"What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?" it's on a paperweight on my desk and has been for YEARS.


Love this one. It too is in my office to remind me to be the best person I can be each and every day and not get caught up in senseless gossip.

“Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.” Marie Curie


I found this quote 5 years ago. It struck me so deeply that I had to know more about her.I spent the next two days reading....She was truly an incredible woman.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
Helen Keller

Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.
William Shakespeare


The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past, and recognize that every day won't be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember, it's only in the black of night that you see the stars, and those stars lead you back home.

Life is nottaking shelter from the storm, but learning to dance in the rain.

I came across this and had to have it for my wall and now my daughter wants one for the back window of her car.
