A common recent lunch-with-friends topic is how to know when it’s time to make a change—any kind of change. Most of us comment that we’re extra content with our lives right now, but we remember some of the big, sometimes scary changes we’ve made in the past and know that we may have to make new ones someday, too. Although a big part of the conversation is about prayer, we also marvel at the way inspiring quotes or words from songs and poems—whether funny or serious—often come our way just when we need them. I love this “chic chick” question (it’s on a pillow!), and another friend shared a “chapter” quote she keeps on her bulletin board. Here they are . . . just in case this is a bit of the inspiration YOU need today. ♥
That Nancy quote is so true! I like it.
I know! We can all think of specific “chapters,” can’t we!
What great quotes, I adore the one by Nancy Holowaty!
Me, too!
I loved your recent quote post, too! 
Thank you. I just found them so touching to me I thought someone else would enjoy reading them, maybe finding one that spoke to them.
The one about the “charming gardener” was on a Mother’s Day card I received one time . . . so that one is extra special!
What Nancy said. Spot on! Thanks for this
You’re very welcome!
Very true words by Nancy, thanks for reminding me of this.
You’re very welcome! And the other quote is my current mantra for making a (big but not scary) change . . . losing a few pounds.
Never truer words…
It’s easy to think of examples, isn’t it!
Love those sentiments. I decided 3 years ago my life had become a complete mess. So I set about changing almost every aspect. It has taken 3 yrs but my life is now awesome. My continuing prayer has been “God please help me let go of outcomes”
Bravo! It takes so much courage to do that . . . but it’s so worth it. I’m proud of you!
I am not sure if it is cyber etiquette to comment on a comment but I really wanted to say:
“thank you.” because you made my day.
And you inspired me! Thank you!
Best, Katherine

Fabulous quote and unbelievably well timed for me to read it. I needed to hear that today!
That makes me happy!
Best wishes on starting down your next path, Alex!
Boy, do I identify with the Holowaty quote! That one’s going on a post-it on my laptop!
Well, then, I’m very glad I posted it!
Best wishes on whatever new adventures you’re contemplating!
Terrific quotes- I followed a quote earlier this year ” Take a leap and the safety net will appear”. I did and it did!
I love that!!! It reminds me of the one I have on my writing web site: “Begin to weave, and God will give the thread” (a German proverb). I did, and he did!
Nancy Holowaty’s quote really resonates with me right now. Are you reading my mind by chance? You have given me something to think about. Thea
I just kept thinking about it and felt that someone somewhere might need to hear it. I’m glad it’s you!
Love Nancy’s can’t even say the other one at this time of night let alone think about. I’ve been thinking for quite awhile that I need to print some motivational things to put on walls at home. I really value that stuff, a good mixture of scripture and clever quotes. I’m wanting to show some to my glass half empty boy.
Maybe you could find a pretty frame and a good spot and change out the quotes every week or month. Hmmm . . . now I think I might do that, too!
love this….amen sister….
Thank you! Right now I’m a “chic chick” on a mission to slim down!
Both these quotes could be talking about me! The ‘chick chick’ one reminds me of all the de-cluttering I need to do and the other is pushing me forward in my writing. They are diametrically different, pulling me in opposite directions because I can’t do one without giving up time to do the other! Thanks for sharing them.
That IS a dilemma! But I’ve been decluttering, too . . . and it actually makes my writing time and space feel calmer, so maybe it will do the same for you! Good luck!
