    A comment on Conversation: If you could only give your children one piece of advice in life, what would it be?

    Feb 21 2011: Having my father as my angel, and although he's not here with us anymore... his spirit and best advices he used to pass around, will always guide me through life... He was a man who walked the talk! Always in good energy, with a sense of humor even when situations were not 'so funny'.. always smiling from his heart, loving ALL people, ALL things, PASSIONATE about LIFE in general, like never seen anyone or anything like that before!! A true inspiration to whomever he came across!!

    Therefore, yes ''follow your heart'' is one of the greatest thing you can teach someone, for I have really seen and lived that as well... but it really does take a good heart in the first place in order to do that ... So, anything that you do, any path that you may follow or lead, go with a GOOD heart on, always!!

    Few of my favorite quotes to also live by:

    '' Be the change you wish to see in the world.'' ~ Gandhi

    ” Where there is great love, there are always miracles ” ~ Willa Sibert Cather

    ” You can be happy if you know this secret: Some things are within your power to control and some things are not. ” ~ Epictetus

    '' We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.'' ~ Winston Churchill

    '' It is what I am, not what I do, that is valuable about me.'' ~ Bernard Shaw

    '' Laugh more for it is the music to your soul. '' ~ Linda Taylor
