THE POSITIVE QUOTE OF THE DAY IS FROM MARLA GIBBS: “I TRULY BELIEVE THAT
EVERYTHING THAT WE DO AND EVERYONE THAT WE MEET IS PUT IN OUR PATH FOR A
PURPOSE. THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS; WE'RE ALL TEACHERS - IF WE'RE WILLING TO PAY
ATTENTION TO THE LESSONS WE LEARN, TRUST OUR POSITIVE INSTINCTS AND NOT BE
AFRAID TO TAKE RISKS OR WAIT FOR SOME MIRACLE TO COME KNOCKING AT OUR DOOR.”
