Thanks for reading them.

Oh, great quotes, Craig! ❤ Thanks for sharing, Karen! ❤
Thanks, Rachel.
I loved all three quotes, but I think #1 resonates with me the most!
Thanks Mae.

“Your book makes a promise the very first time someone sees it. It’s important to deliver on that promise.”
did not like the herd one as much – I dunno – maybe feels tired and maybe sometimes it is good to go with the herd or flow – just my mood this week I guess.
Thanks for reading them.
my pleasure – and thanks for taking the time to comment – 🙂 how humble of you ….

Excellent quotes there from Craig, Karen, but my fave is #1.
Thank you, Ali.
“If you follow the herd, you get what the herd gets. Try something different.” I like this one since it helps me feel better when I make mistakes. I always justify a bad move with “at least I tried something different.”
I make plenty of mistakes, but on occasion something works out too.
But the quote covers the path to the mistake.
Three home runs, Karen! Happy Mother’s Day!
Glad you liked them, Syl65.
Yes, very much!
Three winners, Syl! Thank you very much. 🙂
You’re welcome, Karen! 😊
They’re all good, but I’ll go with #2 since I live by those words.
Thank you, Sue. I do too, and I need some fresh ideas.

Karen invited me to provide three quotes over on her blog today. This was one of the toughest requests I’ve ever taken on. Head over and follow this amazing blogger.
Thank you very much for the praise, Craig.
It might have been a tough request – you did an excellent job!
Thanks again.
Thanks for the invitation. This was a tough request. I hope your readers like it.
You are welcome, Craig. 🙂
These are great quotes – thank you for sharing them with my readers.
I like a good challenge. Thanks for the invitation.
