Looking for a quote
A friend sent me an email asking me to help her to find something very peculiar: she wanted a quote with a “powerful message of hope, love, inspiration, and prosperity.”
Wow! I confess the first quote that came to my mind was “Jesus Saves.” But I knew it was not exactly what she was looking for…
Internet knows everything, is that right? The first website that resulted from the google search said ”What a powerful artist. … His message of hope and being the miracle we all want in our lives is … talents to impart a message of hope, love, inspiration, and joy to others. … ”
It was an article about Michael Jackson in a website from a Spiritual and Personal Development Community. Actually, very interesting website, I bookmarked it!
