Please enjoy these quotes about Waving from my collection of quotes and sayings.

but always in the experience which is going on around me.

for all God's creatures - large and small,

for the touch of a hand and the whispered "I love you."

You're so shallow.

choose to take "pay it forward" farther - much farther.

If you listen, you will hear the music.

Strain to hear the song of angels.
Listen to the melody within your soul.

There is nobody in this country who got rich on their own. Nobody. You built a factory out there - good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory... Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God bless! Keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along."
- Elizabeth Warren

We may not always be aware of it, but we all create
and repeat affirmations constantly.
The problem is, we typically don't pay attention
to exactly what those affirmations are saying.
Often we go through the day giving ourselves
all sorts of contradictory, or even negative messages.
We may project confidence to the world around us,
while our inner dialogue says...
I hope this works.
I am so nervous about this.
I hope I don't blow it.
Affirmations are self fulfilling prophecies.
If we say, This is never going to work
... then chances are excellent it never will.
- John Assaraf

I am drawn to the wild edge of the ocean of my being
My curiosity unbound, I test the limits

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
I think, at a child's birth,
if a mother could ask a fairy godmother

What will your legacy be?
What will your great-grandchildren be told about you?

What can you do today to help create that world?

is now in my life causes an ever greater abundance
