It's one of those days...

when what is needed is a hug, and words that reinforce, soothe...and maybe even allow me to cry a little...


"The best things in life happen to you when you’re alone.” ~ Artist Agnes Margin

"I came to see that what constitutes strength is not just muscle or will. It can also include the most desperate vulnerability, the saddest heartache, the lightest, sweetest laughter." ~ Brenda Shaughnessy

"Things get broken, and sometimes they get repaired, and in most cases, you realize that no matter what gets damaged, life rearranges itself to compensate for your loss, sometimes wonderfully." ~ Hanya Yanagihara

“Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free." ~ Rumi

“In every human Breast, God has implanted a principle, which we call Love of Freedom; it is impatient of Oppression, and pants for Deliverance.” ~ Poet and onetime slave Phillis Wheatley

"A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses." ~ James Allen

"Do not underestimate yourself. That picture you have in your head of the person you want to be, know that it is within your grasp to become it this year. It won’t happen overnight, and yes there will be moments where we will fall. But with a strong trust in the Light within us, we can pick ourselves back up knowing we will get there eventually, and that even a misstep it is still a step towards our destiny." ~ Kabbalah

“Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you.” ~ Unknown


"O Great Spirit Whose voice I hear in the winds, And whose breath
gives life to all the world, hear me! I am small and weak. I need your
strength and wisdom. Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever
behold the red and purple sunset." 

~ From PRAYER TO THE GREAT SPIRIT
