Who were you before you put yourself last.

Manage the remarkable balance between acting from your heart and close to your gifts with completing the obligations that your labor and tasks require of you. Leverage opportunity AND seize joy.

Work as smart as you are able.

When I want friendship defined - I look at my friends.

I wrap the potential for bitterness, resentment, martyrdom in the blanket of forgiveness and just set it down. Then it just melts in the warmth. And goes away.

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

Recognize that on certain days the greatest grace is that the day is over and you get to close your eyes. Tomorrow comes more brightly.
