Meeting with Jane Gregory on Monday

Jane Gregory popped in today to make a donation and I mentioned what we were doing to raise extra money for Cancer Rsearch UK's life saving work and Jane invited me over to her Hair & Beauty salon on Monday to chat about how Jane Gregory Hair & Beauty Salon can get involved. I am so excited!

We raised another £24.31 with Winchester's Words of Wisdom this week.

Thank you to all our supporters and customers for their wise words.

Holly's Wise Words

Our lovely volunteer Holly popped in to the shop yesterday to share some of her words of wisdom.
Thanks Holly - you are indeed very wise!

• don't be afraid to be yourself. if people don't accept you, they don't belong in your life.

• Never regret the things you've done, because at that specific moment in your life it was exactly what you wanted it to be.
• ... if it is too easy, it is the usually the wrong choice. Most things worthwhile are not easy. Take the high road, tough going but worth the effort.

• Live the life you want to live. Be the person you want to remember. Make decision, Make mistakes. If you fall, At least you tried.

• old enough to know better, young enough to try again.

• Be careful with your words. Once they're said, they can only be forgiven, not forgotten.

We are Tweeting!

Words of Wisdom

I thought I'd have a look for some words of wisdom on my day off and these ones caught my eye.

• Sometimes the picture painted isn't the one that's always seen.
• You only get one shot at this game called life; so take risks, live for the moment, and don't have any regrets.
• Your true friends are the ones who don't hurt you,but love you and are there no matter how rough or long the the road is...
• ‎"when someone trusts you blindly, never prove that they are blind.."
• Some lessons are best learned through pain. And sometimes, our visions become clear only after our eyes are washed with tears.♥
• Your life is made from the decisions that you make, don't regret making a wrong one, instead learn from it, move on, and don't look back!

As for Wise Words says Lee

My dear old school friend Lee has just celebrated his birthday and shared some wise words with me:

As for wise words Karen  how about "if life was meant to be simple then we'd all die in cemetries".

Thanks Lee not sure that is all that wise!



Today's favourite saying in the book in the shop:

"You have to kiss a few frogs before you find a Prince!"

Thought for the day

We are builders of our own characters. We have different positions, spheres, capacities, privileges, different work to do in the world, different temporal fabrics to raise; but we are all alike in this, -- all are architects of fate.
