Quotes to Inspire and Ignite Your Passion

I am a quote junky.  I love, love, LOVE quotes!  They inspire me to reflect on my life-who I am, but most importantly who I am becoming. Quotes challenge me to live my life with intent (which is crazy hard some days) but at the same time to dance in the moment relishing my one wild life. Here are a few of my favorite quotes:
