Love means each person is free to follow his or her own heart.
Boundaries emerge from deep within. They are connected to letting go of guilt and shame, and to changing our beliefs about what we deserve. As our thinking about this becomes clearer, so will our boundaries. Boundaries are also connected to a Higher Timing than our own. We’ll set a limit when we’re ready, and not a moment before. So will others. There’s something magical about reaching that point of becoming ready to set a limit. We know we mean what we say; others take us seriously too. Things change, not because we’re controlling others, but because we’ve changed.
I never know what the next lesson is going to be, because we're not supposed to know -- we're supposed to trust ourselves to discover it.
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
Choosing to take responsibility for ourselves and for the consequences our choices create looks like hard work, but it really sets us free.
Whatever we try to control does have control over us and our life.
Today, I will focus on what's right about me. I will give myself some of the caring I've extended to the world.

Each moment in time we have it all, even when we think we don't.
Letting go means we stop trying to force outcomes and make people behave. It means we give up resistance to the way things are, for the moment. It means we stop trying to do the impossible-controlling that which we cannot-and instead, focus on what is possible-which usually means taking care of ourselves. And we do this in gentleness, kindness, and love, as much as possible.
