About Me

“The moment inbetween what you once were, and who you are now becoming, is where the dance of life really takes place.” ~ Barbara De Angelis "Nothing happens without personal transformation." I decided one day I wanted to change. I wanted more from life. I realized that if you want more, YOU have to make it happen. You have to go to it and create it. The most powerful weapon against a mediocre life is practice. And just like a fire, the human spirit needs to be lit again each day.

April 28, 2008 - Mentors

"The ultimate measure of man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."- Mark Twain

"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."- Robert F. Kennedy

These people come in our lives in many different ways.
We never know when someone or something will change our life.
Mentors are so important. I just want to say thanks to all of my mentors out there who have given me the best days of my life and who taught me things about myself.
A simple dive in the sky, or a jump from a trapeze platform or a day out on the rock or in the ocean...Nothing happens without personal transformation, and my mentors help make this possible.
This also includes my family, my friends, my boss or anyone else out there who has taught me to live and love and never stop learning and never give up.
A friend told me a few months ago that he was at his richest when he saw someone being able to live a fuller, happier life all because of something he had taught them. He is a giver.
To learn about yourself, a simple boost of confidence, a smile or a small act of kindness goes a long way. It may not mean much to one person, but it could be the whole world to another.
