“Je mehr du gibst, um so mehr wächst du. Es muß aber einer da sein, der empfangen kann. Und es ist kein Geben, wenn man dabei nur verliert.”

“Ich folge der Liebe,
Wohin auch ihre Karawane zieht,
Liebe ist meine Religion,
Liebe ist mein Glaube.”

“Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me.” This is a lie. What we say matters. The unkind things we communicate can soil the best of relationships; even with the deepest of regrets…what lingers is a stain of hurt that may fade but will never truly go away. The wounding words we say are like feathers released in a harsh wind, once said; we will never get them back. ~Jason Versey”
