Drama

And guess what, you CAN always change.  Very little drama in my life now that my ex is not in it!!

Foolish Ideas

“Most of us have foolish ideas about who we are and many, many rigid rules about how life ought to be lived.” ~Louise Hay, You Can Heal Your Life

Whatever else you do...

“Whatever else you do, listen to your Deepest self. Love Her and be true to Her, speak Her truth, always.” ~ Sue Monk Kidd’s words to her daughter when she was leaving for college.

“The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls." ~ Elizabeth Cady Staton

Our Deepest Cravings

“We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings. But, once recognized, those which do not enhance our future lose their power and can be altered. The fear of our deepest cravings keeps them suspect and indiscriminately powerful, for to suppress any truth is to give it strength beyond endurance. The fear that we cannot grow beyond whatever distortions we may find within ourselves keeps us docile and loyal and obedient, externally defined, and leads us to accept many facets of our own oppression as women.“ ~Audre Lorde

You harvest what you sow

“Every tree, every growing thing as it grows, says this truth, you harvest what you sow .” ~Rumi
