"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

words from within~

“As we grow as
 unique
 persons,
we learn to respect the
 uniqueness
 of others.”
Robert H. Schuller


i was once told long ago by a boy

"you are unique"

UNIQUE

alone
 radically distinctive and without equal

at the time
i did not like that word he had chosen
i was left bothered
i was hoping and wishing for some kind of pretty or sweet

 n.o.t.

UNIQUE

being the only one of its kind

see back then
had i actually looked up this word
i could have embraced the thought behind such comment

without an equal or equivalent
unparalleled

i think
 i could have received 

UNIQUE
  
unusual
extraordinary

as a compliment

“Don't let anyone tell you
 that you have to be a certain way.
 Be
 unique.
 Be what you feel.”
Melissa Etheridge


 years have gone by
MANY to say the least

I EMBRACE

UNIQUE

highly unusual
rare

I Seek

UNIQUE

not usual or common or ordinary

I Welcome

UNIQUE

one and only
single
 sole

 I Savor

UNIQUE

“Each one of you has something no one else has,
or has ever had:
your fingerprints, your brain, your heart.
 Be an individual.
 Be
 unique.
Stand out. Make noise. Make someone notice.
That's the power of individuals.”
Jon Bon Jovi


i have seen it
i have felt it
i DO...understand such words

is that not the
S.I.M.P.L.E.
joy of living life

“What each must seek in his life never was on land or sea.
It is something out of his own
 unique
potentiality for experience,
something that never has been
and never could have been experienced by anyone else.”
Joseph Campbell


being

 UNIQUE

each in our own way

who we are
what we say
how we create
the way we express ourselves

“The greatness of art is
not to find what is common
but what is unique
Isaac Bashevis Singer

UNIQUE

why ever would we want to be or act or do as another?

we are
who we are

we can change
but
shouldn't we always remain true to thine self

“Know that
although in the eternal scheme of things you are small,
you are also
 unique and irreplaceable,
as are all your fellow humans everywhere in the world.”
Margaret Laurence


UNIQUE

each in our own special way

an authentic representation of our life
and
how we chose to live

to be like NO other
to open our arms to the difference
to stand tall in our reflection
of who we are as individuals

UNIQUE

imagine if we were all the same

what kind of world that would be

we are here are for a reason
to be as we wish
to live as we feel

and i hope that would be

UNIQUE

you as you are

Gosh, I love being unique. Funny, when I was younger, they used to call it 'rebellious' and perhaps I was in a way, but I always believed in being my own self.

You had me at the Bon Jovi quote ; )

Yay for individuality! I think I'd go insane if everyone were like me (I'm pretty sure there would definitely be an Armaggedon anyway).
