Resentments are hardened chunks of anger. They loosen up and dissolve with forgiveness and letting go.
Melody Beattie

... I've learned that I have many, many soul mates here, and they come to me at the right time and in the right place. They come to help me when I'm lost, and each comes with different sets of lessons for me -- usually, always, my most intense lessons -- the ones my soul came here to learn.

I gave three years of my life to take care of my dying mother who had Alzheimer's disease. Being there for her every need for three years might have looked codependent but it wasn't because it was what I wanted to do.

We have as much time as we need.
Melody Beattie
Image
When our heart is broken, we can't hear it. And when we can't hear our heart, we can't hear God.
