A WORD FROM RBRW HOST SUPERMODEL HALL OF FAME FOUNDER LINDA MORAND

HOPE IS LIKE A BIRD THAT SENSES THE DAWN AND CAREFULLY STARTS TO SING WHILE IT IS STILL DARK. -ANONYMOUS

In celebration of the wonderful new website that is being launched I would like to share some inspirational quotes that have helped me. In starting RBRW Jacquelyn Aluotto has given hope to so many people who have no hope. She inspires celebrities, victims and everyday people to find each other and help each other. That is the only way it is going to work in this world. We all need to forget about race and class and political differences and concentrate on being human beings. With wars and natural disasters abounding we all have to toughen up and stick together. The tone of my future blogs will be to engender hope, faith and self esteem. He who has hope has everything. -Arabian Proverb Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good. -Vaclav Havel For hope is but the dream of those that wake. -Matthew Prior Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul.

-Emily Dickinson If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes. -St. Clement of Alexandra He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. -Isaiah 40:29-31 Man is a creature of hope and invention, both of which belie the idea that things cannot be changed. -Tom Clancy
