Inspirational Quotes from Mary Anne Radmacher:

"Remember and know...What is my vision? I remember. I will paint it. What are my goals? I remember. I will dance them. Where is my integrity? I know. I will build upon it. Where is my personal responsibility? I know. I will appropriately extend it. At every turn, in each opportunity I will stand tall and fully in myself."

"It is not the easy or convenient life for which I search, but a life lived to the edge of all that I may be."

"Often one meets their destiny on the way to somewhere else. At first glance it may appear to hard. Look again. Always look again."

"We are remembered from the ways we have walked our ideals. At the heart of history is this reminder- You paint the colors of your days."

"Do what you love. Walk through walls. Allow no limitations to be defined on your behalf:
choose your own borders(if you choose borders) walk through walls(if you choose walls) sing with resonance: we change, we move on. Live with Intention."

"Live with Intention.
Walk to the edge
listen hard. play with abandon.
practice wellness. laugh. risk love.
continue to learn. appreciate your friends.
choose with no regret.
fail with enthusiasm.
stand by your family.
celebrate the holidays that make sense.
lead or follow a leader. do what you love.
live as if this is all there is."
