Fab Quotes Of The Week

April 12, 2008

The winner of fab quote of the week is Kelly Rigby of She Power. Check out my favourite quotes of the week below. It really is difficult to choose a winner, as they’re all excellent.


“Decide today to be a better, kinder friend to yourself. You are the one constant in your life, so if you spend it criticizing and tearing yourself down it’s going to be one long and miserable journey.” Kelly Rigby at She Power

“I see in other people what I first see in myself. Community begins inside me.” Liz Strauss at Successful Blog.

“Trying to avoid weakness is like trying to avoid fear. It is an act of futility. Your job as a business owner, a freelancer, or frankly a human being is to spin your weaknesses into strengths.” Naomi Dunford at Itty Biz


“I don’t make the rules… I just know how to recognize them and follow them.” Kathy at Virtual Impax

“Freedom of choice is a privilege. Be thankful that you have it. Do not give it up” Brett Legree of 6 Weeks

    Thanks you for that Cath. I’m honoured and humbled to be chosen as quote of the week.

    I love Liz’s quote too. I think I’d extend it to say MY WORLD begins inside me.

    Cheers
    Kelly

    PS. Are you over the lurgy and feeling better now?

    Hi Cath,

    Thanks again – Brett

    Hi Cath!

    Hi Kelly – You are welcome – I loved your quote. I also love your interpretation of Liz’s quote. Am much better than I was thanks. I have a hospital appointment to sort things out in two weeks time and I am hoping it will be pretty minor. A hospital appointment within 2 weeks over here is a pretty amazing thing, so I’m happy.

    Hi Brett – I am – see message to Kelly. Hope you are much better too – your quote was ace.

    Hi Liz – Thank you. I love quotes and you write some of the most amazingly inspiring stuff I’ve ever read.

    Hi Joanne – thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed them. It’s tough picking a favourite each week, because I love them all and I’m having to pick from the best of the best.

    Great choices, Cath.
    I’ve been talking about this contest to my blogger friends. . . I know it’s a lot of work to scout around, and hope more and more bloggers get to know this.

    Hi Catherine,

    I can see why you have such a tough time deciding. These are all wonderful quotes.

    It’s also great that you’re showcasing the blogs of others. You’re one of those people who always puts others before yourself. It’s no wonder you have such a big following.

    You’re awesome!

    Hi Ian – V funny. Is there really such a thing as an emergency hairdresser? That is just too weird.

    Thanks Barbara – It is tough doing the choosing and finding. Now I understand how time consuming your NBOTW is.

    I’m hoping people will reuse the quotes with the writers link attached.

    Cath… wishing you good health,

    Hi Walt. I looked at your blog before I put this together and I missed that one. I like it – even though I don’t believe the box exists.

    I never thought of being a friend to myself. What a great idea.
