Age is a Number and Mine is Unlisted

Hey all,

It's my birthday today!  WooHoo!!!  And in honor of that birthday I thought I'd share some truths I've learned as I've grown older.  Ready?

What the heart cherishes, there its home will be.~~~Anonymous

A warrior would rather be defeated and die then act against his nature.  ~~~~Taylor (Poltergeist II)

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself. ~~~Harvey Fiersten 

The only truth I can convince someone of is the truth they're willing to believe.  ~~~Anonymous

It takes a real storm in the average person's life to make him realize how much worrying he has done over the squalls. ~~~Bruce Barton

When one door closes, God opens a window. But it may be hell in the hallway.~~~Anonymous

Freedom is the greatest gift we are born with, and the hardest thing to hold on to.~~~Joseph (Quantum Leap Episode: Freedom)

Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but looking outward together in the same direction. ~~~Antoine de Saint- Exupery 

The world is like a giant spider, spinning it’s web. Each strand we can easily break, but if we let them wrap around us, suddenly we are no longer free…but food for the spider.~~~Anonymous 

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to be over.  It's about learning how to dance in the rain.~~~Anonymous 

Imagination in more important than knowledge.~~~Albert Einstein 

Thank your readers and the critics who praise you, and then ignore them. Write for the most intelligent, wittiest, wisest audience in the universe: Write to please yourself.~~~Harlan Ellison 

To voyage without an open heart is meaningless.~~~Anonymous

Dream as if you'll live forever.  Live as if you'll die today.~~~James Dean 

And my all time favorite quote of all time...

Dance like no one is watching,

Love like you'll never be hurt,

Sing like no one is listening,

Live like it's heaven on earth.

~~~William Purkey

So now it's your turn.  Give me a birthday gift and at the same time you might get one for yourself.  In the comments below, do two things...

1) Choose the quote in my blog that touched you the most.  Copy it into the comment box.  

2) Give me a quote or saying of your own that has made a difference in your life.  Put it, too, in the comment box.

3) Give me your name and an email addy to get in touch with you.  If you don't want to leave it in the comment box, then send me an email at womanofthewind1@yahoo.com.  Make sure you tell me why you're sending it.  (Note:  Email addys can be sent to me, but quotes MUST be put in the comment boxes.)

I'll promote this birthday contest until the following Wednesday (June 20th) when I'll draw one name from the hat.  The winner will get to choose one of my published ebooks as a prize.  Have them all?  AWESOME!!!  But still enter.  We'll work something out!

Good luck and Happy Birthday to me!!!
