Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“Summer has a flavor like no other. Always fresh and simmered in sunshine.” — Oprah Winfrey
(Ehh! Summer is mostly a little too steamy, for my liking. I like things a little cooler, and dryer. To each their own! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.” — Oprah Winfrey
(I wonder if Oprah actually comes up with all of the witticisms that are attributed to her, or if some of them came from her writing staff? Either way, this is good advice. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Happy Birthday, Alicia!
“A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.” — Oprah Winfrey
(Maybe Rebecca is getting these quotes from Pinterest! You know, Oprah is a pretty cool, and extremely successful, woman, but I’m not finding all of her quotes all that quote-worthy. For me, the first sentence of this quote is completely unnecessary. The second sentence definitely has more merit to it. What do you guys think? Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Cheers to the new year and another chance for us to get it right.” — Oprah Winfrey
(Pretty much every quote has its roots in an earlier quote. But, a positive quote is a thing of beauty! Be happy, healthy, well and prosperous in this new year, folks! And, always strive to do good.) — YUR

“It doesn’t matter who you are, or where you come from. The ability to triumph begins with you.” — Oprah Winfrey
(Sure, it has to begin with you. But, there are scads of people who tried their darnedest, but just couldn’t make it. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire.” — Oprah Winfrey
(Great quote! Although, I don’t really consider falling from the high wire tumbling. Tumbling is more like somersaults, or tripping over something. Me fall down, go boom. Falling from a high wire can be downright fatal. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more.” — Oprah Winfrey
(Maybe not financially, but at least spiritually. Grateful people are generally happier people. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job and not be paid for it.” — YUR
(I don’t think Oprah came up with this quote when she was a struggling, low-level reporter. Unless you’ve made boatloads of money already . . . everybody wants to be paid. And, could we take a break from all these “success” quotes, please? The word is just so identifiable, no matter the cipher. It becomes like a key to the entire Cryptoquote. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” — Oprah Winfrey
(Fairly standard Oprah-fare. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
“Step out of the history that is holding you back. Step into the new story you are willing to create.” — Oprah Winfrey
(Whether, or not, we’re fans of history, our own pasts seem to have a strange hold on us. But, we do have it within us to create our own stories. We can transcend our histories by putting our minds to it. Thank you, Ms. Winfrey! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
