Monday Morning Mantra - 5/11

Hi there!

Happy Monday! I hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day Weekend. My sister and I treated my mom to lunch in Fredericksburg, and enjoyed the gorgeous weather. Riss surprised me with a big card and some coupons for me to redeem (i.e. "Riss will help cook," "Riss will clean her room," etc.). Very cute.

Here is our mantra for the week:

"Fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life, and the procedure, the process is its own reward."

-- Amelia Earhart

This week, don't let "paper tigers" get in the way of your dreams.

Wednesday Afternoon Mantra! 01/21

Hi all,

What a weekend! I guess it's obvious why the Monday Morning Mantra is coming on Wednesday. I've been glued to the TV watching first the "Eyes on the Prize" marathon on PBS documenting the Civil Rights Movement on Monday and then the events of a truly historic day on Tuesday. Please forgive me!

I thought it would be fitting to quote from President Obama's inaugural speech yesterday to inspire us this week - and this year:

"We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness." -- President Barack H. Obama

It's up to us to make our lives - and this country - what we want it to be. No more looking to other people to solve our problems or to help us up. We have the power to make a difference and to make history.

Happy Wednesday, guys.

Okay, so today is technically my Monday since I had yesterday off. I hope all of you did as well since we all need a break! If not, please forgive me for posting the Monday Morning Mantra on Tuesday!

"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will
turn." ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe

Have a great week!
