Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different.
What other people label or might try to call failure, I have learned is just God's way of pointing you in a new direction
I don't want anyone who doesn't want me.
With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice.
I've learned that you can't have everything and do everything at the same time.
Listen. Pay attention. Treasure every moment.
The roles we play in each other's lives are only as powerful as the trust and connection between us--the protection, safety, and caring we are willing to share.
To love yourself is a never-ending journey.
One if the hardest things in life to learn are which bridges to cross and which bridges to burn.
Dogs are my favorite role models. I want to work like a dog, doing what I was born to do with joy and purpose. I want to play like a dog, with total, jolly abandon. I want to love like a dog, with unabashed devotion and complete lack of concern about what people do for a living, how much money they have, or how much they weigh. The fact that we still live with dogs, even when we don't have to herd or hunt our dinner, gives me hope for humans and canines alike.
