Favorite Quotes

It is no secret that I LOVE quotes. It would be really hard for me to pick one or two favorites . . . because there are so many that I really like.  So here are a few of my favorites.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial  into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.

When you realize there is nothing lacking the whole world belongs to you. ~ Lao Tzu

 

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is. ~ Mary Anne Radmacher
