Quotes

So! This is a little bit of a different type of post. I haven't had time to really pull together a good post recently. But I do have a love for quotes! This may be a bit silly. But I like words (hence, I blog.) and I love to reread words others have spoken or written. So I figured I would make a post of a few of my favorite quotes and a few Bible verses that I love. Those that say "~unknown" really honestly mean "It's late at night and I don't want to search for who really said that." So if you really must know the origin of a quote shoot me and email or leave a comment and I will actually look for it. hehe! :) Well! Enjoy the quotes!

"Fill your life with passion. And you will never have regrets. It’s through our hearts that we truly learn to live. It’s one thing to do and to be, but you must feel. From the core of your body to the tips of your toes. It’s about riding the bike for the first time. Heart is racing, eyelids peeled back, taking in every second. Trusting yourself. And a smile you can’t hold back. It’s through these moments that we grow. The moments when your mind is so absorbed by that instant and your heart has complete fulfillment. " - Rebecca Salisbury
