"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. "
Mahatma Gandhi

12080
"Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none."
William Shakespeare

"Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why we call it "The Present"."
Eleanor Roosevelt

17297
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Marianne Williamson (A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of a Course in Miracles)

1335032 HI Patry and thanks so much for adding me as a friend. Your book "A Liar's Diary" sounds very interesting! If you have time, I'd love for you to visit my web site, www.jeanniebarber.com. I'm a novice writer so feel free to make any kind of suggestions, ideas or thoughts to correct it. I’m co-authoring a novel with Patty Wiseman, another friend on Goodreads. We’ve known each other for over 30 years. While you're there, please sign the guestbook, too! There’s also a link to our book you can click on…clairkelley@synthasite.com. This site is brand new and in the editing stage as is our story. Please visit it as well. We’re both very green, but we’ve met so many people on this site willing to reach out and offer advice or a guiding hand.
Thanks,
Jeannie

86892 Patry, I have to say I think the cover to the German edition of your book is much cooler! What a wonderful eye-catching design!

Your name is so interesting. Where did it come from? I'm always interested because my name is different.

783093 Hey Patry! I went to add your book to my currently reading list and just realized that you're a friend of mine! What a pleasure! :) I'm loving the book so far. I just started it, but already there's an air of mystery, in the characters alone. I like how you've created such an atmosphere within the first few chapters! Can't wait to keep reading!
