    Beliefs have little to do with faith. For that matter, any belief suffices. So you better accept the faith of other people as important as your own. It is not the evidence of things unseen. It is the evidence of any belief. It is only thus that it is good for everyone. C A Cafolini

    "I’m going to stop pretending my life hasn’t started yet."

    Roadwork by Richard Bachman/Stephen King

    I read this for the first time as a young adult. I realized in that moment that all my activities and interests revolved around future goals and aspirations. I was not living in the moment or taking time to "smell the roses." Or even thinking about the consequences of my actions.

    Now I am married with four kids and there are still moments my husband and I ask each other if we feel like grown-ups yet.

    I've got quite a few, but one of my favourite quotes that immediately comes to mind is...

    A family with the wrong members in control; that, perhaps, is as near as one can come to describing England in a phrase. ~ George Orwell

    What an amazing double agent was Orwell. There have been few as good as such. England never amazed me for what it lodged in order to fight for freedom. It always seemed quite normal to me: "To thyself be true." ~ C A Cafolini
