Success

This quote is a good one to remember on days like today (for me) so I thought I would share its beauty.

 

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;

This is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Rachel runs an etsy shop named after the oast houses she used to look at while sewing when she first opened her shop. She now lives in the middle of a beautiful village within walking distance to her daughters Waldorf school with plenty of time to connect and craft with like minded folks.

    Awesome quote! If everyone lived by those rules earth would be a better place! I got so frustrated the other day when I was driving the children to school. Everyone in that parking lot was so darn selfish and wouldn’t let people in or out. Simple kindness goes a long way…
