40 Quotes to Inspire Achievement, Balance & Contentment

Hi, Readers,

Welcome to my new blog, Persephone Rising: Simple Tips to Reinvent Your Life and Escape "Hell" For Good! I thought the Ides of March would be a propitious time to stealth launch my blog, while I work out some of the kinks. I will publicly announce the blog next week. My intention is to post every Wednesday afternoon at 2pm (EST), initially, and then add additional posts as time goes by. 

My blog will be consist of tips, techniques, life hacks, life lessons, and practical advice intended to help readers move beyond inertia, think deeply about where they want to be in the full spectrum of their lives, and create action plans to get there and stay there. And since I'll be writing the posts, there will usually be a touch of humor!

 My hope is to inspire, inform, and entertain you, and I also want to learn from my readers' shared experiences and knowledge. There will be a comment section below that I'm working on installing, as well as a sign up page for blog and other notifications. Please feel free to write whatever is on your mind--I'd love to hear your feedback and comments!

Finally, as this blog came to fruition through my own pursuit of an ideal life, I'll be including a recipe each week that will eventually be adapted for my online cookbook--one of many dreams and passions that I'm currently pursuing! 

I'll be back next week with my first Simple Tip to Reinvent Your Life and Escape "Hell" for Good! But in the meantime, please enjoy 40 of my favorite inspirational and motivational quotes. Whenever I need a boost, one of these will always lift my spirits and get me back on track.

Until next week,

To Your Success!

Christopher
