Hello all! I've been abundantly blessed by my virtual coffee chats with so many of you in this wonderful forum on Books and Literature! (The Relationship forum is fun too, but this is where inspiration comes from... "the stuff dreams are made of" )
Anyways... We all have favorite quotes, quotes that have touched a chord in our hearts and minds, quotes that have influenced our decisions, inspired us to go that extra mile, give us courage to face the day, and shown us what real living is like.
Lets share these divine inspirations with our little world here - on this little posting. I'll start with one of my all-time favorites....
Being a star-gazer myself and being the proud owner of a tempestuous personal history, this is one of my favorites - it reminds me that no matter what is swirling around me at a given time, I can get through it.
"The most tempestuous wind cannot disturb the quiet of the stars."
Literary wishes and Shakespearean dreams,

We open our hearts without fear in order to love
We open our souls without fear in order to trust
We open our minds without fear in order to learn
We open our hands without fear in order to provide a gentle touch
May we continue to do all of this - without fear, even when hurt finds a place to call home.
Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, it is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver. ~Jack Handey

I may have put this one on here before, but today, this is for my Alty-girl.
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. ~Henri Nouwen
"All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,"- Shakespeare
No one can make you feel inferior without your permission.....not sure of source but I believe Elenor Roosevelt. It knocks the wind out of victim consciousness in my life when I remember it. I also love the quote by Terry Cole-Whitaker in one of her books about....may be paraphrasing..."Your opinion of me is none of my business."
