“From Dancing in the Rain:

“As I sat there, a revelation hit me like the electric shock of a lightning bolt. I suddenly realized that I would never hear my mother’s voice again. The voice that annoyed me. The voice that criticized me. The voice that started unnecessary arguments. The voice that would rather keep quiet than offer a compliment or a few kind words of approval. The voice that always sounded angry and unhappy. The voice that never said, “I love you.”

… It’s strange. There were so many times when I wanted to hear my mother’s silence, rather than her disapproval, and now… she was silenced forever. And the strangest thing of all is, sometimes I still miss hearing her voice…”
Nella Coiro

“From “Dancing in the Rain”

I’ve faced and walked through various painful challenges. I’ve learned how live with disappointment, to expect the unexpected, accept the unacceptable, and to acknowledge that life is filled with loose ends and unanswered questions. If I didn’t have hope, I wouldn’t have survived.

There were so many times when I felt as if I were going to drown – and yet, I didn’t. Instead, I clung to the waves of each storm, afraid, yet with unyielding determination, and I survived. Although, not without scars. Still, often I’ve surprised myself.”
Nella Coiro, Dancing in the Rain

“We can become so accustomed to living with emotional pain that we don’t know how to live without it.”
Nella Coiro

“Releasing toxic relationships is the highest form of self-respect.”
Nella Coiro

“We need to love ourselves like our animals love us. Now, that’s a whole lot of love!”
Nella Coiro
