“You don’t need to go far to find beauty. – you just need to start seeing yourself.”

We all start off afraid.

Give yourself time to rest + heal + then rise.

Do not settle in the dirt. Get up and make something from it.

Kind people aren’t doormats.

Boundaries aren’t walls to keep people out, they are tools to let the right energy in.

We heal in a community, take my hand and I’ll take yours.

Distressed but not defeated.

Better yourself. Don’t belittle yourself.

It’s okay to know what you want, it’s equally okay to be fighting it out well.

Mistakes happen to refine us, not define us.

Things do not have to be shiny and loud, to be important.

Don’t rob the world of who you are by trying to be someone else.

We grow by being present, not by being perfection.

Get rid of the idea that your healing is tied to someone else’s apology.

Teach boys that manhood is not determined by how often they hold back their tears.

If they don’t value you, someone else will.

She may know a little, may think of herself, face and body, as ‘pretty’ but he could never tell her all the rest, how many other living things, birds, nights smelling of grass and rain, sunlit moments of simple peace, also gather in what she is to him.

The beauty of things must be that they end.

I don’t know about changing my perspective, because motherhood is such a glorious blessing and I am very thankful for that. It is such a beautiful experience. I so strongly recommend it. It’s bliss, love, and fulfillment of another level.

The emerging woman will be strong-minded, strong-hearted, strong-souled, and strong-bodied strength and beauty must go together.

It requires a certain kind of mind to see beauty in a hamburger bun.

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.

I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy.

The power of finding beauty in the humblest things makes home happy and life lovely.
