What a week! I pulled ten and eleven hour work shifts, transitioned into super-mom gear, somehow managed to eat and sleep in the middle of it all. Whew! I am a tired woman. 🙂 Happy, but tired.

So, our Friday Philosophy arrives on a Sunday this week, as the days have all blurred together. This New Normal of mine is crazy: busier and more action-packed than my life ever really seemed to be before.

The quotes for this week are coming from a place of feeling empowered, strengthened, and ready to continue my momentum. So, I guess that espresso kicked in and I am feeling fired up!

“For a gallant spirit, there can never be defeat.” ~ Wallis Simpson

“Man is not made for defeat.” ~ Ernest Hemingway (Okay, I LOVE this quote, I just wish someone other than Hemingway had said it, all things considered.)

“The question isn’t who’s going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.” ~ Ayn Rand (Another colorful figure, but a fantastic quote.)

“You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.” ~ Marianne Williamson

Blessings to you all, and remember: Never Give Up!
