"You can’t get stuck on what should have happened. That doesn’t help you."

"I want you to stop running from thing to thing to thing, and to sit down at the table, to offer the people you love something humble and nourishing, like soup and bread, like a story, like a hand holding another hand while you pray. We live in a world that values us for how fast we go, for how much we accomplish, for how much life we can pack into one day. But I’m coming to believe it’s in the in-between spaces that our lives change, and that the real beauty lies there."

"The struggle is real, but so is God."

Allow your own inner curiosity and desires to leak out into the world. You have no idea what impact you might have, not only on your own life, but in the lives of countless others.

"Dream your dream; and realize that you are more than just the dreamer, you are the point of origin for its reality."

Keep changing. Keep asking. Keep growing. Keep evolving. Keep succeeding. Keep moving. Keep shining…

Never discredit your gut instinct. You’re not being paranoid. Your body can pick up vibrations, some better than others, and if something deep inside you says something’s not right about a person or situation, trust it and keep it pushing.

In case nobody has told you today: you are hella bomb, hella cute, and anyone would be hella lucky to have you.
