Maya Angelou


Below is one of my ultimate favorite quotes from Maya Angelou.  It’s a “call to action” trumpet of words that I’m so fond of posting.  So, here it is.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

“What is a fear of living? It's being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself - for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don't know what you're here to do, then just do some good.”

Ocean Thoughts


Although it is snowing today, my thoughts seem to be drifting towards the warm, sunny sky and the crashing waves on the beach’s shore.  Wishful thinking, right?  However, as I thought of this, a familiar JFK quote popped into my brain and I knew it would make good blogging material.  And so, here it is…Wisdom from President Kennedy, so many years ago.

Enjoy the snow!

“We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came.”

John F. Kennedy

Strong and Active Faith


"The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith."
Prepared for April 13, 1945

Even though President Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote this about seventy years ago, it still speaks to every one of us today.  If we free ourselves of the doubts we have and proceed with unwavering strength, we can accomplish more than we ever dreamed possible.  I return to this quote time and time again whenever I need bolstered and thought this was fitting for today’s post.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

A Lesson of Success


Today, I read this quote and it uplifted my spirits somehow.  It reminded me that we have control of our own destiny and it is what we make of it.  I hope reading this has the same effect on you as it did me.

 “People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.”

Tony Robbins

Have a great weekend, everyone!
