If I were to do a full quotes I love blog this week, we’d be here until next year.
With all the craziness in the news from politicians (Republicans feel free to exit my parts please) to innocent children being murdered (Travon is unfortunately only one that got media coverage) to outrage at a Hunger Games character being a sweet black young lady… I have to tune out of that madness and back into the love I’m trying to bring into the world thru my work & being.

“Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people wont so you can spend the rest of your life like most people can’t.” – A student in Warren G. Tracy’s class
