I have always been a huge fan of Dove products. I use their soap and regular deodorant so I was excited to try out the new Advanced Care deodorant. The "New Dove Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant Deodorant claims to deliver "48-hour odor and wetness protection" and includes "NutriumMoisture™ and
an elegant floral scent for the ultimate care after every shave". (<a href="http://www.dove.us/Products/Deodorant/Advanced-Care/Advanced-Care-Nourished-Beauty-Anti-perspirant-Deodorant.aspx?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=dove%20advanced%20care%20deodorant&utm_campaign=Always+On+-+Branded+Product" target="_blank">Dove)</a><br />
<br />
It has now been a few weeks since I started using this deodorant and I am officially hooked on it. For starters the deodorant itself has a very silky smooth feeling to it so it glides on with ease. The scent is not too over powering but just perfect enough that when you raise your arms you can smell it if close by (proof of this was recently gathered when I went to pick up my son & he said "wow, what's that pretty smell mom?"). Although it claims to last for 48 hours I have yet to test this out. Not sure about anybody else but I prefer to shower daily and put deodorant on after I get out of the shower. It's nice to know though that if I shower in the morning I can expect it to keep working until the following night in case I stay over somewhere & don't have some deodorant on me. It has been put through many tests including multiple job interviews, a concert, new job jitters, playing & running around with my 7 year old, and work-outs at the gym. It held up remarkably well during each of these times and delivers outstanding odor and wetness protection!<br />
<br />
The moisturizing part is spot on & no lie! I know talking about armpits can be weird at times but I can tell there is a difference with mine from using this deodorant. I live in Indiana and we have had one of the worst winters ever. This means dry skin to the max! With the regular Dove deodorant I felt like I was getting some extra moisture with each use but I still used lotion to help with the itchiness that dry skin & shaving your armpits can cause. Not fun! Luckily, though, with this deodorant I no longer have any itchy dry skin in that area! Bravo Dove for that! <br />
<br />
To compare Dove's regular brand with the new Advanced Care deodorant I put a few swipes of it on paper. You can see that in the regular Dove deodorant it has left behind dry areas and streaks of small clumps of deodorant, whereas the advance care deodorant is smooth and left barely any streaks of deodorant behind on the paper.<br />

<br />
Words & testimony can only go so far so I highly recommend checking out Dove's Advanced Care line of deodorant. It may be a bit more pricey but I think it's worth it! Keep an eye out for coupons because I've seen some $2.00 ones to help with the cost. If you use this deodorant I'd love to hear your thoughts on it so please feel free to leave a comment.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In addition to my inspirational posts I will be using my blog from now on to also write reviews for sites such as Influenster, Smiley 360, BuzzAgent, etc. I have been very fortunate to get many products from these sites to test out and review. The first post, this post, is to highlight the sight Influenster and mention the VoxBox I recently received from them. If you are interesting in joining any of the sites I mention please leave me a comment and I will be more than happy to relay additional information to you!<br /><br />"Influenster<span style="line-height: 16px;"> is an exclusive community for trendsetters to share news,products, and reviews with the opportunity to be rewarded by brands." The site is invite only but you can often find people posting on Influenster's Facebook with available invites. The site itself is easy to navigate and extremely easy to get started with. The goal on the site is to increase your Influenster score by earning badges, writing reviews, inviting active members, and being active on the site. The higher your score the better your chances at receiving one of their amazing VoxBoxes. A VoxBox includes several items for the person receiving it to check and review. All items are yours to keep and most are full size products.<br /><br />Recently, I was able to become a lucky recipient of Influenster's Rose VoxBox. This VoxBox was packed full of incredible products including:</span></span><br />

Thanks for checking out my blog and posts and hope you like some of the changes I'll be making! I am also contemplating on posting about freebies, deals, and other things as well as I am a huge fan of getting free samples in the mail! </span></div>

This mascara just hit shelves this month (November) so you guys are in luck!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lSNdVH1fy4o/UopHG6qa6bI/AAAAAAAACDM/6i-aGeWpHfw/s1600/CAM01999.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lSNdVH1fy4o/UopHG6qa6bI/AAAAAAAACDM/6i-aGeWpHfw/s320/CAM01999.jpg" width="240" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'll admit I am pretty addicted to mascara but I have a really hard time finding a kind that works well with my eyelashes. I have pretty long eyelashes already and I find that with most mascara turns them into a massive congested traffic jam of lashes that eventually causes a head on collision with each other. In other words, the lashes all clump together and just do not look pretty. The Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara claims to give you a bold, wide-eyed look with no clumps so I was excited to receive this to try out. The brush is shaped like an hourglass and it's stated on the back of the container that the brush is "shaped to the lash line to plump lashes, fanning them up and out" and "coats lashes individually for a big, false lash look in one simple stroke. No clumps"! Sounds perfect, doesn't it? Even better the mascara has been tested and approved for sensitive eyes. Not sure who would put this stuff in their eyes but more power to you if that's your thing! I'm glad I wasn't a test subject for that. Ok, yes, I was being a tad bit facetious about that. I do have sensitive skin but have never had problems with mascara. Either way it is nice to know that it is fine to use on sensitive eyes if you have had bad reactions to mascara before. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-72IsurMnjvg/UopHHA7ARZI/AAAAAAAACDc/6mafJUU_uJc/s1600/CAM02003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-72IsurMnjvg/UopHHA7ARZI/AAAAAAAACDc/6mafJUU_uJc/s320/CAM02003.jpg" width="240" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Again the brush is an hourglass shape and can be seen in the picture to the right of this. It is also quite large and chunky. I thought at first that this was going to be a sign of bad things ahead. I don't know about all of you but I have a hard time not getting mascara on the top of my eyelids and below my bottom lashes when applying mascara. I thought for sure that having a bigger brush was more likely to cause this to happen. Surprisingly, when I first used the mascara I did not get mascara anywhere but on my eyelashes! Talk about earning extra brownie points for that! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When I completed putting on the mascara I was even more surprised to not find a total eyelash pile up. No need to call in the tow truck to pull them apart and get them all lined up in an orderly fashion (fyi, tow truck = </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">eyelash comb I usually have to use to separate them). One coat equaled perfection. I'll give the mascara 100 brownie points for that! </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />Last part was waiting to see how it dried and if it lasted throughout the day. A lot of mascara will begin to flake off the second it dries and nobody likes that! This mascara dried and stayed put. On top of that it lasted throughout the day and did not create a disastrous massacre on my face when I rubbed my eye. Unlimited brownie points for both of those amazing feats. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">All in all, I would say I think I have found my new favorite mascara. While these were my results and may differ from person to person, I highly recommend trying the mascara out for yourself. You have nothing to lose but wasted minutes from using another brand of mascara that takes a lot longer to use or several coats to get the look you want!<br /><br />Here are pictures of each eye where one has no mascara and the other I used </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara. Sorry they are not the best quality but I think you can tell just how amazing this mascara from them! </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
In life, we think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the
problem. The real truth is that things don’t really get solved. They
come together for a time, then they fall back apart. Then they come
together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. Let the hard
things in life break you. Let them affect you. Let them change you. Let
these hard moments inform you. Let this pain be your teacher. The
experiences of your life are trying to tell you something about
yourself. Don’t cop out on that. Don’t run away and hide under your
covers. Lean into it.What is the lesson in this wind? What will you
learn if you face it with courage? With full honesty, and – lean into
it.</div>

Dare to be unforgettable. The time to be bold is now. What lights you
up? Do more of that. There’s no one like you. You have a big, bold,
bodacious idea inside you- unleash it now. View the world like an
artist: make great art. Amaze yourself. You are the platform. The world
awaits your magic. AUTHENTIC TRUMPS FAKE. Every. Single. Time. Be your
own deliciously irresistible self. Make it juicy. Procrastination is
just another word for fear. Fame is not is not the goal. Doing work that
matters on the big stage is. Step into the light. Celebrate every day.
It’s fuel for the spirit. Fear is a signal that you are alive. Respect
it, but don’t be ruled by it. Smash the status quo. You don’t become a
hero by being like everybody else. Light your flame. Passion rules. If
you don’t feel it, don’t do it. Be ridiculously reliable for what
matters most. Make it happen. Be unforgettable.</div>

Being tender & open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continuously

more powerful than allowing yourself to be truly affected by things.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Dating doesn’t have to be hard. People are just so scared. We say things
like “it’ll find me,” but that’s just our excuse to stay semi-closed
off and not appear bitter or afraid. The truth is, we need that romance,
we all long for that connection, and the opportunity to be with
somebody we don’t have to hide from. When the world is coming at you
from all kinds of angles, it’s nice to have a refuge. Someone you can
only go to when you want life to feel “right”, even if it’s only for
five minutes. There is no perfect timing: you’ll never experience
enough, make enough, or know enough to be “ready”, so find somebody you
can grow with. The more your fears control you, the less authentic your
love will be. People can’t find and connect with parts of you that you
aren’t willing to show. Opening up won’t kill you. Don’t ruin the
potential good thing by being stuck on the bad ones from your past. Show
some effort, and act like you really want to be happy. Step outside of
that comfort zone, but don’t take too long. Always remember: a chance
is a terrible thing to waste.</div>

People tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that
will descend like fine weather if you’re fortunate. But happiness is the
result of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon
it , and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You
have to participate relentlessly.</div>

There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroad,
afraid, confused, without a road map. The choices we make in these
moments can define the rest of our days. Of course, when faced with the
unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back.</div>

We get bored with childhood, and rush to grow up, and then long to be
children again. We lose our health to make money and then lose our money
to restore our health. By thinking anxiously about the future, we
forget the present, such that we live in neither the present or the
future. We live as if we’ll never die and die as though we’ve never
lived.</div>

Just when we think we figured things out, the universe throws us a curve ball. So, we have to improvise. We find happiness in unexpected
places. We find ourselves back to the things that matter the most. The
universe is funny that way. Sometimes, it just has a way of making sure
we wind up exactly where we belong.</div>

Wait for the person who pursues you, the one who will make an ordinary
moment seem magical, the kind of person who brings out the best in you

be your best friend, the only person who will drop everything to be with
you at any time, no matter what the circumstances.</div>

But once in awhile, people push on to something better. Something found
just beyond the pain of going at it alone and just beyond the bravery
and courage it takes to let someone in. Or to give someone a second
chance. Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream.</div>

I backslide, I stumble. I fall. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I may be a mess, but I’m His mess. </div>

And He is slowly straightening me out. </div>

And the day will come when I will be by His side,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His work in me completed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And until that day, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will take His hand, </div>

and let him do in me whatever needs to be done,</div>

a walk in the rain,</div>

Experience. Dream. Risk. Close your eyes and jump. Enjoy the freefall. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Choose exhilaration over comfort. Choose magic over predictability.
Choose potential over safety. Make friends with your intuition. Trust
your gut. Discover the beauty of the uncertainty. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Know yourself fully
before you make promises to another. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make millions of mistakes so that
you will know how to choose what you really need. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Know when to hold on
and when to let go. Love hard and often and without reservation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seek
knowledge. Open yourself to possibility. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Keep your heart open, your head
high and your spirit free. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Embrace your darkness along with your light. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be wrong every once in awhile, and don’t be afraid to admit it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Awaken
to the brilliance in ordinary moments. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tell the truth about yourself no
matter what the cost. Own your own reality without apology. See goodness
in the world. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be bold. Be fierce. Be grateful. Be wild, crazy and
gloriously free. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be you.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Bonaventure is a music group that I became aware of thanks to Twitter. They were a random follower which I chose to check out and immediately followed back.They are a pop/rock band consisting of only two guys: Dan Smyers and Andy Albert. They are working hard to get their name and music out there for all to hear and it definitely appears that their hard work is paying off. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In an interview done by Patricia Tanne, she asked both members what their dream in life is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Andy's response was:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Our dream is to touch people with our music. Whether we are playing for an audience of 1, or 1 million, we want our music to hit home with people on a personal level."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dan's response was:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"We don’t measure success in money earned or records sold, but the extent to which people are moved by the music we create. If we can inspire someone, or brighten their day with our songs, then we have succeeded."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think both of their responses are true to heart and after following them for a few months on Twitter and Facebook, one can see that they truly care about music and using it to touch the lives of people.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently they recorded a version of <i>Silent Night</i> and they chose to use an extremely powerful commercial as the video for the song. The television commercial, “Silence of Love”, created for Thai Life Insurance, "tells the story of a young woman and her deaf mute father. The dramatic story reveals just how significant a father’s love is, despite feelings of inadequacy and frustration."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The song Silent Night is about the birth of Jesus. Jesus, the son of God, came to earth to give forgiveness and life to those who place their trust in Him. He came to take care of man’s debt of sin and He came to seek those who are lost. Many of us know about God and Jesus but still feel lost and unsure of the love of God. We focus on all the bad that is occurring and can't understand why a God would allow all this pain, hurt, and suffering. We simply sit back unwilling to understand a God that we can't actually hear or speak to. God's loves is like the love of the father in this film. Even though He knows what is best for us and wants the best for us, we have to open our eyes to His love. He is not going to make our lives perfect, we will have struggles, but He wants us to seek Him and trust in Him with all our heart. He may not be able to tell you He loves you in person but He works everyday to show His love. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I encourage everyone to take one day to just look around; seek God and look for all the ways He tells you He loves you. Watch a sunrise, listen to the birds sing in the morning, eat fresh fruit, hug a friend who's always been there for you, look at yourself in the mirror and marvel at the work He has done in creating you. We may not hear God or understand why He does the things He does but one thing is for certain; He has a never-ending love for us and everyday He waits patiently for us to love Him in return. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope everyone enjoys this holiday season. Please take a moment to watch this amazing video and listen to the amazing version of Silent Night by Bonaventure. The song is available to download on iTunes. The group has also promised to play a FREE ONLINE ACOUSTIC show if the song reaches #1 on any iTunes chart. Links to the iTunes song, YouTube video and where to find the group on Twitter and Facebook will be at the bottom of this post! Please share the song and video with everyone you know. Thanks! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a story that originates from a book written by Elisabeth Elliot written in 1995 titled <u>Keep a Quiet Heart.</u> Ms. Elliot attributes the story to a first-person account sent to her by Brenda Foltz of Princeton, Minnesota, who maintained she wrote it based upon an event that occurred during her first rock-climbing experience. I love this story because it serves as a reminder to have faith in God each and every day! He's there for you no matter how big or small your problems are! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Ant and The Contact.</span></div>
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1d_kvgwtd1c/UHdORuvo7jI/AAAAAAAABrU/lpmPE5dvAt4/s1600/rock_climbing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1d_kvgwtd1c/UHdORuvo7jI/AAAAAAAABrU/lpmPE5dvAt4/s1600/rock_climbing.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><div>
Brenda was almost halfway to the top of the tremendous granite cliff. She was standing on a ledge where she was taking a breather during this, her first rock climb. As she rested there, the safety rope snapped against her eye and knocked out her contact lens.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Great,” she thought. “Here I am on a rock ledge, hundreds of feet from the bottom and hundreds of feet to the top of this cliff, and now my sight is blurry.” She looked and looked, hoping that somehow it had landed on the ledge. But it just wasn't there!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She felt the panic rising in her, so she began praying. She prayed for calm, and she prayed that she may find her contact lens.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but it was not to be found. Although she was calm now that she was at the top, she was saddened because she could not clearly see across the range of mountains.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She thought of the Bible verse, “The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth.” She thought, “Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know every stone and leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens is. Please help me.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Later, when they had hiked down the trail to the bottom of the cliff they met another party of climbers just starting up the face of the cliff. One of them shouted out, “Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact lens?”</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Well, that would be startling enough. But you know why the climber saw it?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
An ant was moving slowly across the face of the rock, carrying it!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The story doesn't end there.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Brenda’s father is a cartoonist. When she told him the incredible story of the ant, the prayer, and the contact lens, he drew a cartoon of an ant lugging that contact lens with the caption:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Lord, I don’t know why You want me to carry this thing. I can’t eat it, and it’s awfully heavy. But if this is what You want me to do, I’ll carry it for You.”</div>
<div>

There are a few times in your life when all your instincts will tell you to do something, something that defies logic, upsets your plans, and may seem crazy to others. When that happens, you do it. Listen to your instincts and ignore everything else. Ignore logic, ignore the odds, ignore the complications and just go for it.</div>

See, we are all imperfect and unworthy of His love. Just because we do things that we don’t like to look back on, doesn't make anyone a bad person. After all, Peter had a temper, David had an affair, Noah got drunk, Jonah ran from God, Paul was a murderer, Gideon was insecure, Miriam was a gossip, Martha was a worrier, Thomas was a doubter, Sara was impatient, Elijah was moody, Moses stuttered, Zaccheus was short, Abraham was old, and Lazarus was dead. Our mistakes and the lessons we learn make us WHO WE ARE. We are given these lessons to mold us into the people we are supposed to be. His grace IS sufficient for us and his power is made perfect in weakness.</div>

Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You’re by no means alone on that score, you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them- if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It’s history. It’s poetry.</div>

Not everyone or everything is worth fighting for. Sometimes what seems promising is nothing but a scenario and an ending that we've created in our heads. Throwing in the towel doesn't always mean that you’re weak. It just means that you are strong enough to let go and allow God to take over. Whatever is meant to be…will be.</div>

Look at us, running around. Always rushed, always late. I guess that’s why they call it the human race. What we crave most in this world is connection. For some people, that happens at first sight. It’s when you know, you know. It’s fate working its magic. And that’s great for them. They get to live in a pop song. Ride the express train. But that’s not the way it really works. For the rest of us, it’s a bit less romantic. It’s complicated, it’s messy. It’s about horrible timing and fumbled opportunities. And not being able to say what you need to say when you need to say it. At least, that’s the way it was for me. But sometimes, it slows down just enough for all the pieces to fall into place. Fate works its magic. And you’re connected.</div>

I want to remember that no one is going to make my dreams come true for me. It is my job to get up every day and work toward the things that are deepest in my heart, and to enjoy every step of the journey rather than wishing I was already where I want to end up.</div>

So, I’ve been thinking about the whole “being happy” thing and I feel like people get lost when they think of happiness as a destination…we’re always thinking that someday, we’ll be happy; we’ll get that car or that job or that person in our lives that’ll fix everything. But happiness is a mood, and it’s a condition, not a destination. It’s like being tired or hungry, it’s not permanent. It comes and goes, and that’s okay. And I feel like if people thought of it that way, they’d find happiness more often.</div>

Learn to love the fool in you, the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects you against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom you also harbor and who would rob you of human aliveness, humility, and dignity.<br />

You are the books you read, the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you meet, the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in. You are what you take from these. You are the sound of the ocean, the breath of fresh air, the brightest light and the darkest corner. You are a collective of every experience you have had in your life. You are every single day. So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge and existence. Let the words run through your veins and let the colors fill your mind.</div>

It’s a strange thing, how you can love somebody, how you can be all eaten up inside with needing them- and they simply don’t need you. That’s all there is to it, and neither of you can do anything about it. And they’ll be the same way with someone else, and someone else will be the same way about you and it goes on and on- this desperate need - and only once in a rare million do the same two people need each other.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A few rules: 1.) Never stop thinking. This is is important. If someone ever says to you “you need to stop thinking so much,” call them ignorant in your head and keep thinking deeper. It is this mentality that breeds stupid people. Your mind is the most important thing you have, if you stop using it, it will atrophy. 2.) Stare into space blankly and don’t mentally punish yourself for doing it, even if it is for that split second. 2.) Don’t be afraid to talk about anything. You shouldn’t be afraid of reality. 3.) Everyone is a hypocrite. 4.) You are all original. Every life experience is case sensitive and unique. Every time you wake up or quote someone else, you are becoming more you than anyone has ever been. 5.) Do pointless things. Don’t actively restrain or hide yourself from the redundant. 6.) Stop rushing. Shut up and embrace the sound of silence. 7.) Religion shouldn’t be taught, it should be found. No one should tell you what to believe except for you. 8.) Talking to yourself is healthy. Is there anyone you have more in common with? 9.) There is no such thing as time. The sun never sets or rises. Days and years don’t exist. There is only your life. 10.) We will always be in a transitional phase. Look outside and know that everything will be replaced at some point. This existence is temporary. 11.) It’s not half empty or half full. It’s half a glass. 12.) Every now and then, you take something that you see everyday and try to see it in a different light. Renew its resistance. 13.) Be happy, but don’t force it. 14.) You will always succeed in trying. 15.) We are all crazy. 16.) We are all about as similar as we are different. 17.) Ideas are about as valuable as people. 21.) Numbers don’t have to go in order. 18.) Words will always be just words. Love is just another four letter word, only the feeling is real. 19.) Ask a child for advice. They may not know much, but they know what’s important. 20.) Prove you’re alive. Do anything from dancing in the supermarket to taking an impulse trip to another country. Remind the world you are still here. 21.) Don’t take anything seriously.</div>

"You don't have to be a current victim, you don't have to be a survivor, you don't have to be a witness, or even a silent bystander. You don't have to know the right words to say, have money or the resources to help. All you need is the heart, the courage, and the compassion to speak out about the violence by the hands of another. Spread the word that it is not okay to hurt another human soul and try to not judge those who are in a situation for it's never our place to judge one another. There are too many silent victims scared to speak a word, because the stigma that has been created by something so severe. Work together to break the chains that bound them to this shame and help them to realize they are not alone. There are people who care and ready to listen to help in ways they can. There are people standing strong, hand-in-hand, ready to unsilence the violence caused by a woman or a man." </div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">She only felt afraid when she spent too much time thinking about the past or projecting into the future. When she focused on whatever life has placed right in front of her in this moment, she knew she would be okay.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. Know when to let go and when to hold on tight. Stop rushing. Don’t be intimidated to say it like it is. Stop apologizing all the time. Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. Spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. Stop giving your power away. Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. Be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it. Finally, know who you are.</div><div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Life becomes wonderful even if there are struggles and difficulties, because we have a God so loving and inspiring, who heals the pain and keeps us going.</div><div><br />

</div><div><div style="text-align: center;">We wish, hope, and dream for so many things. We put faith in others. We put our vulnerability on the table before us. We let someone else take our destiny and then expect everything to fall into place. But you know what, that’s a shame because no one knows what you truly want. You are just setting up your own avalanche of destruction. You want something done, you do it yourself. Make yourself happy and don’t rely on someone else to do that for you.</div></div><div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XZOcLo2qVMw/T7KqE-3MHUI/AAAAAAAABXM/e3rGEk2aI5I/s1600/I+think.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XZOcLo2qVMw/T7KqE-3MHUI/AAAAAAAABXM/e3rGEk2aI5I/s320/I+think.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Just when we think we’ve figured things out, God throws us a curveball. So, we have to improvise. We find happiness in unexpected places. We find ourselves back to the things that matter most. God is funny that way. Sometimes, He just has a way of making sure we wind up exactly where we belong.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C72gjGXglG4/T7KqPCcNOiI/AAAAAAAABXU/CNDTussBp88/s1600/it's+yours.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C72gjGXglG4/T7KqPCcNOiI/AAAAAAAABXU/CNDTussBp88/s320/it's+yours.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Take a step back. Look at yourself. You are human. You are beautiful. You are so beautiful. And you can be anything. You can be everything. Do not hate because someone broke your heart, or because your parents split up or your best friend betrayed you. Do not concern yourself with things you cannot control. Cry when you need to, then let go when it’s time. Don’t hang on to painful memories just because you’re afraid to forget. Let go of things that are in the past. Forget things that aren’t worth remembering. Stop taking things for granted. Stop taking life for granted. Live for something. Live for yourself. Fall in love. Fall out of love. Fall in love. Fall out of love. Do this over and over until you know what it really is to love someone. Question things. Tell people how you really feel. Sleep under the stars. Create. Imagine. Inspire. Share something wonderful. Make something beautiful and then destroy it. Meet new people. Make someone’s day. Follow your dreams. Live your life to its full potential. Just live. Let go of all the horrible things in your life and just live. And one day, when you’re old, look back with no regrets. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love listening to songs that make me smile, not because of the words or music, but because of the memories behind them.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PbkL7FQEuW4/T7KsVWozpNI/AAAAAAAABXk/qSbd8G7Ge-U/s1600/tumblr_lp626hklO21qghihso1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PbkL7FQEuW4/T7KsVWozpNI/AAAAAAAABXk/qSbd8G7Ge-U/s320/tumblr_lp626hklO21qghihso1_500.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you look close enough to the world around you, you might find someone like you. Someone trying to find their way. Someone trying to find their self. Sometimes, it seems like you are the only one in the world who’s struggling, who’s frustrated, unsatisfied, barely getting by. But that feeling’s a lie. And if you just hold on, just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find you and make it all okay. Because we all need a little help sometimes. We need someone to remind us that it won’t always be this way. That someone is out there. And that someone will find you. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-x0RKOVLpszY/T7KsitETi_I/AAAAAAAABXs/-72Aj-g-E2k/s1600/enjoy+life.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-x0RKOVLpszY/T7KsitETi_I/AAAAAAAABXs/-72Aj-g-E2k/s320/enjoy+life.png" width="198" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If your dreams don’t scare you, they are not big enough</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I don’t understand how you can smile all day long but cry yourself to sleep at night. How pictures never change but the people in them do. How your best friend can become your worst enemy, or how strange it is when your worst enemy turns into your best friend. How forever turns into a few short months that you’d do almost anything to get back. How you can let go of something you once said you couldn’t live without. How even though you know something is best for you, it just hurts the same. How the people who once wanted to spend every second with you, think a few minutes of their time is too much to spare. How people make promises despite knowing how common it is for promises to be broken. How people can erase you from their lives just because it’s easier than working things out. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-akh8kynj6_4/T7Ks71YnRbI/AAAAAAAABX8/EBfLBDoI86Y/s1600/I+knew+I+could.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-akh8kynj6_4/T7Ks71YnRbI/AAAAAAAABX8/EBfLBDoI86Y/s320/I+knew+I+could.jpg" width="254" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you fail, never give up because FAIL means “FIRST ATTEMPT IN LEARNING”. END is not the END. In fact E.N.D means “EFFORT NEVER DIES”. If you get NO as an answer. Remember N.O means “NEXT OPPORTUNITY”.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It is full of madness and insanity which is eclipsed by droplets of beauty and perfection. The moment we learn to stop focusing on the destruction of ourselves, and start learning to dance in that rain, is the moment that our souls will start to emulate the beauty around us. Remember when you can’t see anything but the chains that are binding you to your struggles, that some of the happiest people are the ones who have taken that leap to become free.”</div><br />

She let go of the judgments. She let go of the opinions swarming around her head. She let go of the committee of indecision within her. She let go of all the “right” reasons. Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go. She didn’t ask anyone for advice. She didn’t read a book on how to let go. She just let go. She let go of all the memories that held her back. She let go of all the anxiety that kept her from moving forward. She let go of the planning and all the calculations, about how to do it just right. In the space of letting go, she let it all be. A small smile came over her face. A light breeze blew through her. And the sun and the moon shone forever more.” ~ Ernest Holmes</div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">From the very beginning when the first words were uttered, the ability to communicate has played an important role in our world. Whether within our own thoughts, spoken or written, words have the power to transform the world we live in.<br />
<br />
Love, laughter, heroism, friendship, and virtually every emotion we feel as human beings can be inspired by words. Unfortunately, fear, anger, and hatred, can also be invoked by words.<br />
<br />
Never forget that language is at its best when used to inspire others to find the best in themselves.</div><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips. They make other people good-natured. They also produce their own image on men's souls, and a beautiful image it is. </div><div style="text-align: center;">--Blaise Pascal </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
The flood of careless, unconsidered, cheap words is the greatest enemy of the profound word. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> -- Stephen L. Talbott </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
Speech is the mirror of the soul; as a man speaks, so he is. </div><div style="text-align: center;">--Publilius Syrus </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs. </div><div><div style="text-align: center;">--Pearl Strachan</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">"Be careful of the words you say,</div><div style="text-align: center;">Keep them short and sweet.</div><div style="text-align: center;">You never know, from day to day,</div><div style="text-align: center;">Which ones you'll have to eat."</div><div style="text-align: center;">-- Anonymous</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">"Kind words are a creative force, a power that concurs in the building up of all that is good, and energy that showers blessings upon the world."</div><div style="text-align: center;">-- Lawrence G. Lovasik<br />
