Thanks to alceptress for nominating me for the three-day quote challenge!

“What’s worthwhile is never easy.”
This applies to anything — from sports to writing to whatever your passion may be. There are no shortcuts; we have to put in the work.
Today I’m nominating Blooming Laura and anotetohuguette. The rules: post three quotes across three different days, link to my blog, and nominate two new bloggers, if you choose to do so 🙂
