The first step is admitting you have a problem

I’m a girl who likes affirmative and empowering sayings. There, I’ve said it. It’s out there in the ether, even worse, it’s out there on the Internet.

I’m such a sucker for the pithy to the point one or two lines that sum up things. Every once in a while a saying will hit me right in the chest and make me sit up and say, “Wow, that’s exactly it.” We all sometimes think we’ve got it wrong and seeing words we may never have been able to put together ourselves hit the mark and tell us something we recognize as the truth can take away our breath.

Here are a few of my favorites.

It is never too late to be what you might have been.

Now, a drum roll, please, for my all time favorite.

I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me.
Ana Quindlen

And just for fun........

As much as I try to be an easygoing, stretch your wings and fly type...I just can’t stop trying to burst people into flames with my mind.
