Below you will find some thoughts by interesting women who inspire me.
You have not lived a perfect day
unless you've done something for someone
who will never be able to repay you.
~ Ruth Smeltzer ~
Our deepest wishes are whispers of our authentic selves.
We must learn to respect them. We must learn to listen.
~ Sarah Ban Breathnach ~
Your own words are the bricks and mortar
of the dreams you want to realize.
Your words are the greatest power you have.
The words you choose and their use establish the life you experience.
~ Sonia Croquette ~
People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed
only if there is a light from within.
~ Elizabeth Kübler-Ross ~
Look at everything as though you were
seeing it either for the first or last time.
Then your time on earth will be filled with glory.
~ Betty Smith ~
