Hello Darling!
It’s always so fun to kick off a brand new year, isn’t it? Fresh start. Clean slate. A do-over if you will.
A chance to get back on track with your goals and dreams. Let go of some old ones. Create new ones.
While you can do this pretty much any day, there’s just something about the new year that fills most of us with extra zip and enthusiasm. A great thing indeed.
AND, as is wont to happen, some days will be better than others.
Some days you’ll be kicking a** and taking names like Wonder Woman.
And some days you’ll be a regular old Eeyore, not wanting to get out of bed.
For those days, when you need a little something to get you going, a reminder, inspiration, some encouraging words, I created this post. Hope you enjoy it!

Awesome content here. Very inspiring. I loved #25 H.O.P.E. – hold on, pain ends. I’ve lived with fibromyalgia for some time now and I am going to embed this in my brain for when I have flair ups. Thanks so much. It’s always a joy to ready your inspiring words.

Healing and ease to you, lady! Thanks so much for reading & commenting.
I’m obsessed with evergreen quotes. I have to say you have some really nice collection there! I really like all of them but the ones that penetrate my entire being are the fifth one from Nelson Mandela, the tenth one from his holiness the Dalai Lama and number 33 from Earl Nightingale.
I’d also like to add one more quote to this amazing list. It is from Van Gogh and I have it in the header of my website because it is just so powerful! It goes like this:
“Great Things Are Done By a Series of Small Things Brought Together” – Vincent Van Gogh
So powerful…
You can read my website at enlightenmentportal.com
I’ll be definitely borrowing some of these quotes for my site, don’t worry though, I’m not getting the entire list!
Thanks for putting them all together!
“When it will be right, I don’t know
What it will be like, I don’t know
We live in hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us.”
Paul McCartney
So, this is one of my favourite quotes on hope – hope you like it! 😉
