"My childhood was very difficult. I had every childhood disease and then some, but my parents didn't mollycoddle me. They left me to fight those battles on my own. I guess that was very Canadian, very stoic. But it's good. I had to become a warrior. I had to give up hope and find a substitute for hope that would be far more stable."

-Joni Mitchell

"I've learned in my life.. not to chase happy...
but instead chase what you love... live what you love.
Take what you love in moderation and give it back in moderation,
leaving samples for yourself alone the way...” -W.C....”

Genesis · 12-21-2015, 11:48 AM

Some days need a little extra surrender.
A little more leaning away from expectation and into acceptance;
both for what is and who we find ourselves to be that day.
The art of it is to see the beauty that's there through the clouds.
For just as the sun is never gone, just obscured from view now and again,
beauty is there to be found, even when our heavy hearts blind us to it.
Just be...breathe....shower yourself in self-love and compassion,
and open your eyes. See there...now let it in, allow today,
and yourself to just be. This is such a day for me, we all have them...
go gentle on yourself. You are so very loved.

Genesis · 12-21-2015, 12:23 PM

“I know people have lost trust, but you can’t lose trust in life and not lose trust in yourself.
We have to remain willing to do whatever is required
when it is required to get what it is that we desire for ourselves,
for our community, for our children.
We give up way too soon. We stop marching, we stop asking, we stop promoting those values and principles.
You can’t give up hope in America without giving up hope in yourself.
So I would say, keep doing what is required.”
- Iyanla Vanzant

Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of [her] heart,
and that depends upon how much [she] has polished it.
Whoever has polished it more sees more - more unseen forms become manifest to [her].

~ Rumi
