“With every act of self-care
your authentic self gets stronger,
and the critical, fearful mind gets weaker.
Every act of self-care is a powerful declaration:
I am on my side, I am on my side,
each day I am more and more on my own side.”
~ Susan Weiss Berry
“I was sad that I had no shoes.
Then I met a man who had no feet.”
“Be the person who breaks the cycle.
If you were judged, choose understanding.
If you were rejected, choose acceptance.
If you were shamed, choose compassion.
Be the person you needed when you were hurting,
not the person who hurt you.
Vow to be better than what broke you
—to heal instead of becoming bitter
so you can act from your heart,
not your pain.”
~ Lori Deschene
“Learn to sit back and observe.
Not everything needs a reaction.”
“The greatness of a community
is most accurately measured
by the compassionate actions
of its members.”
~ Coretta Scott King
“Maybe you think someone
doesn’t have a lot on their plate compared to you.
But maybe, their plate is smaller than yours
and doesn’t have a lot of room to begin with.
Or maybe, their plate is paper,
and their flimsy plate can’t hold as much
as your sturdy ceramic plate.”
