| I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit. ~Dawna Markova |

| Seek not outside yourself, heaven is within. ~Mary Lou Cook |
|
| May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. |
| For it is in the dew of little things that the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. ~Kahlil Gibran |

| Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightening about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others. ~Nelson mandela |

| Be beautiful if you can, wise if you want to... But be respected -- that is essential. ~Anna Gould |
|
| I'm not nearly as afraid of dying as I am of the hinges inside my mind and soul rusting closed. I am desperate to keep them open, because I think that if they close, that's one's first death, the loss of hope, curiosity, and possibility, the spiritual death. After that, it seems to me, the second one is just a formality. ~Jon Katz |
|
| I am personally convinced that one person can be a change catalyst, a "transformer" in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence, courage, and faith to be a transforming leader. ~Stephen R. Covey |
|
| Trust in the Lord with all your heart And lean not on your own understanding In all your ways acknowledge Him And He shall direct your paths. ~ Proverbs 3:5-6 |
|
| Let us be grateful to people who make us happy: They are the charming blessings who make our souls blossom. |
|
| One sees that dead, vacant look steal over the rarest, finest of women's faces... in the very midst, it may be, of their warmest summer's day; and then one can guess at the secret of intolerable solitude that lies hid beneath the delicate laces... ~Rebecca Harding Davis |
|
| When things don't seem to go my way, I let go of how I think things should be and trust that I don't know the big picture. ~Deepak Chopra |
|
| A poet is a nightingale who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds. ~Percy B. Shelly (1792-1822) |
|
| Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't. ~Margaret Thatcher |
|
| I long to accomplish a great and noble task; but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble. ~Helen Keller |
|
| Out beyond the ideas of right-doing or wrong-doing there is a field -- I'll meet you there, and we will talk . . . |
|
| The highest courage is to dare to appear to be what one is. ~John Lancaster Spalding |
|
| If you want your life to be a magnificent story, then begin by realizing that you are the author and everyday you have the opportunity to write a new page. |
