thank you for your kind words!  these quotes help me a lot also. :)

When I was little, I thought that success meant graduating from a top school and becoming CEO of a company. As I grow older, I’m learning that true success is maintaining and growing the relationships you have with your family, friends, and yourself.

Work will never give you a shoulder to cry on, or be waiting for you at home with a warm meal.

Success should equal happiness if you do it right.

Tequila Lime Flank Steak

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup blanca tequila
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp chili powder
1 garlic clove, minced fine
1/2 cup finely minced fresh cilantro leaves and stems
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
Freshly ground pepper
1-1/2 lb flank steak, trimmed

In a large measuring cup or bowl, stir together first 7 ingredients, then whisk in the oil until combined. Season with pepper. Add steak to a baking dish large enough to hold it flat, and pour marinade over. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate 4 hours. Heat your grill, and brush the grate with oil. Grill the steaks over high heat until done to your liking, 4-5 minutes a side for medium rare. Remove from grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes.

A week ago I posted a request for other bloggers to provide some of their favorite books, novellas and/or short stories in order for us to pull our resources and create a reading list made up of Tumblr bloggers.
