Motto - Communication is key. You can't expect people to know how you feel or what you're thinking, if you're not willing to put it into words for them.
Quote - my current fave is from The Valley of Vision, which is a collection of Puritan poems and prayers. This little phrase has been helpful in the TTC process for me.
TTC #2
"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength."
"Never let the odds keep you from doing
what you know in your heart you were meant to do."

"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength."
I have this quote on a magnet on my fridge
I also have another good magnet there- "If you think you're too small to be effective, you've never been in bed with a mosquito."
I don't necessarily have a specific one I live by, but I've been giggling at a Tori Amos lyric that pops into my head sometimes during my TTC journey, and it's a quite fitting motto at this point in my life: "Give me peace, love and a hard ***"
"Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, then it's not the end."
-My Momma (although I'm sure she probably heard it from somewhere else)
I love that, I really needed to hear that one.
Bubs I totally agree with your communtion is key. More marriages would work out if they would actually talk about there feeling and talk about the true issues. At least thats what happen with my first marriage... Was not comfortable telling him my true feelings that we werent meant to be together.
I have this one as my signature in my email!! I def like singing when no one is looking. In the car is the best!!!!
I have two:
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change thw world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has" -- Margaret Mead
"Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both." -- Eleanor Roosevelt
Much love to all of my magical ladies.
Love it! I just laughed out loud when I read the mosquito quote!
I love this!

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
-Jer. 29:11
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. -Ephesians 4:29
If at first you don't succeed, try and try again
"Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker is sorry." ~Mark Twain

I'm not sure I would say I live by these, but they are some of my favorites!
The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands. -Alexandra Penney
A pessimist is one who makes difficulties out of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities out of his difficulties. -Harry Truman
Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?" she asked.
"Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat.
"I don't know," answered Alice.
"Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."
Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet. -Roger Miller
It say's - "In life, as in dance; grace glides on blistered feet" by Alice Abrams.
This is my absolute favorite quote. EVER. Because it is so true.
I have 2 favorites from one book.
"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!" --"Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted"--
Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
Oh, I LOVE quotes.
I painted this one as a border around my kitchen and den: "To laugh often and love much... to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children... to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends... to appreciate beauty... to find the best in others... to give of one's self... to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition... to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation... to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived... this is to have succeeded." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
For my life: "There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: those who are afraid to try it themselves and those who are afraid that you will succeed."
And for my classroom: "They will never care how much you know until they know how much you care."
