Quotes

I use these ideas. I didn't come up with all of these, some of them, yes. I've listed the author whenever I've had that information. I like to go to the space these positive affirmations suggest.  They serve as a reminder of what I should be thinking and doing - like a mantra of sorts. I surprise myself how many times the same quotes pop into my head or how many times I find myself sharing them with others in conversation. Please enjoy and suggest your favs or others in the comments section below...
