Inspiration

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone." - Audrey Hepburn "The whole worth of a kind deed lies in the love that inspires it." - The Talmud "Believe that you are far more wonderful than you ever dared to imagine. . . . because you are. Believe that you can be more than you have ever dreamed of . . . . because you can. Believe that you have more courage than you can see. . . . because you do. Believe that you are stronger than your fears have allowed you know. . . . because you are. Believe that you can love more fully than you ever thought. . . because you are able to. Believe that you are truly more unique and special than you have ever allowed yourself to acknowledge...because you really are. Believe it . . . if it's the last thing you do. Believe it. . . because its true." - Sue Mitchel

"Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing." ~ Mother Teresa ~

"Thoughts lead to purposes. Purposes go forth in action. Actions form habits. Habits decide character. And character fixes our destiny." - Tryon Edwards "My desire to be well - both emotionally and physically - for my husband, children, family, and friends drives me to run. It has been my most important form of rehabilitation." - Lynda Nijensohn, runner who trained for a marathon while undergoing breast cancer treatment "Every morning a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or gazelle - when the sun comes up, you better be running." - African Proverb "Once you choose hope, anything's possible." - Christopher Reeves Every blade of grass has an angel that bends over it and whispers "Grow, grow." - The Talmud
