“Elegance is a radiant inner peace.

Grace is the ability to give, receive, and be grateful.

Mystery is a hidden laugh always ready to surface!

Glamour only radiates if there is sublime courage 

and bravery within: glamour is like the moon; 

it only shines because the sun is there.”

~ C. JoyBell C. ~

“Every choice has a consequence.

Once you make a decision,

you must take responsibility for it.

You cannot escape the consequences

of your choices, whether you like them or not.”

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

“The best way to feel desperation is 

to leverage it and do something. 

Don't wait for good things to happen to you. 

If you sell and have success, you will fill 

the world with hope, 

and you will fill yourself with hope.”

~ Barack Obama ~

"She must follow her own path.

And we must accept that, on her journey,

we may not be the heroes destined to save her,

but simply the guides destined to walk beside her.

To love her throughout the entire process.

That is the true price of friendship."

~ Nicole Conway ~

"My friends, love is better than anger. 

Hope is better than fear. 

Optimism is better than despair. 

So let us be loving, hopeful, and optimistic. 

And we will change the world."

~ Jack Layton ~

"Of all our feelings, 

the only one that doesn't 

truly belong to us is hope. 

Hope belongs to life; 

it is life itself defending itself."

~ Julio Cortázar ~

“We cannot be afraid of change. 

You may feel very safe in the pond you're in, 

but if you never venture out of it, you'll never know 

that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. 

Clinging to something that suits you now may be 

the reason you don't have something better.”

~ C. JoyBell C. ~

“It is our wounds that create

within us the desire to achieve miracles.

The realization of such miracles depends

on whether we let our wounds drag us down

or lift us up toward our dreams.”

~ Jocelyn Soriano ~
