It happens this way …
My name is Carolyn and I am a collector of quotations. I have files and files of them that I occasionally re-read for inspiration or just to fill up time before a football game comes on. In any event, last week I took a stroll through a number of them and found 15 I’d like to share. They cover a variety themes by a variety authors who spoke to me this time around. May they speak to you!
“Just do your best to keep yourself in balance. One of the first things that causes Energy misalignment, is asking or demanding too much of yourself in terms of time and effort.
