“One person’s pain doesn’t negate another’s. Our heartaches are not competition”
― Raven Kennedy, Glow

“And if I had to give up this work or if my career never really panned out, it would still have been worth every second of it. What a privilege all this has been, I thought as we bounced along. How trivial and petty many of my concerns around my job were. This moment and the thousands of others on the road over the last ten years were the reward. I was filled by a sense of clarity that comes with knowing beyond any doubt that you are exactly where you are meant to be. I felt infused by purpose, that great elusive source of a good life.”
― Jane Ferguson, No Ordinary Assignment: A Memoir

“Maybe none of us truly know our own strength. Not until the world has hacked away at us. But the point is”
― Raven Kennedy, Glow

“People talk about one life…one chance. But I reckon a single life is made up of a dozen or more roles and responsibilities. I can count the versions of myself like friend and foe. Mistakes are the detours that remind you of the true way, Saint. To love and be loved is more than can ever be expected, more than enough for a thousand ordinary lifetimes.”
― Chris Whitaker, All the Colors of the Dark
