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.

Labeling

"We put labels on life all the time.   "Right, wrong, success, failure, lucky" may be as limiting a way of seeing things as "diabetic, epileptic, manic-depressive".  Labeling sets up expectation of life that is so compelling we can no longer see things as they really are.   We are in relationship with our expectations and not with life itself."  Rachel Naomi Remen
