“…In today’s society, we let media, social media, our schedules, and our children run things. We have not taken charge and prioritized the things that actually help us be healthy and whole and present in the moment.” -Michael Todd (the quieter you are, the more you can hear - Ram Dass, spiritual teacher, yoga, psych, writer)

Leaps of Faith…and new paths…they aren’t reckless and impulsive. They are planned and calculated…

“Work wasn’t noise in a room…it was trust you could hear.”

First audio book

“Grace doesn’t mean blindness…”

Paraphrase - don’t look for a scoreboard in a room where the score was written before you sat down.

“Stand straighter.”

“…I know this: A warrior believes in an end she can’t see and fights for it. A warrior never gives up. A warrior fights for those weaker than herself. It sounds like motherhood to me.”

“My life. It’s…more of an idea. A cause…”

The dialogue between Elsa and 14 yr old Loreda is tugging my heartstrings. Maybe because of the connection I am making or because of the realism that is portrayed between a (lost) mother and daughter (everywhere). The conversation is real. No fight. No fault. No arguing. No praise. Just. Simply. Truism. (Word?) Nonetheless. The author gets it. If you are lost - you can always be found.

Spoiler!…A woman with a spirit to overcome the worst of the worst and the will to keep moving forward for family anyway. A woman who welcomed Elsa and showed Elsa the positivity and light of a woman, a mother - so that she could have the will to look past the all of the havoc surrounding them. A grieving mother. A wife. A friend. A realist. A warrior.
