Inspiration
I decided I would also like to share with you things that have inspired
me or have had a profound effect on my thinking. You may a see a quote,
a website, pictures and whatever else has stopped me in my tracks and
made me stop long enough to see or feel inspiration. So here goes:
Here is my quote for August 2010: Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value. A. Einstein
Nelson Mandella celebrated his birthday, July 18th. His wish was for everyone to simply "DO GOOD" one day a month and watch how our world could change. I'm taking the challenge to go out of my way to do good- every day. How about it ? Can you do it too?
Get informed,... VOTE, .....be kind at all times. Remember- We didn't inherit the past- we are borrowing from our future.
Remember the turmoil and chaos in our world is caused by unhappy people. Pray for Peace, Wish for Peace, Want for Peace, Work for Peace- Peace is needed by our world.
My folks noticed one of my Necklaces on a newscaster for Channel 8 (ABC). I contacted the gallery that I had consigned it to and waa laa- IT IS MY DESIGN ! Pretty cool huh! and she has become a regular customer- 5 pieces !
Favorite Quotes:
Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% how you respond.
"When the student is ready, the Master appears." (Buddhist proverb)
It is good to have an END to a journey: but it is the journey that matters, in the END. Ursula k. Le Guin
"It's not what you are that holds you back; it's what you think you are not". by:Denis Waitley
"Be the Change you Wish to See in the World". gandhi From what we get, we make a living; what we give however; makes a life.
This quote will make you want to hug your kids,
grandkids, and all the kids you love.... "What a child doesn't receive he can seldom later give." P.D. James
I heard this quote on "survivor" - Yes, I like that goofy show:
Love Many, Do Harm to None....Trust Few.
"If you love rainbows.... you have to put up with the rain".
Dolly Parton
(from a youth hostel wall in India)
"Youth isn't a time of life, it's a state of mind. (It's) a
predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure
over the love of ease. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may
wrinkle one's skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles one's soul
! As long as one's heart receives messages of beauty, hope,
cheer, courage and power from others and the infinite, so long one is
young. When one's spirit is covered by the snows of cynicism and the
ice of pessimism, then one has grown old."
These are my favorite websites:
