Friday Quote Day...

 

The lotus... 

The most symbolic flower... 

Rooted in mud, growing towards sunshine, rises a perfect bloom untarnished by the muck surrounding it.

Pretty in PINK…

“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.” 
— Audrey Hepburn

Friday Quote Day...

This week I learned a very important lesson about my moral code & what exactly I can tolerate from other individuals.  Being a professional young woman has definitely had it's tests in the past & i've learned to grin & bear it, but at what point is disrespect too much to ignore?  Don't let anyone make you feel ashamed, humiliated, or belittled.  

If you don't respect yourself, no one else will…

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”

What is more mortifying than to feel that you have missed the plum for want of courage to shake the tree? – Logan Pearsall Smith

The only regrets I fear in life are the "what if's".  

Speak up about how you feel, take chances & seize every opportunity.

Not really a quote but one of my favorite poems ever… Whenever I need some strength or inspiration, this always does the trick.  

Quote of the Week

Friday Quote Day

I'm aware that it's only Thursday, but I love this quote so much I just couldn't wait another minute to post it.  This is my exact outlook on love, just I could never quite say it so beautifully.  Life is so serious… love should make you giggle :)

Friday Quote Day

"Keep away from people that belittle your ambitions.  Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too, can become great.  When you are seeking to bring plans to fruition, it is important with whom you regularly associate.  Hang out with friends who are like minded and who are also designing purpose-filled lives.  Similarly be that kind of a friend to your friends"

 - Mark Twain

It's just that kind of day…

LOVE?

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two." 

— St. Augustine of Hippo
