 Changing your life does not always mean that you stop doing certain things. It may mean that you start doing certain other things. What you really want to do is nurture the attitude that you are open to learning more about yourself. Accepting more about yourself. This is what will inspire you to do something new. ~~Iyanla Vanzant~~ Picture taken in Collingwood, ON

 If something is important enough, even if the odds are against you, you should still do it. ~~Unknown~~ picture found on-line and I can't remember where...sorry  When you distance yourself from negativity, beautiful things can happen. ~~Unknown~~ Picture shared by a friend of the Facebook page  You are not defective, powerless, or insignificant. Forgive the mistakes of the past and leave behind the meaningless cycle of blaming yourself. Do not make your wounds become you. ~~Dodinsky~~ picture taken in Grand Bend ON  Love yourself first because that's who you'll be spending the rest of your life with. ~~Unknown~~  You are not defective, powerless, or insignificant.

No matter who you are and what you think you know or do not know, life will teach you to honor and respect balance. There must be discords in order to achieve harmony. There must be darkness that propels us into light. It is the frigid cold in winter that teaches us to appreciate the warmth. ~~Iyanla Vanzant~~ Picture taken in February at Port Stanley beach  The journey into ourselves can be scary at times, but the strength that comes with it is powerful. ~~Tammy Taylor~~ Picture taken by my daughter Emily on the pond. It's a spot where we can find our strength again 
I know you want to be a good person and be helpful to people in need, but it's impossible to give to others if your energy has already been used-up. Being a good person has nothing to do with allowing people to destroy you. There are limits. You can best help others from a position of strength, not weakness. So, don't forget to be good to yourself first. Don't forget to take care of you! ~~Bryant McGill~~ Picture taken in Grand Bend, ON  Growth is a very profound experience. It can be beautiful and ugly, empowering and confining, thought-provoking and mind-boggling, pleasant and unpleasant, all at the same time. ~~Iyanla Vanzant~~ Picture taken at a friends farm. |
