“Shine your soul with the same
egoless humility as the rainbow
and no matter where you go
in this world or the next,
love will find you, attend you, and bless you.”

“Our culture encourages us to plan every moment and fill our schedules with one activity and obligation after the next, with no time to just be.

― Holly Mosier
