inspirational aides

On my mirror i have 2 full size sheets of paper with both of these, recently, i shared both these, once with a co-worker for her and her daughter, and the other with my son, i change the feminine words to masculine words for him. They are both inspirational to me, and something i needed!

Terry once told me:
Go in with a purpose no excuses, no shame and no frustration!!! onward and upward- every day is a new opportunity to do something cool. Here's an idea- say to yourself 1 thing that your proud of doing! Repeat it- write it down- say it!

On facebook i found
look in the mirror... go on. Take a really good look. She's still there. You know- the woman in you who DOESN'T give up; the one who's brave even when she's afraid.
*
The one who smiles through her tears and knows deep within that everything WILL be OK as long as she keeps believing in that beautiful woman staring back at her.
