Whatever you
\ncan do or dream you can, begin it.  
\n<\/span>Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.            
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

   <\/span>–  <\/span>Johann Wolfgang von Goethe –<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine my
\nsurprise to find a small box from a jeweler whose work I so admire but have
\nnever met – BB Becker.  <\/span>He partners
\npowerful words with beautiful design and creates jewelry that embody the
\nconcept of “wearing your word.”  <\/span>(bbbecker.com)<\/span><\/p>\n

His thanks
\nfor unexpectedly receiving a gift of my latest book, “Live With Intention” was
\nan equally unexpected gift.  <\/span>Goethe’s
\nwords rest on my shoulders and the pendant is above my heart. This reminds me
\nso very much of my liberal paraphrase of a text from Dueteronomy eleven: 18-21.<\/span><\/p>\n

The
\nimportant words of your soul:<\/span><\/p>\n

Deposit them
\nin the bank account of your heart, paint them on your soul, write them on your
\nhand, wear them like jewelry, let them lead what you teach and say, let them be
\nthe spice in your conversation, may the be the road you walk, the light of dawn
\nthat greets you and the lullaby that sends you to sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
