You know I have a thing for quotes, but what I haven’t mentioned is that some of my favorites quotes are about writing. I recently discovered a few new quotes to love, through a lovely Etsy shop called Sparrow Nest Script that sells small, beautiful, hand-lettered journals.
“A word after a word after a word is power.” Margaret Atwood
“Tears are words that need to written.” Paulo Coelho – I know not everyone is this way, but writing in a journal helps me process my life. I rarely cry but I regularly write. Without it, I wouldn’t know myself nearly as well as I do. And because of it, I am continually learning more about myself, how I interact with others, and who I want to become.
“A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.” Maya Angelou – Love this! Here at Let Why Lead, I don’t claim to have the answers, but I do have a song! Writing about motherhood and marriage allows me to sing, and when I’m very lucky, answers come through it.
Thank you for reading, and good luck in your own writing ventures! Now maybe I’ll have to go order one of these journals…
Oooh! I always love a good quote! More! More!
Me too! I will have no trouble fulfilling your “more! more!” request!
I’m such a sucker for an inspiring quote! Thanks for sharing these. I’ll have to keep them close to inspire me when I feel like the words just won’t come!
Pinning this! Love it!
Just stumbled on this post and it completely made my day — thank you so much for the sweet feature, Erica! xo
Certainly, Emily! I was meaning reach out to you through etsy just to tell you I loved your products. I’m glad you found me here! Beautiful work!
