When you have something to do life will not allow you to ove foward until you do it.
I'm moving into that eldership age, you know? I'm at the 'wise woman' age where it's not about learning, but utilizing the information that I have in a way that serves other people. That's a high calling and it's a great responsibility.
The best students get the hardest lessons.
When you refuse to pay attention to what life is saying to you, life will make its point very clear. Life wants us to be aware of ourselves so we can make the necessary adjustments in order to live more harmoniously.
The life you want is on the other side of the labor pains it takes to birth it.
If you see crazy coming, cross the street!
You never put her in your heart.
A wound needs air in order to heal. We must talk about and expose those things which have hurt or harmed us in some way. Our wounds need nurturing care in order to heal. If we are to nurture and heal, we must admit that the wounds exist. We must carefully do what is necessary to help ourselves feel better.
Embrace the truth. Speak the truth. Be the truth. When we welcome the truth, we live our lives like it's golden.
You`re making it about them. This has got about you, because you don`t have peace
Trying to prove something to someone is never a valid reason for doing anything.
Forgiveness is not about the other person or what they did. Forgiveness is for YOU and about YOU.
What I am doing; how I am being as I am doing it; and does it bring honor to my community? What is the lesson in what I am doing? And most importantly, am I having fun?
I have a body, but I am not my body. I have a face, but I am not my face.
