SHARING SOME UPLIFTING AND INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHTS
Here are some short thoughts, quotations and key points (many from sources unknown) that I have collected and jotted down over the years in my "little yellow book". over the years (instead of stamps or bottle-tops) . They have "kept me on track" (at least I think so), uplifted, encouraged and even greatly inspired me along the writing journey ... and hope they may do the same for you, whatever path in life you may choose to travel. Perhaps I'll include them in a new manuscript, so will share with you. ENJOY...
