"I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations." - George Bernard Shaw
There are three authors/thinkers/writers who always sing to me. They are Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw and Paulo Coehlo. You'll likely find lots of tidbits from them all here as I turn to them for inspiration and hope.
About Me
- AmandaWithAMission
- The Blue Dot, in a Very Red State, United States
- Like most of us, I'm a blend of different people to different people. First and foremost, I am a 35 year old mother to two wonderful children. I am an RN, a triathlete, and a writer. I am a daughter to a logical and fun father who I am exactly like and a kind and perceptive mother who I aspire to be like. I'm proud to call some phenomenal people my friends and I'm newly single, trying to manage the wild web of dating. The purpose of this blog is to share my writing, perhaps some random thoughts, quotes from other people that I love and some general silliness. What can I say, I'm on a mission!
