Quotes by Peggy Morehouse Strack  (?)

“Maybe dream chasing is like climbing a mountain. You know, finding the trail, stepping onto it. At first you're energetic and it's easy. Then you trip over a root, face a huge boulder, or a steep incline. So you stand up after the fall, find your way around the boulder, and trudge up the vertical. Eventually, you're on top of the mountain with an expansive view of the world." ~ Michael Stlis in "A Stop in the Park”
Peggy Strack, A Stop in the Park

“There are thousands and thousands of people out there leading lives of quiet, screaming desperation, where they work long, hard hours at jobs they hate to enable them to buy things they don't need to impress people they don't like.”
Nigel Marsh

“I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.”
Anaïs Nin

“Succeeding, whatever that might mean to you, is hard, and the need to do so constantly renews itself (success is like a mountain that keeps growing ahead of you as you hike it).”
George Saunders

“You've got this life and while you've got it, you'd better kiss like you only have one moment, try to hold someone's hand like you will never get another chance to, look into people's eyes like they're the last you'll ever see, watch someone sleeping like there's no time left, jump if you feel like jumping, run if you feel like running, play music in your head when there is none, and eat cake like it's the only one left in the world!”
C. JoyBell C.

Peggy Strack Why not put "A Stop in the Park" on your summer reading list.
Here's what a recent Amazon review said, "It's a modern love story about a couple that most of us will recognize. It's a story about how societal and familial pressures can all to easily push us into accepting a role far different from our inherent destiny. It also offers a message of hope to anyone willing to confront the choices that will make their relationships whole. Thanks for not only a wonderful novel Ms Strack, but also your thoughtful look at our contemporary world."
