Hello All, It's Friday.

Have a wonderful weekend.  Remember you are AMAZING!  

You must develop the ability to be disliked in order to free yourself from the prison of other people's opinions.- Unknown    I hope beautiful things happen to you and when they do.  You realize you deserve them.  You've got a caring and loving soul. Don't ever change the way you are.  Make your heart the most beautiful thing about you. 

We absolutely have to become OK with not being liked.  No matter how loving or kind you are, you will never people please your way into collective acceptance.  You could be a whole ray of sunshine and people will still dislike you, because they're used to the rain.  Be OK with shining regardless.- Smith    They don't respect you at the bottom.  They ignore you in the middle.  Then they dislike you when you get to the top.  You'll never have everyone's approval, so it's best to focus on your own.- Unknown     

The sun never asks for permission to shine and neither do you.  Keep shining like you do!!
