How desirable this union! To attain it is to live in this world and the next without care of any kind. There is no secret, occult, or mysterious formula. Our whole welfare consists solely in doing the will of God. But God will not force our will. God will take only what we give. But God will not be ours entirely until we yield ourselves entirely to God.
– St. Theresa of Avila
Author’s Notes
You do not mend a broken heart. You leave it in pieces. You open it wider and wider and wider until you can fit the world in.
– Caroline Myss
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
– Isaiah 43:2
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
– Psalm 34:18
What would you do, if it all came back to you…?
Step back from the line of fire.– Junip

Healing a mental illness requires remembering that a neuron is a single cell in our bodies. If we believe that healing occurs at the cellular level, that actually makes it an easy target.
The very point at which life became unsafe or painful in your past, is the place that needs to be re-experienced until it’s resolved.
Every single time, you shift the slightest degree of light, you will be tested. Every single time, you will be sent an adversary. Every single time.
[Because of this] The more empowered you feel is the more invisible you must become. Fly under the radar.
– Caroline Myss
I dipped my toe into the world and was frightened by what I saw. It is such a terrible place to have to remain. Show me what it is You need me to be while I wait.
