“Elegance is a glowing inner peace. Grace is an ability to give as well as to receive and be thankful. Mystery is a hidden laugh always ready to surface! Glamour only radiates if there is a sublime courage and bravery within: glamour is like the moon; it only shines because the sun is there.” –…
“The greatest personal limitation is to be found not in the things you want to do and can’t, but in the things you’ve never considered doing.” – Richard Bandler
