Words for the soul

So, about 2 years ago when I was facing my eating struggles, I read somewhere that it was good to write down quotes that inspire you.  Since then, I have become a quote JUNKIE!!  I have notebooks full of quotes.  I use them also as a journal, because the quotes I write down echo what is going on currently in my life, which is why they inspire me so much. I try to make my quote pages pretty, and my journal pages more plain, so that when you are easily thumbing through, you can quickly tell the difference between the pages.

Tonight as I spoke with one of my friends who is going through some rough stuff, I recommended that they do the same thing.  Doing this has been very therapeutic for me.  It helped me learn to have hope in a happy life again when I thought it was too far away.  I helped me gain some perspective of what I was going through in my life.  Lately I have been able to use this particular quote book as a help for others as they are going through things.
Writing it down is also better than just saving it.  It helps your mind retain it better. Find the words you can't express in a quote, and write it down.  I used this as my beacon of hope, to guide me through the dark days, and now I am helping others do the same thing.
Pinterest is a wonderful avenue in finding many quotes.  I also love to follow Matt Townsend (www.matttownsend.com) on his forms of social media.  His quotes are wonderful!  I follow him currently on facebook and instagram.  Find who inspires you, and find quotes by them, or through them.

All my love,
