"Our deeds still travel with us from afar, and what we have been makes us what we are." —George Eliot 🌸 This quote was on the front of the journal I had when I first went to Chile, over 20 years ago, on the University of California's Education Abroad program. ❤️ I spent hours with that journal, looking at the picture of Mary Ann Evans (George Eliot was her pen name), and thinking about the choices she must have made, and the choices I was making. 📖 I know this quote by heart, and it has popped into my mind many times over the years, as a friend to help me remember who I've been and to remind me that who I choose to be now affects who I will be later. 🌱 I give it to you as a gift. ☀️ May it bring you happiness as you reflect on who you have been, and may it bring you motivation to focus on what matters as you choose who to be now. 💖 #quotes #inspiration #stayInspired #motivation #rememberWhyYouStarted #youCanDoIt #quotestagram #AnswerTheCallToCreate #YourWritingMatters #KeikoOLeary #GeorgeEliot #MaryAnnEvans #publicDomanQuotes #nostalgia #thinkingAboutYourWholeLife #creativeLife #writingLife #artistLife #liveYourArt #liveAsAProtagonist #chooseWhatMatters https://www.instagram.com/p/CmuXf_3PUpz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
