Friday Frills

A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape… 

But a woman of strength uses the power of kindness to keep her soul in shape. 

A strong woman isn’t afraid of anything… 

But a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear.

A strong woman won’t let anyone get the best of her…

But a woman of strength gives the best of herself to everyone. 

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids doing the same in the future…

A woman of strength realizes life’s mistakes can also be a blessing

in disguise and capitalizes on them.

A strong woman knows how to walk on a tightrope in high heels...

But a woman of strength masters the art of walking tall after stumbling over. 

A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face…

But a woman of strength wears grace. 

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey … 

But a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong… 

A strong woman is one who gets her heart broken time and time again and still has the strength to gather the pieces to create a new life for herself. 

This is a Salute to you, dear friends, each of whom is a Woman of Strength.

Friday Frills

Failure doesn’t mean you’re a failure,


It means you haven’t succeeded yet. 

Failure doesn’t mean you haven’t accomplished something,
 

It does mean you have learned something. 

Failure doesn’t mean you’ve been a fool, 


It means you have a lot of faith. 

Failure doesn’t mean you’ve been disgraced,


It does mean you were willing to try. 

Failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it,


It means you have to do something in a different way. 

Failure doesn’t mean you’re inferior,


It does mean you’re not perfect. 

Failure doesn’t mean you’ve wasted your time,


It means you have a reason to start fresh. 

Failure doesn’t mean you should give up,


It does mean you should try harder. 

Failure doesn’t mean you’ll never make it,


It does mean it will take a little longer. 

Failure doesn’t mean God has abandoned you,


It does mean he has a better way.
