"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, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. 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." -Mariane Williamson

My songs will pass and be forgotten.
What counts, however, is that I sang them. - Andrew Greeley

love is the voice under all silences,
the hope which has no opposite in fear;
the strength so strong mere force is feebleness;
the truth more first than sun,
more last than star. e.e.cummings.

The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.
Thomas Moore, Irish Poet

May you always have walls for the winds, a roof for the rain, and tea beside the fire, laughter to cheer you, those you love near you, and all that your heart may desire. Irish Proverb

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant.- Robert Louis Stevenson

All these expanding leaves and flower buds are much more beautiful in the rain, covered with clear drops. They who do not walk in the rain never behold them in their freshest and most radiant beauty. Henry David Thoreau

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect, but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves. Carl Jung

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. Author Unknown

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm. Henry David Thoreau

Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for? Robert Browning

Happiness keeps You Sweet,_ Trials keep You Strong,_ Sorrows keep You Human,_ Failures keeps You Humble,_ Success keeps You Glowing,_ But your friends keep You Going

Some people come into our lives and go quickly.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to a new understanding with
the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for a while,
leave footprints in our hearts,
and we are never, ever, the same.
