People are often unreasonable; illogical; and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful you will win some false friends; and some true enemies;
succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building; someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, there may be jealousy;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today; people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have; and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best youve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis;
It is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway!

Lost

LOST
9/5/04
I WANDER INTO A LAND FULL OF PRISONERS
TRAPPED INSIDE A CHARADE...
WHAT`S WRONG OR RIGHT?
POPULAR; AND JUST NOT MY STYLE
NORMAL IS... NOT EVEN CLOSE TO ADEQUATE

TO ME - THEY ARE LOST

BUT, THEY ARE ALL TOGETHER
SO THEY FEEL LIKE THEY BELONG

I AM ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN

I LIKE MYSELF...
BUT I AM PRETTY MUCH ALONE
AMONGST THESE PRISONERS
OF POPULARITY
I AM LOST

AND GLAD I CAN SEE .... WITH EYES CLEARLY

what is meant by
"spitting image"
when he tries
to feed cereal
to his infant!

Amelia Earhart

Amelia Earhart is my hero because she took big risks and enjoyed her life! She did exactly what she wanted to do, and didn`t let others stand in her way.
MAY 1932
Amelia Earhart became the first lady to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
1937
Amelia and her navigator disappear while attempting the first flight around the world.
Although I do not personally fly - I use Amelia as a reminder that I can accomplish my dream, even when it seems impossible to me or to many others.

About me:

Good afternoon!
I just thought I would take moment to introduce myself. My name is Laura Mansfield. I am a writer, amongst other things! I have 2 works in progress:
Amelia to Zebulon; which is a book about a girl named Amelia. Amelia is lost, and if you haven`t guessed, is named after my hero- Amelia Earhart! This is a book about a girl who comes to find herself after her love has gone astray. In finding herself she moves to a new town and finds herself with a whole new identity! She draws a picture of a wonderful town, wherein lies an old church with a beautiful steeple... On the top of which is an Ancient Gargoyle named Zebulon... In her most depressed state, Amelia befriends Zebulon, and the rest... is in my book!
I hope to have this book finished in the beginning of 2009!
It has kept me up many a night! I barely want to finish! Very exciting!
my second book is not yet named... it is a childrens picture/story book about a native indian who finds himself kidnapped - there is a huge twist in this kidnapping, and it leads to the theme that you can never lose your roots to your true self and family.
Will let you know as these books progress. In the meantime you can find some of my other writings here. I love poetry - so that will be a majority of what you will find. Please follow copyright law as this is a work of love and lots of time! Thank you!
