important needs sometimes
Sometimes I guess you need to lose everything before you realize what's really important.
able wreckage hammers
The word that came to me now was "defiant." Because a person had to be defiant to be able to stand amid the wreckage of her life and instead of shaking a fist, pick up a hammer.
hurt disappointment wall
Life isn't perfect. It's not supposed to be. We all make mistakes. You bash your head against the wall and you get hurt, but you walk away and make the best of it. And that's what makes it life, Brenna, not perfection. You'll never find happiness if you only expect to find a perfect life. Happiness is something we reach for while we try to learn from our disappointments.
decision vision new-life
Sometimes we make decisions because it seems to be the only path visible at the moment. It's only later that we see there was more than one path, but the others were blocked from our vision at the time. That's the thing with hindsight, you see. Even if you can see it clearly, there's no going back. It's at that point we need to turn around and stare ahead and make a new life.
sibling childhood matter
They say that not matter how old you become, when you are with your siblings, you revert back to childhood.
daughter stories needs
Every woman needs a daughter to tell her stories to.
daughter book writing
Every woman should have a daughter to tell her stories to. Otherwise, the lessons learned are as useless as spare buttons from a discarded shirt. And all that is left is a fading name and the shape of a nose or the color of hair. The men who write the history books will tell you the stories of battles and conquests. But the women will tell you the stories of people's hearts.
prayer answers asking
I know what it is to hope and pray so hard that you're sure God will answer your prayer just so you'll stop asking.
memories heart loss
Death and loss, they plague you. So do memories. Like the Mississippi's incessant slap against the levees, they creep up with deceptive sweetness before grabbing your heart and pulling it under.
sail loses
when you lose your sails, row.
letting-go memories home
But there is room now in my heart for more memories, carved by a letting go that I could find only by coming home to a place I'd never been.
rain sun shade
A life without rain is like the sun without shade.
giving stories needs
Don’t see the notes. See the music. See the story it is telling you. Allow the music to change you. Allow it to give you the courage to do whatever you need to
sometimes loses
Sometimes hope is all we have, and to lose that is to lose all.
