The first time I picked up one of these sugar packets to sweeten my coffee, it sweetened my day. I was so impressed by the idea of Sugar for the Soul because that's exactly what quotes are...Quotes help get me through the days with a purpose..I meditate on quotes much like others do with bible verses...it's my way of connecting with Spirit. They truly are Sugar for the Soul. So while the concept is not mine, I do not mind borrowing it (I hope they don't mind); here is a collection of the quotes that I have used on my homepage, my hope is that they sweeten your life as they have mine.
