I wanted this blog to be a place where I could post my thoughts, feelings, and experiences in my own words and after about 6 months, I would say I've succeeded and love doing so. But recently, I've begun to realize that so many other people in my life have some of the most amazing things to say and I ask people all the time, "May I quote you?" because just like my words, other people's words are valuable and worth writing down and repeating. These are the words that I want everyone who reads them to know, that they are valuable. 

For each of the quotes below, I will title them with a shortened topical idea of the context in which the words were spoken on. I will provide the language and medium in which the quotes were formatted, found, or translated from. 

I am a firm believer in giving credit where credit is due, so with permission (circumstances withholding), I will leave the preferred names of the speakers that they allow me to leave. And not only for other's to know the source of these words, but to remind myself and everyone else, that everyone has words of wisdom. Listen to yours, and listen to others'. Take care, Y'all. ~Enjoy
