Do I remember Voltaire'...Good Morning Samantha,<br />Do I remember Voltaire's "Candide"? Yes, I do but I read it first at the university that I was attending. It was mandatory to read it. At that time, I had already had my first encounter with Vince Lombardi through his famous speech to the Green Bay Packers in 1967 when they won the first Super Bowl. That speech impacted my life and changed my thought life. I knew then that I must rise above the shackles of life that were trying to hold me down because I was a black woman. Since then I continue to rise and will continue until as Alfred Lord Tennyson said, I walk into the heavenly light that is above all light. <br />Thank you for so much for sharing here with me. <br />Shalom,<br />PatriciaPat Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204650731843984192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478463740718742925.post-60659196713265189112015-07-19T19:30:16.664+02:002015-07-19T19:30:16.664+02:00Vince Lombardi's words serve as an excellent r...Vince Lombardi's words serve as an excellent reminder and source of inspiration to me. Thank you for posting this quote. When I was 15, back in 1957, I read Voltaire's "Candide," a little book having great impact on me: "Everything is for the best in this best of all possible worlds." I may be paraphrasing, but this is essentially the thought and the philosophical premise. So ... putting these two qotes together for me neutralizes the negative thought in my mind that blocks me from believing I can achieve my dreams.<br /><br />Shalom,<br />SamanthaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03375948110779914866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478463740718742925.post-75027571064911070522015-07-13T10:53:04.720+02:002015-07-13T10:53:04.720+02:00My Dear Friend,

Sometimes we have to move away from that toxic brew where a person is judged on externals and come to a place where we can live and love, work freely and simply be ourselves. Thank you for sharing this post with us.<br /><br />A quote off the top of my head and the one that came to me as I was writing this: Judge not and be ye not judged.

Sharing the wisdom I've gained may help someone and if I don't share it, then I help no one. <br /><br />You too have been an inspiration for me. I'll never forget Writer's Gateway and how you stepped up to the plate to give a few writers like myself the opportunity to find ourselves. You shared yourself and thereby made a big impression on my life. So, I say thank you. <br /><br />Shalom,<br />PatriciaPat Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204650731843984192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478463740718742925.post-31590209019309820522015-07-11T11:14:21.010+02:002015-07-11T11:14:21.010+02:00Hi A.J.,
