Grieving is a necessary passage and a difficult transition to finally letting go of sorrow -- it is not a permanent rest stop.

I hope I can be the autumn leaf, who looked at the sky and lived. And when it was time to leave, gracefully it knew life was a gift.

Be proud to wear you.

If you're wearing a disguise for too long, it will be difficult for the mirror to recognize you. At the end of the day I hope you become the person they didn't expect you to be. Be proud to wear you.

Forgiving is rediscovering the shining path of peace that at first you thought others took away when they betrayed you.

Let your inner sunshine overcome the passing haze of discontent.

Stay on top of your past so you can have a better view of your future.

Sometimes you must cross a bridge and other times you need to burn it. But, always keep building one and never lose your faith in life.

Do not let your shadow walk you. You are not a slave of the past.

We are like the little branch that quivers during a storm, doubting our strength and forgetting we are the tree -- deeply rooted to withstand all of life's upheavals.

Be there for others, never leave yourself behind.

There are friendships imprinted in our hearts that will never be diminished by time and distance.

They can betray me, but I choose not to be betray my peace of mind.

I hope when you count the stars you begin with yourself, and may you embrace the moonlight with your dreams.

Do not plant your dreams in the field of indecision, where nothing ever grows but the weeds of 'what-if.'

We are the captains of our own ships sailing the sea of life, but in times of a stormy weather, you will discover true friends when they don't hesitate to be a lighthouse.

Forgive. It doesn't erase their crime but why should you do the time. Let go of resentment.
