Thoughts to Live By

Each rolled of assorted colored papers has inspirational quotes in it. The bowl protector underneath was made of crystal beads and handcrafted myself

For years, I have been collecting inspirational quotes which I read from The Holy Bible, quotations from great men, self-help & motivational books, and even from text messages. Whenever there are foods for the soul or enriching thoughts that uplift my spirit, I would definitely highlight the phrases and encode them in my computer. To make them useful and add relish to its value, each collection of words of wisdom was uniquely printed and rolled in different colored papers and placed in a bowl.

Let me take part in sharing with you my compilation of these quotes as you start your day with positive reflections and may you find inspiration and motivation the minute you keep an eye on some of my favorite powerful God-given wisdom.
