“But above all, my child, grace is choosing love when faced with hate.”

He speaks to me with his heart. and my heart cannot help but listen.

This place, this moment is the most peaceful and the most beautiful I have ever known.

I’ve heard it said that to love completely is to lose yourself. How can that be? when loving you is discovering myself over and over again.

The only castle you were ever meant to live in, my child, is the one that’s always existed in your soul.

Love. There are no barriers against its infinite power, my child, save for those we impose upon ourselves.

Yes, my child, in this world, following your heart, remaining true to your soul, is sometimes the bravest thing you’ll ever do.

Recovery isn’t an end-game. It’s an every day, by the grace of God, I choose me, I choose them, I’ve come this far, I will not go back, war for my soul that I will not lose.

It’s his soul that speaks to me.

They never told us love would be easy. They only showed us love would always be enough.

You don’t need to define this moment, my child. You need only live it.

Be gentle with yourself, my child. In your hands you hold all that is precious within you.

But it was the way he loved me that made me want to stay forever.

Love worth reaching for. Worth hurting for. Worth dying for. This love worth fighting for. And worth staying for.

Great is Your presence, Lord. Great is Your peace. Great is Your truthfulness. Blessed be are we.

One of the things that makes him so incredibly beautiful to me is the way he loves so completely.

It’s no wonder we’ve always sought the sky. After all, my child, our souls were meant to fly.

For the people that I love I only have one face but for some people we can’t have one face.

Every time you’re faced with something ugly, focus on something beautiful. What you focus on expands. Only you can change your reality.

If there are people who sense they are facing inequality, it is the role of politics to shed light on them.

If history teaches anything, it teaches that self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly.

I try to stay in a constant state of confusion just because of the expression it leaves on my face.

To remain indifferent to the challenges we face is indefensible.

Make sure when adversity comes your way, your family sees you smiling in its face!

The more you face challenges, the less you fear them.
