Quote of the day

Dedicating this quote to my Beyond Bordians who are so passionate, loving, and courageous. 

"Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself believe." - Winston Churchill

Wow! Ruby, I absolutely loved this quote! Thanks for sharing it!! It reminded me of a quote I read the other day

"People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do."

Anyways, I think that your quote really sums up what this summer will do for us, it will overwhelm us, it will swamp us and it will probably frustrate us to the point of tears, and it is only then can we truly come back and inspire others. To inspire change we ourselves must first be changed and learn to lead by example even when it means taking to path less chosen and sometimes feeling a little lost.

Thanks again for sharing Ruby!!
