"I've wanted to be the light one, the simple one, the sweet one. Last night I learned - or perhaps was reminded - that I am none of these things. I am powerful.

-Michele Gardella

Golden as the light which filtered through autumn leaves, her wounds wept for the pain callously dealt. And you add insult to injury.

The more I grow, the more I realize how much my words effect others. The things I choose to say make me powerful. The way I choose to treat myself, and the words I use to describe how I feel about me influence two little girls in my home who are watching my every move. I am learning to make the choice to be kind to me. I have the power to help them see themselves the way I see them. Beautiful, magical, gifted, and wonderful in so many ways that they don't even realize, but helping them to see those things starts with seeing them in myself. I am grateful for this journey I am taking with my girls. I am learning so much.

Ireland, 2009.

This is one of the most amazing views I have seen in my entire life, it was just spectacular.

No one gets tired of loving, they just get tired of waiting, apologizing, getting disappointed and being hurt.
