In this section,
we present book recommendations, HSP-related events, and some of our favorite quotes for HSPs.
First off, we want to tell you about and recommend Dr. Elaine Aron's yearly East and West Coast HSP Gatherings.
For more information, visit Dr. Aron's website www.hsperson.com.
Some ideas and concepts we think are relevant to highly sensitive people and Non-HSPs alike...
"The only way you know you love yourself or anyone else is by the commitments you are willing make and keep."
"Bad habits are easy to form, but hard to live with; good habits are hard to form, but easy to live with."
"You have a choice: The pain of discipline, or the pain of regret." (You're going to pay, one way or the other.)
"Don't spend major time with minor people."
"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."
Here's a quote by Margaret Mead that applies to HSPs:
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed. It is the only thing that ever has."
One final important thought, and good words to live by, that we hear regularly at Dr. Pat Allen's wonderful seminars:
"Beware of your words for they become your actions, beware of your actions for they become your habits, beware of your habits for they become your character, beware of your character for it becomes your destiny."

In Memory of a very dear friend, Michael E. Tinley, who was at work on the 100th floor of the North Tower at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Here is my "Ground Zero" photo that I took from the observation deck of the Empire State Building the first weekend it was open to the public and what was also the first day of "America's War on Terrorism," October 7, 2001.
