"INSPIRATION"
"Truly inspired people never need to be known; for it's through self-forgetting that anyone has ever been best remembered."

Life is coming together for me
My Emotions are smoothing out
I am and will accept things I can't change
Nor do anything about
Now when I look into the mirror
I'm beginning to like what I see
A beautiful older woman
"WOW," That WOMAN IS ME!
A few more little wrinkles
Tells the story of my Life (and what a Story it is)
Finally, I've seen and feel the Beauty
Now, it won't cause me to battle or question myself again.
My Heart remains the same (Big) and
It could Never Change, because
Inside it's Beautiful and pure with
No More Tears to Fall like Rain.
This little journey called life that I have taken,
Has been like being on a roller coasters ride,
But through it all, I have learned to
ACCEPT, APPRECIATE & ENJOY LIFE.
Today I have a few more wrinkles,
Thanking God for every single one.
He's given me strength and courage
To Age with Pride and Grace.
God has given me all that one can ask for,
I am forever grateful for the lessons learned,
For the lives that I have touched and
For all the Love that has entered into my Heart,
For my Beautiful Family and
Incredible Friends!
So, when you see me SMILE,
You know that I am Blessed and Thankful.

"Sometimes it is the very thing that you think has damaged or ruined your life that actually sparks your flame and sets you free from the bondage of your past belief systems and from the cycle of nothingness that you lived in just before this event. Instead of harming you the happening has given you a new life a new beginning and another chance to get it right! Now you can live with true meaning and purpose!"

I think this can really help people out who have had bad times or a tragedy in their lives. It may help people think about how to succeed despite failures and problems. The quote brings reality to light and in essence gives freedom to people who are trapped in the past!

"Angels are so abundant in heaven that God had to send down some to stay on earth. You might not see the wings and the halos but you've certainly see the acts. Someone's also watching you. Why not be an angel yourself?"

It gives me bliss to see another smiling; for he who smiles before you is the one who will make you smile on the day after.

"Inhabit your own soul and your own destiny. Where your fears lie and there is no retreat, that is where you should be in your moments of greatness. You will find yourself, your true being on that edge, the edge of the abyss and when you jump in you will find that you will either fly or fall into a pool of ecstasy. Either of these outcomes is an infinitely superior way to live or to die for that matter."

"Everyone complains each day about the heat, chores, failures and our insecurities though there are people dying each day who would give anything to live with heat, chores, and failures. So live your life, no matter the cost, and happiness will come when you least expect it."

"A quiet mind is all you need. All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet. As the sun on rising makes the world active, so does self-awareness affect changes in the mind. In the light of calm and steady self-awareness, inner energies wake up and work miracles without any effort on your part."
