change you want to see in the world" - Mahatma Gandhi

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" - Albert Einstein

"I believe that [everyone] is the keeper of a dream - and by tuning into one another's secret hopes, we can become better friends, better partners, better parents, and better lovers" - Oprah Winfrey

"The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well" - Joe Ancis
