31 Days {Day 6} ???? my favorite quotes

I love words! I love the wisdom it brings, I love the way they make me think, I love the way words just come together to create meaning – its why I love to write.

I spend a lot of time reading quotes online. I have a whole folder filled with pictured quotes and whenever I am struggling, I look back on those to gain some insight and wisdom around whatever struggles I am going through.

I wanted to share some of my favorite quotes, I hope that some of them resonate with you.. so today I am reflecting on some of my favorite quotes, and will post more every Saturday morning.
