Quotes for all time

I just received a fantastic gift, "Cheatnotes on Life: Lessons from the Classroom of Life!" by my dear friend Donna Pinto (she was Blaurock back when the book was published). Donna wrote the book, pulling quotes from famous folks and making up her own to speak to the new college graduate. I'm way past college graduation but I found the messages inspiring in many ways.

Reading through them brought back to the surface a long held memory of my friends and I pasting our own quotes on our college dorm doors. The one I can't shake -"That's not jelly, that's jam"- was usually said when a particularly fine male specimen walked into sight. "Jam" became code amongst us. I think I'll start using it again!

Fom Donn's work, the timelessness of Dr. Seuss is right on target:

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose."

I'm taking hold of the wheel now....

Been Awhile

I've been overwhelmed and undermotivated. I stepped off the wheel long enough to see how fast it was spinning. Now I've got a pace and am hitting my stride...thanks to all the Mamas who inspire me.
