"Where you have eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to feel, you can reach out and rescue others." -Thomas S. Monson
"The gospel of Jesus Christ is another name for opportunity."

Here is a link for the new year: The Quote Pond http://www.theripplesproject.org/pond
I am a a collector of beauty and inspiration. I save pictures (especially from calendars), take photos trying to capture the moment (though it is never quite as it was experienced), and collect sayings that touch my heart or impart wisdom. This is my way of hoarding those things I'm afraid of losing. I must realize the things that touch me are really never lost, and the moment cannot be held exactly as it is experienced, but words seem the easiest way to hold the moment, because they are interpreted personally as they impact or teach us. This is why I am encouraging everyone to gather words to send ripples of goodness into the world. It is similar to Random Acts of Kindness shttp://www.randomactsofkindness.org/
People say a picture is worth a thousand words because it helps us to see something in all of its wonder and glory that is hard to describe in words. I believe another picture can be painted with words that are worth a thousand pictures. A word spoken or strung together in an amazing way, often received by its author in a spirit of enlightenment, revelation or inspiration, can convey countless images and feelings in our hearts and minds.
And so--I give you at least a thousand quotes to experience throughout 2014 and a project to begin making ripples in your life! Leave quotes in places that people can find them and be uplifted or encouraged. Send quotes specifically to touch someone who needs it. Have fun being like the pebble that makes only one small splash, but radiates unending ripples into the universe.

Have fun in 2014!
