Talktome

This page is dedicated to the memory of Jeannette Henderson

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!!!"

This epitomizes Jeannette's (two n's, two t's, please!) head-on attitude and enjoyment of life. She was our source for quotes, jokes, dumb blonde stories (don't be offended—she was blonde), and inspirational quotations. Seeing her screen name, Talktome, in the inbox always brought a smile of anticipation.

Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.

A closed mouth gathers no foot.

If the shoe fits, get another one just like it. (especially if they're stilettos!)

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

A walk with God is never a ride, it is always an intentional event
measured step by step.
—Randy Kilgore

Be not afraid to go slowly; Be only afraid of standing still.
—Japanese proverb

To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing.
—Eva Young
