Choose, Respond, Change

“My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers from what seemed like one safe place to another. Like lily pads, round and green, these places summoned and then held me up while I grew. Each prepared me for the next leaf on which I would land, and in this way I moved across the swamp of doubt and fear.” – Anne Lamott

“Every human has four endowments – self-awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom… The power to choose, to respond, to change.” – Stephen Covey

Power to choose your thoughts.
Respond rather than react.
Inviting and allowing change, growth, expansion.
Unfolding, uncovering, revealing what is beneath and in reach.
Never done.
The adventure continues.
Enjoy the scenery on the journey.
Carry a light load.
Bloom.

“It is our birthright to uncover the soul—to remove the layers of fear or shame or apathy or cynicism that conceal it.”― Elizabeth Lesser, Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow
