“stand often in the company of dreamers: they tickle your common sense & believe you can achieve things which are impossible.”

“speak quietly to yourself & promise there will be better days. whisper gently to yourself and provide assurance that you really are extending your best effort. console your bruised and tender spirit with reminders of many other successes. offer comfort in practical and tangible ways - as if you were encouraging your dearest friend. recognize that on certain days the greatest grace is that the day is over and you get to close your eyes. tomorrow comes more brightly...”

“The jump is so frightening between where I am and where I want to be... because of all I may become I will close my eyes and leap!”

“As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way.”

“it is (often) the quiet gesture which carries the most significance - the one which suddenly directs the symphony.”

“living eulogy.she danced.she sang. she took.she gave.she loved.she created.she dissented. she enlivened.she saw. she grew. she sweated.she changed.she learned. she laughed.she shed her skin.she bled on the pages of her days,she walked through walls,she lived with intention.”

“There is no small act of kindness.Every compassionate act makes large the world.”

“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow.”

“I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.”

“Courage doesn't always roar, sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day whispering 'I will try again tomorrow”

“Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.”
