Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. ~Maria Robinson

Do you remember the story about the princess kissing a frog to find her prince? What a wonderful reminder for us to be nonjudgmental towards others in our lives, for we never really know what gifts and blessings they have to offer us.
A frog represents the simplicity of life ... but more importantly the frog is a reminder to be nonjudgmental and compassionate ... to yourself -- be mindful of your self-messages ... and in your reactions to others.
In Japanese symbolism the frog represents energy, perseverance, determination, and resolve.
