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.

Approval

"Some people spend enormous amounts of time considering the impression that their words and behaviors create, playing always for approval.   A great deal of energy goes into this process of fixing and editing ourselves.   We have changed ourselves into someone that the people who matter to us can love.   Sometimes no longer know what is true for us, in which direction our integrity lies."  Rachel Naomi Remen
