    Thank you Shawn. I don’t tell you often enough how much I enjoy the quotes. I fell in love with quotes in my high school English class. My teacher wrote one on the board each day. I didn’t realize until many years later what a gift he had given me. Thankfully I was able to let him know this and to Thank him for his gift. I just had my 50th class reunion and it’s amazing how many of my classmates felt the same way.

      That’s awesome, Lois. I always think of chalk board quotes as being a very useful way to influence young minds in a positive way; I have several people who email me to say that’s how they use my collections. I assume you wrote some down from that class and still have them today?
