Quotable

I found this quote today, and I just absolutely LOVED it. Enjoy:

Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Walk with those who have ideals, with zest to help and lift, to create and contribute. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it. (Wilferd Peterson)



And, after googling the guy, I found this gem:

Explore your mind, discover yourself, then give the best that is in you to your age and to your world. There are heroic possibilities waiting to be discovered in every person. (Wilferd Peterson)



Onward! :)

And while I have the time...

Since I have the extra time, thought I'd post this wonderful text message I got from Duckworth (one of my best friends from college) as I was pulling out of the one and only BGKY:

If I had a glass of champagne,

I'd make a toast for your departure.

But since I don't, 

just use your Starbucks coffee cup.

To the start of new memories

on an unknown road. 

Good luck Lou,

you're going to be amazing. 

Love and miss you best friend :)

It was 9 AM so champagne definitely wasn't an option, but I love that she knew I'd have a Starbucks cup in my hand. Such a simple message was just what I needed! And I love her attitude... to the start of new memories on an unknown road. If that doesn't capture the hum of possibility, I don't know what does!

Memphis, y'all!

Here I am... back in Memphis, TN. Well, to be more specific, Germantown -- a precious town that honestly reminds me a lot of Hilton Head Island. There is certainly a heavy level of hustle and bustle here, but all the buildings are neutral tones just like HHI, giving it the old-world feel of classic (not urban) America. I'm absolutely in love with it!

Excited to be here for the next two weeks, and I've already jumped the biggest hurdle: morning coffee. No, it's not my classic Starbucks routine (nothing will ever replace that), but this home-brewed coffee is definitely serving its purpose.

Cheers to a brilliant Monday! :)
