Quotes

“Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu, When someone smiled at me today, l started smiling too. I passed around the corner, and someone saw my grin, When he smiled l realized, l’d passed it onto him. l thought about that smile, then l realized it’s worth. A single smile, just like mine could travel round the earth. So, if you feel a smile begin, don’t leave it undetected, let’s start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected!” ~ Author Unknown

“The clearest way into the Universe is through a Forest Wilderness.” ~ John Muir

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” ~ Viktor E. Frankl

“It's about time you admitted that you are a miraculous work of art. You came into this world as a radiant bundle of exuberant riddles. You slipped into this dimension as a shimmering burst of spiral hallelujahs. You blasted into this realm as a lush explosion of ecstatic gratitude. And it is your birthright to fulfill those promises.” ~ Rob Brezsny

“Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel."
