Courage


“It takes courage...to endure the sharp pains of self discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.” Marianne Williamson

  4. I was on my iPad the first time I saw that picture and read the quote, so didn't leave a comment. But now I want to say "Thank You!" So beautiful, so empowering---the perfect antidote to an almost-despairing weekend. I write "almost" cuz I refuse to give in to despair even when I'm feeling overwhelmed and helpless. Thanks, Kara.

    Love you, CZ

    1. Thank you CZ. I'm sorry you had a hard weekend. Refusing to despair, yes. It's tantamount to an act of defiance for those of us who have grown in Nfamilies. Hope you things get better for you this week.
      Love you too,
      Kara xx
