Give Sunday | 07
This year, in honor of my One Little Word® "give," I'm sharing a hand-drawn quote each Sunday here on my blog.
I am a huge fan of the words of poet Mary Oliver. She recently was interviewed for one of my favorite podcasts, On Being, which you can check out here.
I come back to this quote again and again when I find myself down or afraid. It's a lovely, uplifting battle cry.

Have a wonderful Sunday.
Perfect timing. I needed those words. Thanks so much for the gift.

Oh! Beautiful quote; I've never heard of her. I'm off to listen to the podcast. Thank you!!!
(and today I will give by doing some snow shoveling for a neighbor. So how's this: it snowed 8 or 9 inches then turned to sleet leaving a crust and making it heavy, but today it's going up to mid-40s. Maybe it'll melt whispers thru my head until I see tomorrows low of 2; so if I don't get it off today I'll need my ice skates tomorrow. But it is pretty. :)

Beautiful. Thank you for the podcast link, as well. To hear Mary Oliver read a small selection of her poems plus the actual interview is truly a gift. Appreciate that. And your handwriting paired with these words, beyond awesome. Michelle t

Thanks for sharing this quote, Ali. I enjoyed the Mary Oliver episode as well and happened upon the same quote it in a magazine recently. I included it on my 2015 OLW vision board.

I think this is going to go on my vision board! Definitely in my OLW album somewhere.
