It's worth taking the time to find 

the things that truly move you. 

That's what makes you feel alive. 

You have to say 'no' to other things you're 

used to, and do it with all your heart.

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

“Elegance is a radiant inner peace.

Grace is the capacity to give,

as well as to 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 ~

We are who we are, neither as good 

nor as bad as we're made out to be. 

And who we are doesn't change 

how we truly feel, only our freedom 

to follow those feelings.

~ Melissa Marr ~

No matter what happens, 

in most cases there is a way forward. 

Move forward by assessing the facts, 

with a vision of the ideal outcome in mind. 

Act with kindness, consideration, and care. 

And if there isn't a way yet, 

it's time to forge one.

~ Grace Gibraltar ~

“Hope is a psychological mechanism

that is unaffected by external realities.”

~ Gene Wolfe ~

You weren't born to please anyone; 

you have to live life to express yourself, 

not to impress anyone. 

Don't pretend to be someone you're not, 

and never lose yourself seeking 

the acceptance and approval of others.

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

Don't let the memories of your past 

limit the potential of your future. 

There are no limits to what you can 

achieve on your journey through life, 

except in your mind.

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

Endings aren't bad; they just mean something 

else is about to begin. 

And many things don't really end; 

they simply begin again in a new way. 

Endings aren't bad, and many endings 

aren't really endings; 

some things are eternal.

~ C. JoyBell ~
