Every single day do something that makes your heart sing.” Marcia Wieder “For everyone, well-being is a journey…the secret is committing to that journey and taking those first steps with hope and belief in yourself.” Deepak Chopra “It’s not what we do once in awhile that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.” Unknown? “A year from now you will have wished that you started today.” “Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.” Warren Buffett “You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily.

READINGS: “Inner peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions.” Pema Chodron “When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help.” Thich Nhat Hanh “Not everyone thinks the way you think, knows the things you know, believes the things you believe, nor acts the way you would act. Remember this and you will go a long way in getting along with people.” Arthur Forman “People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they have not communicated with each other.” Martin Luther King Jr. “Raise your words not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” Rumi “Every time you find some humor in a situation you win.” Snoopy
