Life's Journey

Courage doesn't always roar.

Sometimes courage is the

quiet voice at the end of the day saying,

"I will try again tomorrow."

- Mary Anne Radmacher

Life Legacies from my Grandma:

LIVE DEEP

Never stop learning, playing or finding wonder in the world around you. Live the length of your life, but live the depth of it as well.

TRAVEL LIGHT

There is no use in carrying around worry and regret. They only weigh you down. Always keep yourself open to hope and to love. They give us wings.

FORGIVE IMPERFECTIONS

in yourself and in others. Imperfections keep things interesting. They're the cracks where the light shines through.

OWN BEAUTIFUL THINGS

And not just to keep in the drawer, tucked away for a perfect day. Surround yourself with things that make you happy, that remind you of the beauty all around us if we only keep our eyes open to it.

MAKE MISTAKES

Follow detours. Sometimes it takes an unexpected turn to help us find the life that is waiting for us around the bend. Trust yourself and the path that is meant for you.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

And sometimes that means you need the ice cream. Be good to your body, but also to your mind and spirit. You're the only one who can.

AND ALWAYS, ALWAYS KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED

You are a gift to this world and a blessing to us and that will never change.
