Family is the place where acceptance and validation are most needed, but often the hardest to find.

Problems occur when we tie our peace of mind to another's state of mind.

You can't 'cope with' change anymore than you can 'manage' stress.

There are two ways to make someone important in our lives ... we can either love them or hate them.

Stress is an indicator of our belief in the value and validity of our worries and fears.

Regardless of what is being discussed . . . the issue is never more important than the quality of the interaction.

There are only three things we 'have to' do in this world we have to be born, we have to die, and we have to live until we die. Everything else is a choice!
