Seek healing, a refilling of energy and spirit, as soon as you see that you need it. You don't have to push yourself to give, do, or perform when what your body, mind, soul and emotions need is to heal.

It's not what we don't know that hurts us, people say. It's what we believe is true that isn't that does the damage.

Quit hanging on to the handrails . . . Let go. Surrender. Go for the ride of your life. Do it every day.

When our heart is broken, we can't hear it. And when we can't hear our heart, we can't hear God.

I trust so much in the power of the heart and the soul; I know that the answer to what we need to do next is in our own hearts. All we have to do is listen, then take that one step further and trust what we hear. We will be taught what we need to learn.

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

Like it or not, i was already learning that in the worst and darkest time, I would find specks of light, moments of joy. What I didn't want to learn was the other, harsher lesson - that in life's brightest moments there would also be unbearable pain. p 87
