1.  Yesterday, I heard a man speak about courage.  He stated that the most courageous people he has ever met are the ones, regardless of education-background-race-age, who have had the courage to change, to look at their lives, realize what is not working, and find the courage to do life differently, to become better people, and to ultimately add to our overall human experience in a positive way.  Courage is what it takes to face something head-on, without retreating, when it really counts.  I learned I am courageous.

2.  This week I have learned that we must never assume there may never be another chance to connect with someone.  Give of yourself today, as today is all we have.

3.  UCLA has it’s own planetarium.  It’s been there since the 1960′s.  I did not know it existed even when I attended UCLA.  Once again learning the lesson that valuable resources are all around us and ours to experience – if we open our eyes and seek with curiosity and a love of learning new things.
