When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. ~Harriet Beecher Stow

Keep Believing
“When you come to the edge of all the light you have, and must take a step into the darkness of the unknown believe that one of two things will happen. Either there will be something solid for you to stand on or you will be taught how to fly. ” Patrick Overton
Funny how life works when we decide to be ourselves
Be Yourself
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment” Ralph Waldo Emerson
When there seems to be no Hope
“Most of the important things in the world were accomplished by people who have kept trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” Dale Carnegie
Today’s Thought: Reward of working hard
“The highest reward for man’s toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it.” John Ruskin
Why do we love our Pets so much?
Pets give us unconditional love, loyalty, and companionship. If they could, they would fight for us, protect us and they are always there for us. Everyone needs to feel loved, valued, and that we matter. We need security, companionship and a sense of belonging. Animals give us all of this and ask for nothing in return except to be in our lives. They don’t care what we look like, how much money we have, or if we’re prestigious in the eyes of the world. If we’re gone all day, they are ecstatic to see us when we get home. They make us feel happy. They genuinely love us for who we are. They are not filled with the lower human emotions. These precious little creatures could teach the human race a lot about what matters in life. I hope you all have a pet or two or more and that you treat them with the utmost of the love and respect they deserve.
Happy Easter
Today’s Thought: Living Life
“Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. Know when to let go and when to hold on tight. Stop rushing. Don’t be intimidated to say it like it is. Stop apologizing all the time. Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. Spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. Stop giving your power away. Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. Be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it. Finally know who you are. ”
Kristin Armstrong
Today’s Thought: What If
We all have a life story we were meant to write, instead we feel forced to write another.
We all had dreams we were going to bring to life, instead we feel trapped in circumstances.
We breath short breaths. We bare our heads low and our bodies surrendered. We believe there is no other way….
What if….there was a pen right next to you.
What if you were given a brand new pad to write on.
What if with one simple sentence you can think yourself to a new beginning?
Would you dare to start writing?
