True beauty isn't about the color of your hair  

or the color of your eyes.

True beauty is about who you are as a human being, 

your principles, your moral compass.

~ Ellen DeGeneres ~

“Every step forward is a story 

written in the sands of time; 

only those who dare to leave deep 

footprints create stories worth telling.”

~ Chuck Orwell ~

Don't wish me a life free of sadness or hardship,

for such a life is but a fleeting dream.

Instead, grant me the strength to face

every trial with grace, the wisdom to find meaning in

every struggle, and the humor to laugh

even when the road seems difficult.
