I shall succeed!!!
Hi, come on in! Welcome to my page. Those of you who have visited with me before will have noticed that I have done some renovations - I have replaced negativity with positivity, so to speak. Instead of the expanding list of updates each time that I had to restart after I fell off the wagon, I now have a list of my favorite quotes that I use as a tool for staying focused, determined and committed to succeed, I hope that if you do read them you too will gather motivational strength from them. ...
