the whole world belongs to you.

Give your whole heart and soul....

Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and 

give your whole heart and soul to it.

Direct from the Smile newsletter to you...

the power to make it true.

as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, 

no matter how slight.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

This quote made me cry....

"Raise your words, not voice.  

It is rain which grows flowers, not thunder."  Rumi

Thank you...

How do you say "thank you" for sunshine or health... for clear days or gentle rains... for happiness, joy or love? 

You say it by sharing what you have.  You say it by making the world a better place in which to live.

The heart gives the brain its vision."
