Audrey Hepburns Beauty tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry

For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and one for helping others.

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."
— Dr. Seuss

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck
(written after she found out she was dying from cancer).

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage

I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, 'Later.. Now go get washed up for dinner.' There would have been more 'I love you's ' More 'I'm sorry's.'

But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute.look at it and really see it . live it and never give it back. STOP SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF!!!

Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what
Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.

The Call

Song From The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian
By: Regina Spektor



It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before

All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

Akeelah and the Bee quote

movie quote from Akeelah and the Bee

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness which frightens us. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world, there is nothing enlightening about shrinking so other people don’t feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine as children do, it’s not just in some of us, its in everyone. And as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. "……[quoting Marianne Williamson)

Hebrews 10:32, 35

Fight the good fight of affliction

Great fight of Affliction

"I wish to encourage every one of you today
regarding opposition that so often comes after
enlightened decisions have been made, after
moments of revelation and conviction have
given us a peace and an assurance we thought
we would never lose.In his letter to the
Hebrews, the Apostle Paul was trying to
encourage new members who had just joined
the Church, who undoubtedly had had
spiritual experiences and had received the pure
light of testimony, only to discover that not
only had their troubles not ended, but that
some of them had only begun.
Paul pled with those new members
the way President Hinckley is pleading with
new members today. The reminder is that we
cannot sign on for a moment of such eternal
significance and everlasting consequence with-
out knowing it will be a fight—a good fight
and a winning fight, but a fight nevertheless.
Paul said to those who thought a new testi-
mony, a personal conversion, or a spiritual
baptismal experience would put them beyond
trouble, “Call to remembrance the former days,
in which, after ye were illuminated,ye endured
a great fight of afflictions”--- Jeffrey Holland
