Every one has a gift for something, even if it is the gift of being a good friend. - Marian Anderson

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.

Dale Carnegie

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
Helen Keller

“If there ever comes a day when we can't be together keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever” Winner the Pooh quote

Heres another one, a quote by Antoine de St. Exupery

Love is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction.

Better to have a friend close by, than a brother faraway.

A friend is a gift you give yourself!

Jabber, I love that quote. And it is truly a gift.

You can never have too many friends!

God has not called us to see through each other, but to see each other through. ~Author Unknown

And THAT is what this forum is all about. Thank you Eagle, for the uplifting words.

Wow...that one is profound and real, Eagle...yhanks for sharing

"I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world." ~Mother Teresa

I found this little gem this morning too! Isn't that beautiful?

Eagle,
Both of those last two posts, you posted, are excellent.
I enjoyed reading them.

Keep your eyes open, you never know where you'll find surprises.

The most wasted of all days, is one without laughter!

Good one Jabber...

You hold in your hand a precious gift,
The freedom to be whoever you want to be...

And that's a good one, Chatty...

Here's a funny: "I'm knot a blonde; I'm knot. I'm knot. I'm knot!
LOL...

Aw, maybe that isn't so funny, after all! Oh well! Ya win some and ya lose some!

Being a coach, a writer AND a calligrapher, I save a LOT of good quotes. In fact, I had to laugh because I used a quote so often and thought I was quoting someone else, but it turned out to be MY original quote! Here it is:
If you don't know where you're going, you may end up in the wrong place!

I use this quote in my chapter in the upcoming book: Align, Expand and Succeed. You can read tips from the contributing authors on this website: www.consciousbusinesstips.com

I'll add some others in the coming days!

Welcome to the forums, Lianda. Please see the private message I sent to you. It will be the flashing envelope at the top. Just click on that.

Again, welcome. You'll love it here!

WELCOME Lianda, this is one of the friendliest forums on the web. Smart women and ordinary women as well as some of the funniest women live here. You will fit in nicely and have a ball. Your book sounds very interesting.

Welcome Lianda!
Love that quote, "If you don't know where you're going, you may
end up in the wrong place." And who would want to change anything that's going well??? Love it.

Welcome Lianda. Good to have you here!

I've heard something similar to your quote:
"If you don't know where you're going you are already there!"

here's one I enjoy:
You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.

Michael Pritchard

I like that Songbird. There's a lot of truth in that statement! My grandmother never stopped laughing. At age 84
she was still giggling and flirting with the men.

Songbird,
Your expression publishing ministries website is excellent.
I enjoyed the visit!

What a happy grandma!

That quote is a good reminder of how important it is to enjoy every moment and look at the bright side of life, the funny side... that we may live healthier and longer.

Thanks for your kind comment regarding my website, Jabber. I am glad you enjoyed it! Blessings to you and yours!

Both sites are very well done, Song...and you are so tiny and beautiful! Love them.

Songbird, I finally found your inspirational blog and left you a comment. Very nice, very moving...

Yes. I'd say it's a fragrance that sweetens!

I enjoyed browsing your blog. It's amazing how you've developed your ministry through the years. Isn't all of this new since you've been posting here?

Dear friends, God is amazing. Yes, a lot has happened since I first started posting on BWS. The Lord has given me the privilege of serving Him through writing, composing, singing, praying, motivating others and speaking too!

I have always a lot on my plate! Always busy... Inspiring others through the written, spoken and sung word of God. And the prayer ministry continues to grow and reach new heights. I praise the Lord for that. Never imagined His plans for my life. But I trust that He knows why.

My prayer was and continues to be: Lord, please fulfill your purpose for my life (Psalm 138:8).

Through trials and sorrows He's led me and never let me down. I trust Him. I praise Him and thank Him for the opportunity to serve in whatever way He deems best.

The encouragement found in this forum has also been instrumental in achieving God's purpose for my life. That's why, even if not so often, I always need to come back and share now and then with BWS family.

Blessings to Dotsie and each BWS member.
