I visited the wonderful site that tells a story of triumph over tradgedy. I would encourage you to visit this site and get to know Barb for her story is one of hope rather than defeat!



Thank you Barb for this award.
It is an honor to know you
And to share your message of Hope

You are Worthy ?

Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Do not set your goals by what other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.
Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life,
for without them, life is meaningless.
By living in the past nor for the future.
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
Do not give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Do not be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Do not shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love;
The fastest way to lose love is too hold it too tightly;
In addition, the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Do not dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without hope;
To be without hope is to be without purpose.
Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

Creed to Live By

Somewhere out there,
There's someone who needs a smile.

Somewhere out there,
There's someone who needs a touch of your hand.

There's someone who needs a kind word.
Some understanding.
Forgiveness.
A whisper of appreciation.

Somewhere out there,
There's someone who needs something to eat.
A place out of the cold.
A pair of warm socks.

Somewhere out there,
There's a soul who needs to be remembered.
Just remembered,
Even that will do.

As you live your life from this moment to the next,
Please think about those whose paths you cross.
Even if they stand right in front of you,
Take one little step that can,
And will,
Make all the difference, in the world.
