It's sometimes a gift when staying where we are becomes more painful than our fear of the unknown...because it's often when we jump that we discover we always had wings.

A true friend is there during stormy times. Many friends will be there when times are good. It's during stormy times you find out who has your back - and your umbrella.

Karen Salmansohn

Just like you shouldn't go grocery shopping when starving, you should be careful looking for love when lonely.  In both cases, you can wind up with unhealthy choices.

Karen Salmansohn

Slow down.  Slow down your speech. Slow down your breathing. Slow down your eating.  Let this slower, steadier pace perfume your mind.

Karen Salmansohn

Your words have great power.  Use them to support and inspire.

Karen Salmansohn

Big thank you to all those who have been unkind to me.  You reminded me about the importance of kindness.

Spend time with your parents.  Create closure on problems.  Treat them well.  Because one day when you look up from your phone, they won't be there anymore.

Karen Salmansohn

At your absolute best, you still won't be good enough for the wrong person.  At your worst, you'll still be worth it to the right person.

Karen Salmansohn

Anyone can love a rose.  But can you love a leaf? It's ordinary to love the beautiful.  But it's beautiful to love the ordinary.

Friendships that have survived the test of time and change are the absolute best.

I'd rather have an enemy who admits that they hate me, than a friend who secretly puts me down.

One of my favourite things:  good conversation with good friends.

Let go of the thoughts that weigh you down.  You'll feel better.

At the core of all anger is a need that is not being fulfilled.

Di Riseborough, Intuitive Life Strategist

There are some people who always seem angry and continuously look for conflict.  Walk away; the battle they are fighting isn't with you, it is with themselves.

Enchanting Minds

Sometimes we need someone to simply be there...not to fix anything or do anything in particular, but just to let us feel we are supported and cared about.

Hello everyone!  A very warm welcome to you all! 

As the new year approaches, I would like to take a classic winter song..."Let it Snow" and ask each and everyone of us to think "Let it go!" when we are feeling angry, unforgiving, sad or upset at someone or something.  Let us try!  Love and hugs to you all!

Begin each day with optimism and end each day with forgiveness.  - Doc Zantamata

Incredible Joy

My daily to-do checklist!  Start and end my day counting my blessings and saying "thank you." Be kind to myself and others.  Don't sweat the small stuff.  Stay away from senseless drama, negative people or any conversation that is not positive, encouraging, inspiring or uplifting.  Follow my heart. Believe in myself.  Do what I love and trust in my journey.  And take time to just breathe...
