" #PleaseStealThese "  -- Lucki
Some really nice ones there. THANK YOU for keeping me on the mailing list. -- Kim Bowden-Kerby

This year's quotes alternate between the rooms of recovery and the words of various people quoted in Twigs of a Family Tree [What?] and The Three Onenesses [What?]. Plus the usual baker's dozen for Baha'i events, focusing on Baha'u'llah's Words of Wisdom and with a nod to the 12 Steps. Feel free to copy/paste any images anywhere. Your social media, emails, a card, poster, T-shirt, whatever. But just for your personal use, not $-making. Please don't crop credit lines. Do use hashtags. And enjoy!

If we don't strive to care more, we'll care less 'til we become careless of others and outselves. If we can't learn to love more, we'll love less 'til we're loveless.

If we don't bother to hope for more, especially for others, we'll hope for less 'til we're hopeless. #Faith #Hope #Love #TwigsOfAFamilyTree		 x
