I don’t know about you, but at any given time on any given day, I have a lot of good intentions aimed in a lot of different directions. For example, while I am first and foremost an author, I am also an animal rescuer with 11 critters to tend to daily here at Pixie Dust Ranch. I also work part-time as a marketing specialist and editor. I’m studying to get my real estate license and I’m taking a comprehensive online marketing course. I’m a book publisher and I manage a 40 acre off-grid parcel where I live in the woods. And I try and stay close with my adult children and my “glamkids,” even though distance and our hectic lifestyles sometimes hinder those efforts.

To keep up with all of these challenges, I constantly must “re-focus” daily, to wear so many hats!

In order to keep on going with my myriad of projects, I often glean the wisdom of others who have gone before me. Here is a list of 30 quotes I find inspiring that help me “keep on keepin’ on.”
