Maria's Favorite Quotes

"There's no better eraser than a good nights sleep".
-- Author Unknown
-- wise words to me from my late father.

“Perfection leaves so little room for improvement. So little space for acceptance -- or joy. ...Start thinking of yourself as an artist and your life as a work-in-progress. Works-in-progress are never perfect. But changes can be made...Art evolves. So does life. Art is never stagnant. Neither is life. The beautiful, authentic life you are creating for yourself is your art. It's the highest art.”
-- Sarah Ban Breathnach

"It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It is the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance. It is the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give. And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live".
-- Bette Midler

"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul ... and sings the tune without words and nver stops ... at all. To be without hopes and dreams is a place of loss ... loss of our birthright as a human being. Hope does spring and sing eternal, even though we may have wax in our ears".
-- Emily Dickinson

Follow Your Heart:

No matter how deep a study you make, what you really have to rely on his your own intuition and when it comes down to it, you really don't know what's going to happen until you do it.
-- Konosuke Matsushita

Thank you, Great Spirit, for the gift of laughter;
for the people who bring me joy,
for the comedy that makes me forget,
if only for a moment.

Thank you for the gift of creativity,
for artists,
whose work takes me out of the sadness
and into a kinder place.

Thank you for the gift of compassion,
and the joy of forgiveness.

-- Catherine Fenwick

Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence.
Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear.
Perhaps the action you take will be successful;
perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow.
But any action is better than no action at all.
-- Norman Vincent Peale

"And we will be in tune with our bodies only if we truly love and honor them".
-- Harriet Lerner, Ph.D in 'The Dance of Deception'

What in your life is calling you?
When all the noise is silenced,
The meetings adjourned,
The lists laid aside,
And the wild iris blooms by itself
To the dark forest,
What still pulls on your soul?
-- Terma Collective in Sacred Cirles (Robin Carnes & Sally Craig).

"The greatest discovery of my time is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind."
-- William James

"I want you to get excited about who you are, what you are, and what you have and what can still be for you. I want to inspire you to see that you can go far beyond where you are right now".
-- Tina H. Thrussell

Until we do the work of excavating, claiming, and owning our own life stories, we run the very real risk of seeing ourselves, describing ourselves, and proscribing ourselves as others see fit.
-- Julia Cameron in the Vein of Gold
