G is for Gandhi


This year, my theme is Quotes from A-Z.  Each day I will post a quote from a person whose name starts with each day's letter.  It will be short and sweet but hopefully it will bring a moment of inspiration, laughter, or meditation to your busy day.  I would love to hear your thoughts on the quotes in the comments or what other quote is your favorite by that day's person. On each Saturday, I will list all the quotes from the week and you can vote to tell me which was your favorite!

  1. That's a brilliant quote.

    All I've learned this week is when I make plans, I get ill. Hoping for some more profound learning next week!

  2. I learned that there are some pretty cool ideas for how to tackle this A to Z Challenge. I love this approach. Can you imagine what today could be like if we heed Gandhi's advice?

  4. Annalisa- Oh I hope you feel better soon!

    Alex- :)

    Eli- Thanks! I know, he also said, "My life is My Message." and I think that is such a wonderful sentiment. If we could each live the life we believe in it would be a wonderful world.

    LD- He sure was.

    JE- I love learning!!

  5. That is a great quote because that's about how we should live. No one is guaranteed even our next breath. What have I learned this week? Its not fun to be on mandatory overtime during A/Z challenge; its cutting into my blogging time :)

  6. That really is a great quote... That was one smart cookie, that Mr. Ghandi.

    What have I learnt this week... all my "normal" writing goals are OUT the window as I struggle to keep up with posting and commenting :)

  8. There is of course a consequence to living as if this is your last day. My father died when he was forty nine and being the kind of person I am got me to believing I would too. I lived the first forty nine years of my life at breakneck speed, AND THEN I TURNED FIFTY.
    It has been difficult to motivate myself since then, I've already done everything I wanted to do. What now? :)
    For my fiftieth birthday I jumped the highest bungee jump in the world 216 meters.
    Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to learn now, ha, ha, ha.
