We're all assigned a piece of the garden, a corner of the universe that is ours to transform. Our corner of the universe is our own life - our relationships, our homes, our work, our current circumstances -. exactly as they are. Every situation we find ourselves in is an opportunity, perfectly planned by the Holy Spirit, to teach love instead of fear.

Marianne WilliamsonWe're just afraid, period. Our fear is free-floating. We're afraid this isn't the right relationship or we're afraid it is.

We're more afraid of life than we are of death.
