“Core needs for children include, but are not limited to, receiving adequate levels of time, love, and attention, along with meeting their needs to feel heard, validated, and understood. When these needs aren’t met, there is no way to rewind to the beginning of life in a way that enables any outside love relationship to heal or meet your core needs. Research naively suggests we seek other relationships outside our family to supply our basic needs of love, acceptance, and emotional support. Although other love relationships are fundamental, necessary, and important to our overall well-being, I believe it is not only inappropriate for us to put this type of pressure on others to fill the needs our family neglected, but this request is also impossible to satisfy. It is unwise and emotionally dangerous to assume anyone could meet the core needs that can be met only by the family we were born into. The unfortunate message from this type of information is that other people can heal our wounds and meet our core needs when, ultimately, we need to learn to heal our own wounds and meet our own needs.”
Sherrie Campbell, Adult Survivors of Toxic Family Members: Tools to Maintain Boundaries, Deal with Criticism, and Heal from Shame After Ties Have Been Cut

Barbara  Davis
“Without a reader, a book was a blank slate, an object with no breath or pulse of its own. But once a book became part of someone’s world, it came to life, with a past and a present—and, if properly cared for, a future.”
Barbara Davis, The Echo of Old Books

Rachel Joyce
“The way to Heaven is not through the clouds. It’s in the joy with which you look at the world despite your pain and your sorrow.”
Rachel Joyce, The Music Shop

Kristin Hannah
“Maybe that's how God provides. He put me in your path and you in mine.”
Kristin Hannah, The Four Winds

Richard Wagamese
“Love is not about rescue, I understand now - it's about allowing. In the Ojibway world, love is the process of you leading me back to who I am. You do that by stepping back and allowing the creative, nurturing energy of the universe to work. That's the most courageous thing you can do when you love somebody. Deb showed me that. Both of us knew we'd found communion with one another. We're loyal to the vision of our togetherness.”
Richard Wagamese, One Story, One Song
