......rich

(that plant behind me is definitely getting bigger!)

being rich is not about money. although it certainly makes things easier (in some ways)

being rich is about who you share your life with, about the things you create, about the space that you create around yourself that invites people in to share, about the positive attitude you take, about the things you bring to the table, about the words you offer, about the people you have around you that offer words when you need them, about being able to be with someone and cry when you need to, about being able to relax, about being able to not do anything if you want to, about discovering something new about someone.....

......success can not be measured by comparing yourself to others ....you should have your own goals, your own measure of success ...success does not need to mean achieving something huge but can be about taking one small step .....success should not be measured by the worlds standards but by the standards you set for yourself.....

....you can never know what it's like to be anyone other than who you are.... ...love who you are....
