There is a lot of healing going on. Really! More people are vegetarians, more are in the green movement, more of us are tearing down the old paradigms and embracing same-sex marriage, single motherhood, men raising babies.
I'm focusing on healing lives and teaching people that they can heal - giving them tools to heal.
When you enter a new experience, all that requires healing rushes to the surface . . . You have to pause.
Tell your story because your story will heal you and it will heal someone else.
If you don't have a test, you won't be able to have a testimony.
Acknowledgemen t of what you feel, what you know, what you need is the first step toward healing.
Healing is the application of love.
You're never healing the level you're on. You're always healing the level you came from. For example, you know things today that you didn't know in your first marriage.
When you find yourself in a new situation, everything that requires healing is going to rush to the surface.
Forgiveness leads to a shift in perception. It transforms the hurt into healing.
Until you heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed
It’s self-full to be first, to be as good as possible to you. To take care of you, keep you whole and healthy. That doesn’t mean you disregard everything and everyone. But you want to come with your cup full. You know: ‘My cup runneth over.’ What comes out of the cup is for y’all. What’s in the cup is mine. But I’ve got to keep my cup full.
Everyone is always looking for their beloved. Well, why can't you be your own beloved? Fall in love with yourself.
Feminine power is silent, dark, mysterious, healing, nurturing. A woman can walk into a room and control it. She doesn't even have to open her mouth if she knows where her power is.
