“My joy matters even when others think it should not.”

I’m not sorry for choosing to grow in a different direction.

Boundaries aren’t ultimatums, they’re opportunities.

You don’t have to lose yourself so others feel like they belong.

I celebrate the way I keep going. Its not always easy and yet, here I am.

Deciding to stop letting people play you is a form of self care.

Be proud, of the way you chose not to repeat that cycle again.

When you ignore red flags, you’re not honoring your boundaries.

You don’t have to apologize for taking time for yourself.

A reminder that you don’t owe anyone any part of you.

He who kisses joy as it flies by will live in eternity’s sunrise.

One of the great undiscovered joys of life comes from doing everything one attempts to the best of one’s ability. The smallest task, well done, becomes a miracle of achievement.

With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.

In my family, there was not an abundance of wealth, but there was an abundance of love. So there was always humor, and there was joy and there was comfort and there was this environment just to have a good time.
