....in a time lacking in truth and certainty and filled with despair, no woman should be shamefaced in attempting to give back to the world, through her work, a portion of it's lost heart. ❤️

Daily Question
"How can I treat myself better today than I did yesterday?" |
It's never what you say, but how you make it sound sincere.--Marya Mannes

It bears repeating.
“When someone tells me "no," it doesn't mean I can't do it, it simply means I can't do it with them.” ― Karen E. Quinones Miller

“Dignity
/ˈdignitē/ noun 1. The moment you realize that the person you cared for has nothing intellectually or spiritually to offer you, but a headache. 2. The moment you realize God had greater plans for you that don’t involve crying at night or sad Pinterest quotes. 3. The moment you stop comparing yourself to others because it undermines your worth, education and your parent’s wisdom. 4. The moment you live your dreams, not because of what it will prove or get you, but because that is all you want to do. People’s opinions don’t matter. 5. The moment you realize that no one is your enemy, except yourself. 6. The moment you realize that you can have everything you want in life. However, it takes timing, the right heart, the right actions, the right passion and a willingness to risk it all. If it is not yours, it is because you really didn’t want it, need it or God prevented it. 7. The moment you realize the ghost of your ancestors stood between you and the person you loved. They really don't want you mucking up the family line with someone that acts anything less than honorable. 8. The moment you realize that happiness was never about getting a person. They are only a helpmate towards achieving your life mission. 9. The moment you believe that love is not about losing or winning. It is just a few moments in time, followed by an eternity of situations to grow from. 10. The moment you realize that you were always the right person. Only ignorant people walk away from greatness.” - Shannon L. Adler |

"Live less out of habit and more out of intent." |
"Live with kindness, integrity and spirituality. Comport yourself with grace under pressure. Be an asset in the lives of others. Put people before things and live from your heart. Be intelligent, but know it is better to be kind than smart. Be a peacemaker who values peace and takes peace everywhere you go. Learn to understand your energy and how you create with your energy. Have among your priorities the characteristics of politeness, compassion and patience. Avoid making rash assumptions. Be a believer in true love. Seek deep communication with others and with yourself. Laugh and make the best of every situation. Understand that life is not perfect. Be whole enough to love and to be loved. When you find real love — protect and preserve the sweetness and intimacy of your gift. Make your home a heaven on Earth." -Bryant McGill |
I keep trusting You
"You are so trusting and it’s miraculous,” My friend says and I shrug. “I guess.” Though I don’t find it a miracle. Miracles look like tiny bodies beating Leukemia or mothers lifting up massive cars to protect their babies after an accident, Like my father’s belly laugh and my lioness matriarch continuing to provide when his laughter is forever sealed in a wooden box. Nothing about me looks like miracle. I’m a boiling pot of salted wounds, broken shards of the person I once was. Before. Now I leave out buckets for tears and tennis shoes at the door because I’ll run when my eyelids get too leaky. My fingers have calluses on them from playing guitar but I like the way it feels. It is the only part of me that hardens. I will always be the one with a bloodied heart and I prefer it that way. I unzip any layer of protection surrounding wounds without a single strip of gauze in sight. I wear a purple heart. Which makes sense. It is my favorite color. I tell her I’d rather stitch myself back together than never know how it feels to come apart for someone wonderful. And it’s true I came apart for someone wonderful. I’m still finding remnants of you scattered throughout my room, A miracle of a man who I trust again and again even when I know it’s a rarity that miracles do come true. " -Eastman |
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” ― Lao Tzu

“A lie is an affront to the soul, as well as an insult to the intelligence of the person to whom one lies.” ― Judith McNaught

“A rumor is a social cancer: it is difficult to contain and it rots the brains of the masses. However, the real danger is that so many people find rumors enjoyable. That part causes the infection. And in such cases when a rumor is only partially made of truth, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly where the information may have gone wrong. It is passed on and on until some brave soul questions its validity; that brave soul refuses to bite the apple and let the apple eat him. Forced to start from scratch for the sake of purity and truth, that brave soul, figuratively speaking, fully amputates the information in order to protect his personal judgment. In other words, his ignorance is to be valued more than the lie believed to be true.” ― Criss Jami

The evil that is in the world almost always comes from ignorance,
And good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding. In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer. ~Albert Camus |
Old minds are like old horses; you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order.
John Adams |
