Revised from 2014
I have always loved to read and journal. I guess this comes from parents as educators. As a child, I wrote in diaries and I continue to share my thoughts, feelings, desires. I look at life as a laboratory where you create, make mistakes, learn from them and start again. I love quotes because they are a brief way of inspiration, telling a story, or otherwise making you pause and reflect on the message. I hope you enjoy this collection from some of my favorite quotes. Maybe some of them can become your favorites too.
