Did you know...
... that today is the anniversary of the Lincoln-Douglas Debates? The first of the seven famous debates between Abraham
Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, both senatorial candidates from
Illinois, took place on August 21, 1858. Trivia buffs: The format for each debate was: one candidate spoke for 60 minutes, then the other candidate spoke for 90 minutes, and then the first candidate was allowed a 30-minute "rejoinder." The candidates alternated speaking first.

People are who they are; for what they do and have done. Our Committments, Passions, our Past and Dreams make us who we are. That's why we love what we have and try not to change it, but to continuously Immerse ourselves and become part of it!

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears (respects with humility and awe) the Lord is to be praised. Prov. 31:30
La vida es corta, Rompe las reglas, Perdona rápido,
Besa despacio, Ama de verdad, Rie sin control,
Y nunca sientas remordimiento por algo que te hizo sonreir.
There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will. Don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason they didn't make it to your future.
Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones that don't!
There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus soley on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy.
You'd better believe in yourself, because when the chips are down, you are all you've got!!!
Friendship is the most important thing in a relationship, earn the friendship to gain the relationship.
Many people will miss the chance to fall madly in love with their soulmate because they spend their life mad at the mate who stole love from their soul.
It's our differences that make us interesting, and often attract us to each other.
The most handicapped person in the world is a negative thinker.

That which has always been accepted by everyone, everywhere, is almost certain to be false. - Paul Valery
Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity. - Christopher Morley
