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

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.

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

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.

Maybe all these stars carry the souls of those we’ve lost. And our countless wishes carry all the love we never got to give them. Maybe.

Without acceptance, I would have never known freedom. Without surrender, I would have never known peace. And without dying to myself, I would have never known what it truly means to live.

She is wise, but still learning. She is brave, but ever thoughtful. She is deep, but still has oceans left to fill.

Of this, i am certain, my heart begins and ends with him.

I think life is perverse. It can be beautiful, but it won’t.

Books -where if people suffered, they suffered in beautiful language, not in monosyllables.

Behind every beautiful thing, there’s some kind of pain.

Beauty lay not in the thing, but in what the thing symbolized.

Beauty is no handicap if you don’t think about it.

Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.

Thanks Darling for the beautiful flowers and all the prayers. Now can you just get my puppy past security?

If you can learn to use your mind as well as your powder puff, you will become more truly beautiful.
