Hope Sings...

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches 

in the soul - and sings the tunes without 

words - and never stops at all. ~Emily Dickinson

Once you choose hope, anything's possible. 

~Christopher Reeve

Pink Perseverance

 A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. ~Christopher Reeve

Toughness is in the soul and spirit, 

not in muscles. ~Alex Karras

What Remains Behind

That though the radiance which was once so bright 

be now forever taken from my sight. 

Though nothing can bring back the hour 

of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower.

We will grieve not, rather find strength 

in what remains behind. ~William Wordsworth

Cancer is a journey, but you walk the road alone. 

There are many places to stop along the way 

and get nourishment - you just 

have to be willing to take it. ~Emily Hollenberg

Find Your Strength

Be faithful in small things because it is in

them that your strength lies. ~Mother Teresa

People go through challenging moments of losing people and of having their life threatened from illness and real grief. But they get through it. And that's the testament to the human spirit and it's -- 

we are fragile, but we also are divine. ~Sheryl Crow

Strength of Heart

As we advance in life it becomes more 

and more difficult, but in fighting 

the difficulties the inmost strength 

of the heart is developed. ~Vincent Van Gogh

Yesterday I dared to struggle. 

Today I dare to win. ~Bernadette Devlin

Strong Souls

Out of suffering have emerged the 

strongest souls; the most massive 

characters are seared with scars. ~Khalil Gibran

With over 3 million women battling breast cancer today, everywhere  you turn there is a 

mother, daughter, sister, or friend who has been affected by breast cancer. ~Betsey Johnson

Strength of Pink

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. ~Helen Keller

In honor of those fighting, battling and surviving breast cancer...We will be pink for the month of October. This week will focus on strength.
