Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.

“All minds quote. Old and new make the warp and woof of every moment. There is no thread that is not a twist of these two strands.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
the inspiration:
It is no secret that I love the 26 humble letters that make up our alphabet.
I love the sounds they make on the tongue,
the curve of their shape in my own handwriting,
the words they make in perfect combinations
and the sentences, paragraphs, poems, books and thoughts they have inspired throughout generations.
I invite you to follow me as I gain inspiration from those who have said it best and, in turn, share it with you.
These are the quotes that I think are worth repeating.
