Here are some uplifting quotes to stay strong during tough times –  no matter how much “you gotta be freakin’ kidding me” life throws at you!

I’m a bestselling author, award winning designer, and recovered stress sufferer. So I decided to create a range of uplifting quotes with images – to inspire people dealing with stressful times.

You’ll find uplifting quotes for women – as well as men.

Plus you’ll find poignant, healing uplifting sayings – as well as funny uplifting quotes.

My mission for these uplifting quotes:

• Inspire you to remain strong – even when you have every right to break down.
