When everything around you seems bleak, sick and empty - the antidote is forgiveness and love of yourself, and others, plus a dollop of gratitude.

I may not be perfect but I am perfect enough to be a very good rendition of me.

When the world around you is falling to pieces. Invite yourself into a new world that you have invented and can't be touched.

Sometimes we know not where or how far we are going until we stop and think about just how far we have come and why.

Sometimes the answers are not there until we stand still and listen. But they are there and they are usually surrounded by love. You are too.

Life is a series of triumphs and disappointments. Once you harness the disappointments, your triumphs will be greater.

Looking back now I realise that the worst things that happened to me were the best things in disguise - I just didn’t know how to read the signs.
