    Beautiful set. I like that you don’t have a total disregard for the past, but a learning from the past.

      Ah, Terri, thank you for your comment. I believe our past can define us in many ways and it is up to us to take learning points from it!

    I love this one Vidya! So often we let our past dictate our future simply because it’s the comfort zone that we’ve created for ourselves. It’s so important to push past this a little each day if we want to create the amazing future that awaits us!Thank you for this one!

    • Vidya Sury Vidya Sury February 22, 2012

      Yes, Paige, you’re right. Life would be so mediocre if we did not stretch ourselves. Thank you for stopping by!
