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!

A-Z Challenge Kickoff!!

I can't believe it's this time of year already!  I wasn't sure if I'd find the time or energy to attempt this year's challenge, but I realized it was something I really didn't want to pass up.  I haven't missed an A-Z Challenge since I first discovered it back in 2011.  Every year it is such a wonderful experience.

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.
