"Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it."

Welcome all to the Quote of the Week where wisdom of the ages is styled just for you!!!! First thing first though...
The Word of the Year Update...
As you know, I have followed Christine Kane's suggestion to pick a word or words that would guide us throughout the year (instead of making resolutions that we don't keep). This year my word is Synchronicity. Here is a list of words that some Quote of the Week members have chosen...
Chad's word is DEDICATION
Amy is going with FOCUS
David says he wants to SURRENDER
Debbie's word is APPRECIATE (As in 2, 4, 6, 8 who do we....)
Toni likes the word GRACE
Carolyn's is JOY
Ed's word(s) EXCELLENT HEALTH
BE PRESENT is Christopher's
And Stephanie is going creative with a phrase and an image...
Have you chosen your word yet? If so, email it in and share with our Quote of the Week community!

And now for the Quote of the Week (It has something to do with my word for the year)...
“Almost all the people who’ve had the most effect on me I seem to have met by chance, yet looking back it seems as though I couldn’t but have met them.”
William Somerset Maugham
__________
A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...
"The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life."
Robert Louis Stevenson

Wishing you a most BEAUTIFUL day, wherever this may find you!

It is time for the The Word for the Year!
Over the past several years I wrote about the difficulties of keeping my well intention-ed New Year's Resolutions and thanks to a to a blog by Kristine Kane, I now choose a word or number
for the upcoming year that hopefully will inspire me on what I want "TO BE" as opposed to what I need "TO DO".
In the past my words have been: Expand, Gratitude, Possibilities, Openess, Memento Mori, Grace, and last year it was a number, 525,600 (which represents the number of minutes we have in a year).
My 2014 Word for the Year was inspired by last week's quote and is Synchronicity! My intention is to keep that word in mind over the course of the year to be more open to those mysteries of chance encounters or those improbable , yet meaningful events.
