• Refresh. There is more to life than deadlines and due dates. Sometimes life is about deep breaths, hot baths, good friends and one more spin on the merry-go-round. Find the balance. Make time to dream, it's the beginning of goals. Make time to laugh, it's the music of life. Make time to play, it keeps you creative.

• Moxie. It's a street smart spirit that's as old as recorded history and as new as the rising sun. David had it; Goliath didn't. It's that intangible tangible.

• Friend. What a gift - kindred spirit, one in a million - who can explain it? Someone who knows what we're going through. Someone who cares, in good times or bad.

• Creativity is maximized when your living in the moment.

• I'd rather be a could-be if i cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might-have-been has never been, but a has-been was once an are.

• Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances. - Benjamin Franklin

• Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are all powerful beyond measure, it is our light not our darkness that most frightened us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented,fabulous? Actually, who are we not to be? You are a child of God, your playing small does not serve the world, there is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't  feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do, we were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us, its in everyone and as we let  our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.  - Nelson Mandela
