I am a collector of words

Words feed me, free me, comfort, uplift and heal me. I've been saving my favorites in books, handwritten over the years and thought that perhaps in sharing them, not only am I preserving them for myself, but perhaps others may also find healing in them as I have.

Parenting from Individuality

"When we honor individuality, we are preparing a nest for the soul, an entryway.   Norms, conventions and traditional expectations serve some other interest and are foreign to the soul's unique experiments.   Soulfulness and individuality go together, one to fortify the other."   Thomas Moore
