I am her.

Who is she?

She is a daughter. She is a best friend.

She is a pocketful of light. She is a spark of

something good, getting brighter; a dream grown

large; the right thing at the right time.

She is a dancer, a singer, a thinker, a 

truth-teller. A connoisseur of all things this

wide world has to offer. Her spirit is the

first thing people notice. Her mind always had 

a mind of its own. Her heart, though it has

sometimes been hurt, bears a strong resemblance

to a daffodil: it always flowers again. 

So she wakes with anticipations. She

finds new hills to climb. And everyone agrees

that the very fact of her in the world means

there is still so much good to come.

Who is she? She is me. She is you. 

I am her.

"the time is always right to do the right thing"

"if you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk,

if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do 

you have to keep moving forward"

The journey between

what you once were and

who you are now becoming

is where the dance of

life really takes place.

Barbara DeAngelis

go for long walks

indulge in hot baths

question your assumptions

be kind to yourself

live for the moment

loosen up

scream

curse the world

count your blessings

just let go

just be

-carol shields

look to this day for it is life.

in its brief course lie all

the realities and truths of existence,

the joy of growth, the glory of action,

the splendor of beauty...

today well lived makes every

yesterday a memory of happiness

and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

look well, therefore, to this day...

-ancient sanskrit proverb

" the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. these persons have a appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. beautiful people do not just happen. "

-elizabeth kubler ros

"i believe that everything happens for a reason. people change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

-marilyn monroe

she is so wise

"happiness can be found, even in the

darkest of times, if one only remembers

to turn on the light"

-albus dumbledore

good things to come

“Don’t you quit. You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead. Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven. But for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ,they come. It will be all right in the end. Trust God and believe in good things to come."

-jeffrey r. holland

letting go doesn't mean giving up

but rather accepting that there are

things that cannot be

Modest is Hottest, Ladies.

"I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that. Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I’ve got?’ My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder.

- Emma Watson

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

- Mark Twain
