I started keeping a notebook a few years ago which is simply titled, "My Quote Book." The notebook contains quotes, thoughts, and poems on subjects of various topics. I would like for this blog to be a place to inspire, and uplift not only myself, but all those who visit my Oasis. I hope you enjoy!
