Saw this quote in the photography prompt and had to re-post. My peace is definitely on this today.

Writer’s Quote Wednesday + Three Day Quote Challenge Day #3
Hello there loves, this Writer’s Quote Wednesday I will be combining WQW with the final day of my Special Three Day Quote Challenge. Special thank you again to Roo for nominating me for the challenge. I hope you don’t mind my special twist on the initial challenge :).
I hope that my quotes these past days have been an inspiration and a strength to you. Since Writer’s Quote Wednesday is the last day of this challenge for me, I will combine this challenge with that weekly prompt so as not to overwhelm you with quotes.
I will also not explain the quotes as usual. Instead, I want to know what you think of the quote. What comes to your mind, how would you interpret it and all that good stuff. OK, we ready? Here we go.

My Special Three Day Quote Challenge, Day #1
Okie Dokie, it appears I have been nominated for some awesome stuff over the weekend. First, let’s start with the 3 Day Quote Challenge from the beautiful Judith Roo at Roos Ruse.
Challenge Rules:
1. Post three consecutive days.
2. You can pick one or three quotes per day.
3. Challenge three different bloggers per day.
This challenge is actually on time since I have been slacking on my quotes for this blog. However, I can’t help but implement some creativity into this. After all, it is a challenge…right? So, I hope I’m not overstepping my bounds, but can I twist this up a lil bit? Yesss.
I have decided to put my own spin on this challenge by:
a). Coming up with my own quotes for the next three days
b). Nominating ONE blogger a day for the next three days.
I have seen this challenge quite a bit in the blogosphere and we all know that while repetition is good, things do tend to get a little stale when repeated. I also think this is more exciting because each blogger will have their own day to shine.
Over the next three days, I hope that my quotes are an inspiration and a strength to you. Since Writer’s Quote Wednesday is the last day of this challenge for me, I will combine this challenge with that weekly prompt so as not to overwhelm you with quotes. This means that blogger will get double exposure when they are featured in this weeks episode of Writer’s Quote Wednesday. You can choose to participate and follow the traditional rules, my rules, or not participate at all. It’s completely up to you.
I will also not explain the quotes as usual. Instead, I want to know what you think of the quote. What comes to your mind, how would you interpret it and all that good stuff. OK, we ready? Here we go.
Quote #1 – Day #1

I challenge the following blogger for this special edition quote challenge:
As for the rest of you, what do you think this quote means? I challenge you to leave a comment on the table.
Be Good To Yourself
“Being good to myself allows me to be good to others. I can’t neglect myself and expect to be of service to anyone.”
I saw this quote on twitter a couple weeks ago and its sooo true. Always remember to be good to yourself so you can be a light to others. Sometimes you just have to be a little bit selfish and it’s nothing to feel guilty about. A little neglect ain’t never hurt nobody lol. If you neglect yourself however, you can never be there to help others. How you care for your own needs and tend to the perpetual refreshening of your own mind will determine if you have what it takes to spark a revolution in others. In the words of Maya Angelou, “be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt”. How can you love me if you don’t love yourself first? Growth is the key and love is always the drive.

Writer’s Quote Wednesday – Break
I am taking this month (December, ’15) off for Writer’s Quote Wednesday. I will still post quotes as is my custom on this blog but I will not be participating in the weekly WQW posting as is hosted by Colleen of Silver Threading. The next few months are extremely busy for me so you may notice my posts lessen a bit in general. I believe its important to know your limits and to, as fellow blogger Whitney so eloquently put it, not to be an empty cup. If your no good to yourself you cannot be of service to others. That said, for those of you who I still owe book reviews I have not forgotten and intend to publish them either before years end or January at the latest. As for WQW, I will return in the new year time permitting, when I return from my end of the year travels.
Peace and Love

Read Out loud to Detect Writing Mistakes
I totally agree with Ezine Articles (who tend to have great writing tips overall). I have noticed this, the benefits of reading out loud to detect errors, in my own experiences. I wrote an article about it some time ago and just re-spinned the post recently. You can read about my thoughts on reading out loud verses reading silently here.
