A successfull marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

Mignon McLaughlin

Well, this goes without saying but it is 100% true! How boring would it be to be with someone you are not in love with. I want to be that old couple who still holds hands in public because I have fallen in love with my husband AGAIN for like the 100th time!

Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?

Rumi

My mom used to tell me this. I wish I could say I practiced it all the time but I do strive to. Such a great quote!

She remembered who she was and the game changed

Lalah Deliah

Ladies never lose yourself. Once you do it takes years to remember how to care for yourself, love yourself for who you are and understand that it is ok to be your own person. We get so busy having careers, being a wife, a mom, etc that sometimes we forget to be ourselves. Please do not get me wrong, I love being all those things! However, I also love me. I love doing things that make me happy. This goes along with another quote, “You can’t make other people happy if you are not happy.”

Breathe, darling. This is just a chapter. It’s not your whole story.

S.C. Lourie

All I can say is take charge of your book! If you don’t like it, change it.

Well, that goes without saying!

Never stop being a good person, because of bad people.

author unknown

You will encounter some shitty people in your life. That is ok. They come for a reason. To teach you a lesson. That lesson may be how to forgive, compassion, understanding. We do not know everyone’s story. We have not walked in their shoes, so don’t let someone who treated you badly change the person you are.

One morning she woke up different. Done with trying to figure out who was with her, against her, or walking down the middle because they didn’t have the guts to pick a side. She was done with anything that didn’t bring her peace. She realized that opinions were a dime a dozen, validation was for parking, and loyalty wasn’t a word but a lifestyle. It was this day that her life changed. And not because of a man or a job but because she realized that life is way too short to leave the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket.

I have talked about this before. Your happiness is YOUR happiness. Make that shit happen yourself and enjoy the ones in your life that are happy FOR you!

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say. “I used everything you gave me.”

Erma Bombeck

Yall this is my absolute FAVORITE. I had someone ask me one time, “why do you do all the things you do, how do you find the time?” I had another person make a snide remark that you can be good at many things but only great at one! I am calling bull shit on that one! I do everything I want to do because I WANT to do it. And I believe you can master greatness at many things, not just one. So if you have a million things you want to do or try then go do it! Use what God gave you!
