Elizabeth Dole – Plain and Fancy

VISIONS and DREAMS for 2014

A man must have dreams–memory dreams of the past and eager dreams of the future. I never want to stop reaching for new goals. – Maurice Chevalier

Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. Habakkuk 2:2 New King James Version (NKJV)

Between your dream‘s inspiration and its manifestation, there’s going to be a lot of perspiration. Daily Devotional: The Word for you Today, January 2, 2014 entry

A [wo]man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams. John Barrymore

MEMORY

Yesterday is today’s memory and tomorrow is today’s dream. Kahlil Gibran

Memory is the script of the soul. Aristototle

Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our [grand]children. Charles R. Swindoll

God gave us memory so we might have roses in December, (January, February . . )

From my JOURNALS 1996-1998

Gratitude is the heart’s memory. French proverb

Puttering is creating a fresh interior landscape. Sarah Ban Breathnach in Simple Abundance

Women share with men the need for personal success, even the taste for power, and no longer are we willing to satisfy those needs through the achievements of surrogates, whether husbands, children or merely role models. Elizabeth Dole

On Music:

“The auditory nerve is very closely connected to the limbic system so that sound (i.e. music) does not have to go through the cortex of the brain but goes directly to the heart, the senses.” unknown source (noted April 9, 1998)

Rhythm in music imprints language on the brain in a way pure auditory words will not. Slower tempo in classical music develops a framework for learning to occur. NPR report on “The Mozart Effect” (1998)
