Melody Beattie quotes about
caring people answers
What's a codependent? The answer's easy. They're some of the most loving, caring people I know.
heart soul answers
I trust so much in the power of the heart and the soul; I know that the answer to what we need to do next is in our own hearts. All we have to do is listen, then take that one step further and trust what we hear. We will be taught what we need to learn.
Some therapists have proclaimed: 'Co-dependency is anything, and everyone is co-dependent.'

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

doe heal who-you-are
Who you are is love. What love does is heal.

Worrying, obsessing, and controlling are illusions. They are tricks we play on ourselves.

We are on a very rich emotional and physical journey on this planet.
prayer life-changing miracle
Prayer changes things. Prayer changes us. Prayer changes life. Sometimes an event has been manifested that needs to be stopped, midair. Don't pray just when you're in trouble. Pray every day. Surround yourself with prayer. You never know when you might need an extra miracle.
self-esteem past forgiving
Embrace and love all of yourself - past, present, and future. Forgive yourself quickly and as often as necessary. Encourage yourself. Tell yourself good things about yourself.
pain loving-someone profound
...the pain that comes from loving someone who's in trouble can be profound.
