Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman star in The Bucket List, a buddy flick in which they leap from planes, drive race cars, eat caviar, motorcycle on the Great Wall of China, and trot by other wonders of the world before they “kick the bucket.”

The movie’s premise resonates~
Millions of people have a dream “do” list: all they would do if they could in life.

These lists tend to feature all the highlights on the aspirational horizon —

~acts of fancy, courage and delight, full of punch and flavor, adrenalin and imagination.

“It’s not enough to react to life on a day-by-day basis. People need a road map. Life lists are one of the best ways to plumb the depths of the human psyche,” says Caroline Adams Miller, a Bethesda, Md.-based author, motivational speaker and life coach who encourages clients to create a 100-item roster.

One of the best ways to achieve your own goals is to create public accountability and support by sharing them with a wide audience.
To that end, we encourage you to join Your100Things by Caroline Miller and begin creating your life list and encouraging others through Goal Kudos and Cheers!

Please consider the different ways that you can set and track your progress towards goals that are important to you, and that might add some zest and learning to your life.
Maybe you’ve never allowed yourself to think or dream this way, and you can open the door to an entirely new set of adventures. Or perhaps you’ll find that you’d like to shift your profession by going through this, and you can find some new friends online who will cheer you on.

I will meet you HERE: Your 100 item BUCKET LIST

Begin YOUR Bucket List TODAY.
(not tonight, not tommorrow… but RIGHT NOW) =)

Take my love,
I’ll never ask for too much…
Just all that you are ~
And everything that you do.

I don’t really need to look
Very much further,
I don’t wanna have to go~
Where you don’t follow.

I will hold it back again,
This passion inside.
Can’t run from myself,

There’s nowhere to hide.

Don’t make me close one more door,
I don’t wanna hurt anymore.

Stay in my arms if you dare,
Or must I imagine you there?
Don’t walk away from me,,,
(No, don’t walk away from me. Don’t you dare walk away from me.)

I have nothing, Nothing, Nothing~

If I don’t have you,,,,

You see through,
Right to the heart of me….,

You break down my walls,
With the strength of your love.

I never knew,,,
Love like I’ve known it with you~
Will a memory survive,
One I can hold on to?

I don’t really need to look
Very much farther,
I don’t wanna have to go~
Where you don’t follow.

I won’t hold it back again,
This passion inside!
Can’t run from myself~
There’s nowhere to hide!!

“i never knew love, like i’ve known it with you…”

(Your love I’ll remember forever.)

Look how “at ease” and purely in her element ms. huston is!

Truly u can’t fake [lipsynch] full, big, bold and beautiful self~expression!
just take a look~

passionate live performance:

m s . a l i c i a k e y s

A kindly act.
A gift given out of generosity.

Just to be with you?
I’d do anything…
~there’s no price I would not pay.

Just to be with you?
I’d give everything.
I’d give my life away~

And I’ve heard it said that a man would swim the entire ocean
just to be with the one he loves~

All of those dream are but empty motion
It has never been done.

Just to be with you? I’d do anything.
There’s no price I would not pay.

Just to be with you? I would give everything.
I would give my life away.

And I know that you don’t understand
the fullness of my love…

And I know that you don’t realize~
how much that I give you…
And I promise I would do it all again.

Just to be with you I’ve done everything..
there’s no price I did not pay.

Just to be with you I gave everything~
Yes I gave my life away.

I gave my life away just to be with you…

Until, one day, david’s parents~

An intresting distinction to a recent Post:
her name is: “d e s i r e”

Follow along:

[If your intention is life situation orientated,
that I believe,
can be more specific~ otherwise:]

Have your intention be about:
the “ k i n d ” of person your heart would desire~
but without a [specific/my] face attached.

Choose to have your intention be:

…About the kind of movie you would like to watch with a loved one…
without a specific Actor or Actress that would need to be in the starring role.

…About the kind of home you would wish to live in…
without a specific house in mind,
or a specific address,
or even specific location/country attatched.

…About the kind of car you would like to ride in with your best friend…
without a specific “hood-badge” or “brand” or “model” attached.

….About the type of Character and Value that develops,
and that your future children would have…
without being bound or irrevokably attatched to the desire of these future children being borne specificlly:
“blonde haired” and “bleu~eyed“”
or even as a “boy” v. a baby “girl“….

Be Blessed!~

“Be blessed by who you are,
and who you and your significant other become with the birth of your new~borne.”

“Desires” are NOT designed to be “wisps of smoke“~
frustrating because they are unattainable and far away.

Desires themselves do not promote a feeling of “lack” “absence” or “loss” when not fully realized or absolutely present~
desire only promotes this type of suffering when we are inappropriotely ATTATCHED.

Instead,
honourable desire gives to us the heart-felt sensation of promise…
and hope when present on the appreciative journey of fullfillment towards that desire.

Nicely said. ~There is a feeling of empowerment in the above view point.

Discover that distinction as i did, as it unfolds itself to you…
as she reveals more and more of her mystery to you~

Cease to Struggle.

Release the suffering.

Live with Intention.

Floating in a Stone Bowl

There are literally hundreds of great reasons to green with your diet but here are our: top 10.

TOP #10 Reasons to go VEGETARIAN:

1. Live Longer
A study from the Loma Linda University has found that vegetarians live about seven years longer, and vegans live about 15 years longer than meat eaters. These studies are further supported by the Chinese Health Project (the largest population study on diet and health to date). They found Chinese people who eat the least amount of fat and animal products have the lowest risk of cancer, heart attack and other diseases.

Further proof comes from a British research that tracked 6,000 and 5,000 meat eaters for 12 years to find that vegetarians were 40 percent less likely to die from cancer during that time and 20 percent less likely to die from other diseases.

2. You’ll be more “regular.”
Vegetables are the ultimate source for fiber, which pushes waste and bile out of the body. Meat contains no fiber. Studies done at Harvard and Brigham Women’s Hospital found that people who ate a high-fiber diet had a 42 percent lower risk of diverticulitis. People who eat vegetable rich diets also tend to have fewer incidences of constipation, hemorrhoids and spastic colon.

3. Have a good heart
Fruits and vegetables are full of antioxidant nutrients that protect the heart and its arteries. Plus, produce contains no saturated fat or cholesterol.
Cholesterol levels for vegetarians are 14 percent lower than meat eaters. American diet that’s filled with saturated fats and cholestrol from meat and dairy has made cardiovascular disease the number one killer in the United States.

4. You’ll avoid toxic chemicals.
95 percent of pesticide residue in our diet comes from meat, fish and dairy products (according to EPA estimates). Fish, in particular, contain carcinogens (PCBs, DDT) and heavy metals (mercury, arsenic; lead, cadmium) that cannot be removed through cooking or freezing. Meat and dairy products are also laced with steroids and hormones.

5. You’ll give your body a spring cleaning.
Fruit and vegetable juices contain phytochemicals that help us detox naturally.
Giving up meat helps rid the body of toxins (environmental pollutants, pesticides, preservatives) that overload our systems and cause illness.

6. You Will Look Better, Leaner, And Healthy
On average, vegetarians are leaner than meat eaters.
Vegetarian diets are much lower in calories than the standard American diet.
Vegetarians are also less likely to suffer from weight-related disorders like heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

7. Think of The Money You Will Save
Replacing meat, chicken and fish with vegetables and fruits is estimated to cut food bills by an average of $4,000 a year.

8. Help the environment
You’ll help reduce waste and air pollution. Circle 4 Farms in Milford, Utah, which raises 2.5 million pigs every year, creates more waste than the entire city of Los Angeles. And this is just one farm. Each year, the nation’s factory farms, collectively produce 2 billion tons of manure, a substance that’s rated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as one of the country’s top 10 pollutants. And that’s not even counting the methane gas released by cows, pigs and poultry (which contributes to the greenhouse effect); the ammonia gases from urine; poison gases that emanate from manure lagoons; toxic chemicals from pesticides; and exhaust from farm equipment used to raise feed for animals.

9. More Efficient
Right now, 72 percent of all grain produced in the United States is fed to animals raised for slaughter. It takes 15 pounds of feed to get one pound of meat. But if the grain used to feed animals to be slaughtered were given directly to people, there’d be enough food to feed the entire planet. In addition, using land for animal agriculture is inefficient in terms of maximizing food production. According to the journal Soil and Water, one acre of land could produce 50,000 pounds of tomatoes, 40,000 pounds of potatoes, 30,000 pounds of carrots or just 250 pounds of beef.

10. Its The Right Thing To Do

“Our task must be to free ourselves… by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty. Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances of survival for life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.”-

Albert Einstein

Consuming more fresh fruits, vegetables, and grains are the best source for living a healthy, more enjoyable life.

In addition former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop has said bad eating habits are the main cause of 70 percent American deaths.

Did you know 22 million animals are slaughtered to support the American appetite for meat?
It’s a great feeling to finish a health meal knowing that no beings have suffered!
