Quote Left Some people say, 'sleep is like death'. So if you're reading this, consider yourself resurrected this morning. Today you have the opportunity to start all over again, or continue on that positive path with renewed commitment, confidence, enthusiasm, energy and zest. Now take a deep breath of life and extend gratitude for one more day. Quote Right

Quote Left Life can push against you hard and sometimes one can become disenchanted and disengaged with one's dream but, no matter what life throws at you, never surrender your hopes and dreams. Keep a steady push forward, even if you have not yet seen that little light at the end of the tunnel, never give in because change is coming. Maybe the next 5, 10 minutes, maybe later on today, maybe tomorrow, next week, next month, even next year. Change is inevitable, change must come Quote Right

Quote Left You're one of the strongest women I am blessed to know. You're like a cat with many lives, always bouncing back. You have carried loads of people on your back across the river........You are unbelievable.......you have lost a lot but look how much you've gained.....you're invincible. Quote Right

Quote Left When you're at that episode of your life, when you have lost the strength and the desire to take another step, when death brushes your heels and friends and family betray you, when the reflection in the mirror frightens you, when you think it's the end of the road; stop, think, you have the power in you to bounce back, you are fortified with inner strength to resist, fight back and win. Take courage, today is not the day to give up on your dream. Quote Right

Quote Left Just as a lizard sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again. Shake it loose and move on. Or be forever entangled in it. Quote Right
