While creating a lifebook for her birth daughter, my friend Brandy, recalls feeling that it was lacking something.

After much thought, she decided to add quotes that she found meaningful all through out the pages of the lifebook. It turned out beautiful and Brandy has agreed to share some of those quotes with us. Maybe one or two will touch you and find their way inside the pages of your child’s lifebook.

“One hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove or what kind of clothes I wore. All that will matter is that I made a difference in the life of a child." ~ Forrest Witcraff

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away."

"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break. " ~ Ancient Chinese Belief (On this page, Brandy put an actual red thread around the page border.)

“Children and mothers never truly part, bound together by the beating of one another’s heart.” ~ Charlotte Gray

"Climb every mountain, ford every stream, follow every rainbow, till you find your dream."

”The best things in life are the places we have been, the people we love, and the memories we have made along the way.”

And this concludes my lifebook series!

thanks Coley for sharing - I've saved these posts for my reference, as well I am going to ask my son's b.mom if she would be interested in doing one when she has some time.

I really like the quotes printed today, as well as your last post with the different links.
