Happy Friday.

I have a document with most of the quotes that you post... they all seem to get me in some way!
I LOVE the picture, especially the apron! Mind if I ask where you found it? I'm hoping you don't say Goodwill, but applaud you if you did!
Have a fabulous weekend!

That's a heavy quote- a lot to think about and a lot to live up to. I love it though.

This is the quote I needed. Thank you.

I have the Mary Engelbreit book that's an illustration of that quote and I loooove it...such a joyous, gorgeous reminder of what life can be. Thank you.

simply beautiful quote!thanks for sharing that.

Perfect quote to start the weekend :) Thanks!

what a great way to start my weekend.
pondering that lovely quote.
thank you.

Hey Ali! I LOVE this quote, too, and what's really funny is after buying your second book, I did an Ali-inspired LO using this quote, because it reminded me of you. It even was featured at CK online! Woohoo! Just goes to show a little Ali goes a LONG way!!!

Please share more about that adorable apron!

great apron, great quote...I think that it could make a neat quilt. I hope that you are just wearing that apron around to be cool...because it is. Also I am not sure if you listen to the Creative Mom podcast....BUT she was talking about you and your little word...I thought that it was good stuff and it was Episode #81--listened to it as I worked out today...good stuff. Happy Friday!

Wow...that was a very nice quote. Thanks so much or sharing with us!!!!! And yes...that apron is really too cute ^-----^

Too ironic that I had printed that very quote months ago...and in my sorting today, found it, trimmed it, and put it up on my 'inspiration wall'. LOVE it. Thanks, Ali, for being so uniquely you & fabulous.

That quote is totally the best i´ve read for days!! LOve it, so inspiring... Thank you, Ali! Have a nice weekend!

Hi Ali,
You are a true artist in many ways, you have talent in many forms and you truly write from the heart. You have become my mentor in a way, even though we have not met.You inspire me to always do my best and to live a simple life and be grateful each day. Thank you for your beautiful blog, i will continue to enjoy it. Meri

have just been catching up on your blog, i love the canvases ... i am going to do one with my word for this year on it ... it has taken a couple of weeks of milling over - but i've finally decided on B A L A N C E!

Love it Ali. Thanks!

Wow, that quote really strikes a chord! Thank you for sharing.

Happy Saturday!! Thanks so much for all your blog brings to the rest of us! Unfortunately - last year I was "late" to find your calendar and missed out. I was so excited to see the one for 2008. At some point a couple of months ago you mentioned it was in the works. Now that it's January - did you decide to not release a 2008 calendar? I've been to your Cafe Press store and haven't seen anything.
THANKS!

Awesome!

Wow about the quote.
My wonderful boyfriend really lives his life along these lines in many ways... and I have started (early I know) on a little hardback miniBook for Valentines (wooden letters painted red and glued onto the book and letters topped with Glossy Accents). This quote is going in it!
Thanks for finding that one, it's a one for the bulletin board for sure.

What a fun picture, Ali! I love the quote, too. However, I believe it is mis-attributed. As I understand it, "My Symphony" was penned by William Henry Channing, who was actually a nephew of William Elllery Channing. Either way, the poem is quite thought-provoking.

Love your apron!!
