To all the beautiful people 🌞
Words placed in a particular order can have a profound effect on us.
Words can bring us a moment of comfort, give us a different perspective, or change the course of our thinking and outlook entirely.
I would like this to be a space where we share quotes that have meaning to us or that have the potential to bring some comfort or encouragement to somebody, even if just for the moment in which they are reading it.
I will start.
Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow." - Mary Anne Radmacher
Go gently with yourselves lovely people.

For moments that you feel triggered or anxious, I hope the following helps you find temporary solace:
When you’re triggered, locate where you feel uncomfortable in your body. Place your hand there. Bring your breath there. Tell that part of you; “I’ve got you. I’ll breathe with you until you feel held and safe.”

Never think that you are worthless.
God has paid an enormous amount for you,
and the gifts keep arriving.

Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened. Don't open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the earth.

You're not going to master the rest of your life in one day.
Just relax. Master the day
Then just keep doing that everyday.

Hello everyone...
I hope you are all doing okay....🤗...
Life is not what happened back there or what might happen up ahead. Life is like the rhythm of the heart — every breath, every blink of the eye. It is beat by beat, moment by moment. This…is all there is. This…is all we need. ...................Andy Puddicombe

So keep building. Keep taking it one day at a time. Breathe. Things won’t be this hard forever. There’s a point beyond this pain, even if it only lasts for a few days or moments. There will be a shift. A break. Moments where existing doesn’t feel so heavy.
You will get there. You will get somewhere, even if you feel lost an directionless. This is not the end of your story.

Running up a hill is a ** until you adapt to the hill. Then it's not. The hill is the same but you are different and as a result, so is your experience. Easy or hard is about you, not the hill.
Don't wait for your hill to change.

Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.

But at the same time, I think it’s also worthwhile remembering the following:
Just because I carry it all so well doesn’t mean it’s not heavy.
