It's so easy to look around and notice what's wrong. It takes practice to see what's right.

Do we really have the right to take care of ourselves? Do we really have the right to set boundaries? Do we really have the right to be direct and say what we need to say? You bet we do.

Anger is a warning signal. It points to problems.

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

Our strength will continue if we allow ourselves the courage to feel scared, weak, and vulnerable.

When we don't ask for what we want and need, we discount ourselves.

Going home means getting comfortable being who you are and who your soul really wants to be. There is no strain with that. The strain and tension come when we're not being who our soul wants to be and we're someplace where our soul doesn't feel at home.
