Boomer Hot 161 – 170

Rhonda  Byrne    March 12, 1951   58	You can start with nothing, and out of nothing and out of no way, a way will be made.” “The feeling of love is the highest frequency you can emit. The greater the love you feel and emit, the greater the power you are harnessing.”
Our Why:	For not keeping Secrets.
Sean Hannity December 30, 1961 47	“One of the best lessons I learned early is that not everything in life is about you. It is about service. If you want trips and excessive gifts, then don’t get into public service.”
Our Why:	Another one who shares secrets–the secrets in the bills that are being signed and not read.
Rita Rudner September 17, 1955 55	“I don’t plan to grow old gracefully. I plan to have face-lifts until my ears meet.” “Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with superheros. Women have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with Barbie.”
Our Why:	Honest, entertaining, and she says what we think when we look in the mirror–yet, hers thoughts, somehow, are funnier!
Simon Cowell October 7, 1959 49	“I think you have to judge everything based on your personal taste. And if that means being critical, so be it. I hate political correctness. I absolutely loathe it.”
Our Why:	We love him for not being politically incorrect, he means what he says, says what he means, and unlike politicians–we understand him.
Sade January 16, 1959 50	“This wasn’t an experience I was used to. It didn’t occur to me for a second that I might get rejected. But because I had been rejected, I wanted to prove I could do it.”
Our Why:	She proved she could; her voice is smooth and silky like warm chocolate on a cold day–she touches us.
Stephen Fry August 24, 1957 52	“I am a lover of truth, a worshiper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance.”  “Don’t get me wrong, toddlers & infants are charming. But, to share an aeroplane cabin with them…oh, for a blowpipe and a phial of curare…Landed. Slept like a narcoleptic log during the flight.”
Our Why:	Stephen Fry: The Secret Life of the Manic-Depressive, an important and knowledgeable book from a very humorous comedian.
Sally K. Ride May 26, 1951  58	“All adventures, especially into new territory, are scary.”
Our Why:	Hall of famer many times over, developer, space rides, and tennis anyone?  Multi-talented woman who has done incredible things.
Stephen King September 21, 1947 61	“People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy… and I keep it in a jar on my desk.”
Our Why:	Page turner after page turner–he keeps us on the edge of our seats.
Sandy Skoglund September 11, 1946    62	“I think I am most fond of the unseen part. I mean that the various cultural experiences that I go through, and the behavioral aspects of getting the work done, are just as important as the installation and the photograph. So, for me, the relationship between the two is more about hybridism and the search for an ideal form that I’m never going to arrive at. The installation and the photograph are mere approximations of this ideal.”
Our Why:	Beautiful, beautiful images…
Stephen Spielberg December 18, 1947 62	“A lot of the films I’ve made probably could have worked just as well 50 years ago and that’s just because I have a lot of old-fashion values.”
Our Why:	Frame after frame, he keeps us spell bound at the cinema.

Sarah Margaret Ferguson October 15, 1959  49	“I feel that children are terribly vulnerable and their plight easily forgotten. While there are many superb children’s charities, my idea was to find and support those who have fallen through the cracks. I am passionate in my belief that all children deserve a chance for a bright and healthy future. … And I’ve seen a lot done with relatively little money and resources.”
Our Why:	A heart of gold, a great character, and a go-getter.  She is refreshing, she tells it like it is.
Steve Jobs February 24, 1955  54	“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”
Our Why:	Fonts, fonts, fonts, for fonts on the computer…among many other things we are very grateful!
Sarah Palin February 11, 1964  45	“No one expects us to agree on everything. But we are expected to govern with integrity, good will, clear convictions, and…a servant’s heart.” “A free market system allows all parties to compete, which ensures the best and most competitive project emerges, and ensures a fair, democratic process.”
Our Why:	Inspirational: A woman, who instead of sitting at home criticizing her children’s school, got off the couch and volunteered to make things better.    For more Sarah, Click Here.
Steve Wozniak August 11, 1950  59	“Every dream I’ve ever had in life has come true ten times over.”
Our Why:	Gratitude–we can learn about gratitude from this friendly, jovial man.
Sharon Osbourne October 9, 1952  56	“If anybody says their face lift doesn’t hurt, they’re lying. It was like I’d spent the night with an axe murderer.”
Our Why:	Great business woman and without her we wouldn’t have had Ozzy as we know him today–a music great.  And, kudos for being a kind woman.
Steven Curtis Chapman November 21, 1962  46	“This is life we’ve been given, made to be lived out, so…live out loud.”
Our Why:	Amazing award winning gospel singer, charity founder who adopts kind ways of being.
Sharon Stone March 10, 1958  51	“Women might be able to fake orgasms. But men can fake whole relationships.”
Our Why:	She’s Sharon Stone, need we say more?
Steven Victor Tallarico March 26, 1948   61	“Don’t get fuckin’ married.”  “Lie till you die.”
Our Why:	He’s Steven Tyler, need we say more?  Plus the fact he’s been free of alcohol and drugs for over 20 years now.  Kudos.
Star Parker 1956	“If Harvard Professor Gates and Barack Obama are outraged by a policeman on Gates’ front porch, why are they not outraged at the massive federal intrusion into every part of our lives?” “Anybody that believes in separation of church and state needs to leave right now.”
Our Why:	Smart as a whip, moxie, and driven with a sense of humor.  What a powerful woman.
Ted Nugent December 13, 1948  61	“I am Classic Rock Revisited. I revisit it every waking moment of my life because it has the spirit and the attitude and the fire and the middle finger. I am Rosa Parks with a Gibson guitar.”
Our Why:	He is a classic–his music is listened to by the Gods–and us mere mortals get a natural high listening to his music.
