Nothing in single life is as bad as a bad marriage.

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."

~ Unknown

"The muse is not an angelic voice that sits on your shoulder and sings sweetly.
The muse is the most annoying whine. The muse isn't hard to find, just hard to like -
she follows you everywhere, tapping you on the shoulder, demanding that you stop doing whatever else you might be doing and pay attention to her. "

 ~ Harlan Coben

A Reflection ~

Author unknown....

“It happens like this.

"One day you meet someone and for some inexplicable reason,
you feel more connected to this stranger than anyone else--closer
to them than your closest family. Perhaps this person carries within
them an angel--one sent to you for some higher purpose; to teach
you an important lesson or to keep you safe during a perilous time.
What you must do is trust in them--even if they come hand in hand
with pain or suffering--the reason for their presence will become
clear in due time."

 Though here is a word of warning--you may grow to love this person
but remember they are not yours to keep. Their purpose isn't to save
you but to show you how to save yourself. And once this is fulfilled;
the halo lifts and the angel leaves their body as the person exits
your life. They will be a stranger to you once more.

Wow, now that is profound. @cotton4me, tahnk you so much for sharing that quote.  @HappyDaze and @Drythe, I think you both would enjoy this thread.

That literally just shifted my perspective and as the quote I I just share in the post above your reads: 

   When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

Oprah shared Maya's quote on her show and I have repeated it thousands of times until I think it has finally penetrated my being.

Miracles happen everyday, change your perception of what a miracle is and you'll see them all around you.

Map out your future - but do it in pencil. The road ahead is as long as you make it. Make it worth the trip.

Don't get too comfortable with who you are at any given time - you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be.

Passion + persistence = possibilities

Live your life in such a way that the Westboro Baptist Church will want to picket your funeral.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

When you know better, do better.

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Be the kind of woman that when your feet
hit the floor each morning the devil says,
"Oh ******, She's up!"
