We don't have to do it any better than we can - ever. Do our best for the moment, then let it go. If we have to redo it, we can do our best in another moment, later.

Each life needs its own quiet place.

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

We don't just get our choice; we get the consequence that choice creates.

Gratitude helps us stop trying to control outcomes. It is the key that unlocks positive energy in our life. It is the alchemy that turns problems into blessings, and the unexpected into gifts.

Today I will learn to reject shame. Shame is an overwhelming sense that who I am isn't good enough. I realize that I am good enough, and that my imperfections are part of being human. I let go of shame.

We need to build downtime into our lives, so that we can have solitude without feeling overcome with guilt.
