“I think that we are like stars. Something happens to burst us open; but when we burst open and think we are dying; we’re actually turning into a supernova. And then when we look at ourselves again, we see that we’re suddenly more beautiful than we ever were before!”

C. Joybell C.

"One day at a time - this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone: and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering."

-Ida Scott Taylor

"Do not doubt your own basic goodness. In spite of all confusion and fear, you are born with a heart that knows what is just, loving, and beautiful."
-Jack Kornfield

I think these difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that one goes around worrying about are of no importance whatsoever. 

-Isak Dinesen

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.

"....here's the truth: when we practice being open and vulnerable, blessings flood our lives. Our hearts soar on the freedom of released burden. And soon, we don't have to practice anymore once we've learned to speak from our own meaningful truth. It is the biggest miracle in my life to learn this lesson over and over again. My very own vulnerabilities, once seen as my weaknesses, have turned out to be the greatest strength I've known." -Kelly Rae Roberts

"To love beauty is to see light." ~ Victor Hugo
