“Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our greatest 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, fabulous, gorgeous, talented? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.” --Marianne Williamson “Never talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory.” —Norman Vincent Peale “Your belief determines your action and your action determines your results, but first you have to believe.” --Mark Victor Hansen Beauty and Love Foundation, Inc.’s Blog Beauty and Love Foundation, Inc.
