“The people we meet at the wrong time are actually just the wrong people. You never meet the right people at the wrong time.”
Heidi Priebe, This Is Me Letting You Go

“There's a wonderful old Italian joke about a poor man who goes to church every day and prays before the statue of a great saint, begging, "Dear saint-please, please, please...give me the grace to win the lottery." This lament goes on for months. Finally the exasperated staue comes to life, looks down at the begging man and says in weary disgust, "My son-please, please, please...buy a ticket."

Prayer is a realtionship; half the job is mine. If I want transformation, but can't even be bothered to articulate what, exactly, I'm ainming for, how will it ever occur? Half the benefit of prayer is in the asking itself, in the offering of a clearly posed and well-considered intention. If you don't have this, all your pleas and desires are boneless, floppy, inert; they swirl at your feet in a cold fog and never lift.”
Elizabeth Gilbert

Heidi Priebe
“We owe it to ourselves to live the greatest life that we’re capable of living, even if that means that we have to be alone for a very long time.”
Heidi Priebe, This Is Me Letting You Go

Heidi Priebe
“Sometimes you're going to have to let one person go a thousand different times, a thousand different ways, and there's nothing pathetic or abnormal about that. You are human.”
Heidi Priebe, This Is Me Letting You Go
