Motivational quotes of the year
Quick question: are you a Better Raw fan on Facebook? How about Twitter? LinkedIn?
I post either some stupendously good Raw Food Tips or my favourite quotes there daily, so get following for regular inspirations!
I love this sort of stuff, it keeps me going and gets me really inspired! Hearing really good motivational quotations never gets old... so I'm devoting a whole post to some of my favourite updates over an entire year...
I just hope it's not too weird that I listed myself as the quoter once or twice, but then again so many of you did seem to 'like' those words on Facebook a fair bit.
Lots of love and inspiration flying your way,
