I think the greatest gift we can give our children is to show them that devotion to God's purposes - love for all beings - is the center of all right living.

[God is] an all-encompassing love that is the source of all, the reality of all, and the being through which I am.
Marianne Williamson

Angels light the way. Angels do not begrudge anyone anything, angels do not tear down, angels do not compete, angels do not constrict their hearts, angels do not fear. That's why they sing and that's how they fly. We, of course, are only angels in disguise.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We love purely when we release other people to be who they are.
Marianne Williamson
Image
If we do not like what we see in the world, we must face what we don't like in ourselves. As we change, the world will change with us.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Like a great athlete, we must have a very clear vision of what we want to accomplish before we make a move. Vision, in preparation for an action, is as important as the action itself.

Nature is infinitely creative. It is always producing the possibility of new beginnings.
