Here we are at the beginning to a new week!  It is like the start of a book.  Ideas of what you would like to happen are laid out before you.  How will it end?  Will it be as you planned or will surprises await you?  I love surprises!  Don't you? 

Here are a few quotations to start your week.  I hope they bring you some inspriation.

"Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glit of light on broken glass." - Anton Chekhov

"I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination." - Jimmy Dean

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.  Live the life you have imagined." - Henry David Thoreau

"Believe in yourself and in your own voice, because there will be times in this business whn you will be the only one who does.  Take heart from the knowledge that an author with a strong voice will often have trouble at the start of his or her career because strong, distinctive voices sometimes make editors nervous.  But in the end, only the strong survive.  Readers return tiem and again to the unique, the distinctive, storytelling voice.  They may love it or they may hate it, but they do not forget it." - Jayne Ann Krentz

"Each day comes bearing its own gifts, untie the ribbons." - Ruth Anne Schabacker

I'll be checking in on you to see what gifts this week brings you.  Have a great week!
