Must Have- Added to My “To Buy” Book List

April 8th, 2010

It is no secret to anyone who knows anything about me that I love quotations. It’s also no secret than I’m a huge fan of Miss “O” herself, known to most of us simply as Oprah.

When I saw that the above pictured book will be hitting the bookshelves very soon, I knew that it was a must have. Books also happen to be amongst my favorite things, but this, my friends isn’t just any book, this is a book of quotations that Oprah has been collecting over the years. Quotes that have stood out to her and been significant in some way or another.

I’ll be honest- I don’t want the book because Oprah is publishing it, I want the book because it’s a book of great quotations that would probably take me years to compile. I can’t wait to have it in my hands, sit down and read each and everyone and as my friend Lin would say- Ponder them all and see if any ‘lightbulbs’ go off for me.

“Be daring, be different, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers…” — Cecil Beaton, photographer

Food for Thought (Quotable Quotes)

March 15th, 2010

I was reading my Twitter feed when I came across a quotation that I really loved and decided to share. For those of you who know me, know that I love quotes that inspire, but I also love quotes that cause a person (including myself) to pause and even ponder for a moment.

This quote did just that- It says:

“Money is not the root of all evil. It’s the misuse of money that is.”

I have no idea who wrote that, but I loved it.   I happen to believe it’s very true.   What do you think?
