Remember that nurturing yourself is as important (if not more so) as nurturing others.

Even from the darkest night songs of beauty can be born.

Judgment is discernment on a bad hair day.

Protect your vision. Prevail over adversity. Persevere in the midst of turmoil. Passionately act upon your convictions. Purposely walk into the day.

Tonight, late, when I'm still not done with the day but must comply with sleep, I can whisper, "There was done a little good today. Today I changed myself and the world, just a little. And yes, I loved." Most days, that is enough.

Curiosity takes courage. The most important promises are the ones you make to yourself. Pay Attention. Appreciate. Listen. Imagine.

Consider calling it a challenge rather than calling it a crisis.
