Reflections on Life, Love & Liberty: Inspiration, Motivation, and Valuable Tips for Life by Teresa Abney. Dare to Believe, Change, Dream, Feel, Find, Hope, and Love.

Words have the power to encourage. Words have the power to heal. Words have the power to move you forward when you’re stuck in a rut. The most important things in life are not things; they are people. Individuals come to be, and then they pass away. A word or friend, in a time of need, comes from unexpected places.

Whatever you do in life, do it to the best of your ability, and you’ll find strength and encouragement in unlikely places, spurring you to make changes.

Waiting for a change—Do you still sit and do nothing, or do you put the wheels in motion for your expected change? Once things are on the right track, they will continue to improve over time.

What seems to be a never-ending journey has become a source of common sense. I hope that you will be liberated by laughter, insight, and pondering; thus, I will have done my job.

“Make sure you use what God teaches you. Share with others.” ~Aunt Cora

President Biden’s Farewell Address: "I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. That's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people and the dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked. Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead."

"Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation, enabling the abuse of power ... the truth is smothered by lies."

"After 50 years at the center of all of this, I know that believing in the idea of America means respecting the institutions that govern a free society -- the presidency, the Congress, the courts, a free and independent press ... "

"No president is immune from crimes that he or she commits while in office."

“I still believe in the idea for which this nation stands. A nation where the strength of our institutions and the character of our people matter. They must endure. Now it's your turn to stand guard."

"In a democracy, there's another danger to the concentration of power & wealth. It erodes the sense of unity & common purpose & causes distrust and division. Participating in our democracy becomes exhausting and even disillusioning ... we have to stay engaged in the process"

"After 50 years of public service, I give you my word: I still believe in the idea for which this nation stands ... now it's your turn to stand guard. May you be the keeper of the flame. May you keep the faith. I love America. You love it too. God bless you all."

"Now it's your turn to stand guard. May you all be the keeper of the flame. May you keep the faith. I love America. You love it, too. God bless you all. May God protect our troops. Thank you for this great honor."

President Biden Announces Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Deal. Three-Phase Proposal for a Durable Peace in the Middle East. "This is the exact framework of the deal I proposed back in May," Biden said. "Secondly, it's America's support for Israel that helped them badly weaken Hamas and its backers and create the conditions for this deal. And thirdly, I knew this deal would have to be implemented by the next team. So I told my team to coordinate closely with the incoming team to make sure we're all speaking with the same voice, because that's what American presidents do." President Biden.

Statement from Vice President Kamala Harris: “Thanks to the leadership of President Joe Biden, a ceasefire and hostage deal has been reached between Israel and Hamas. I thank the mediators—Emir al-Thani of Qatar and President el-Sisi of Egypt—and I am grateful for the work of U.S. officials whose diligent diplomacy allowed us to arrive at this significant moment.”
