Glory
The glory of friendship…is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

When I choose to be vulnerable within a friendship,
I strengthen self-acceptance.

There are no wrong turnings. Only paths we had not known we were meant to walk.
-Guy Gavriel Kay
Corner
You never know what’s around the corner. It could be everything. Or it could be nothing. You keep putting one foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back and you’ve climbed a mountain.

I have not always chosen the safest path. I’ve made my mistakes, plenty of them. I sometimes jump too soon and fail to appreciate the consequences. But I’ve learned something important along the way: I’ve learned to heed the call of my heart.
-Steve Goodier
Soul
When the path ignites a soul,
there’s no remaining in place.
The foot touches ground,
but not for long.
-Hakim Sanai
Step
It’s all well and good to look back after the fact and see what we should have done, but we rarely know what path is best when we take that first step.
-Christine Feehan
Path Mantra
When I choose to follow the path within, I am guided daily.
