Self-Care
“Self-care is never a selfish act – it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer others. Anytime we can listen to true self and give the care it requires, we do it not only for ourselves, but for the many others whose lives we touch.”
-Parker Palmer
Rest
Rest is the conversation between what we have to do and what we want to be.
-David Whyte
Soul
“The problem is not entirely in finding a room of one’s own, the time alone, difficult and necessary as that is. The problem is more how to still the soul in the midst of its activities. In fact, the problem is how to feed the soul.”
― Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Rise
“rise
said the moon
and the new day came”
― Rupi Kaur
Ruin
We are souls
Of ruin and renewal
Sorting through the rubble
Of our painful past.
We are souls
Of ruin and renewal
Waiting for the dust
To settle at last
We are souls
Of ruin and renewal
Searching for eyes that see us
And walk through the debris
We are souls
Of ruin and renewal,
We rebuild, we revive,
We repurpose our own story.”
― Liz Newman
Are
“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.”
― Andre Gide
Worst
“I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe
Love
“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”
― Anais Nin
Perfect
“You don’t love someone because they’re perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they’re not.”
― Jodi Picoult
Trust
“The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”
