Steadfast in following my heart

On this day in 1979, two Iowa girls’ high school basketball teams played a scoreless game, 0-0 at the end of regulation. The game was won 4-2 in the fourth overtime period.
The most essential factor is persistence, the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dampened by discouragement.”
– James Whitcomb Riley, 19th century American poet, known for children’s poetry
Affirmative prayer: Today I remember the truth of my being, that the Divine breathed its breath into me when I was created. I shall live this day in the spirit of love and wholeness, to be steadfast in following my inspired heart, and in my efforts to serve others. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
