As the evening beckons with the promise of tomorrow... may your gratitude rise up and with strength answer, "yes."

Nurturing is not complex. It's simply being tuned in to the thing or person before you and offering small gestures toward what it needs at that time.

We tell the real truth of our life by the stories we repeatedly tell.

Just stop it. Seriously. Whatever it is. Just stop it. If only for an hour, a day, a week. Stop doing it long enough to get a glimpse of what the change would actually look like.

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

In my prayers I never said I needed a home. I said I wanted a sanctuary.
