a quote

i got this quote out of brene brown's newest book,
'the gifts of imperfection' and loved it......

it's from bell hooks:

'to begin by always thinking of love as an action
rather than a feeling is one way in which anyone using
the word in this manner automatically assumes
accountability and responsibility.'

Compassion said...: I think there is a great quote on page 63 of that book as well.

Something about "She could never go back and make some of the details pretty. All she could do is move forward and make the whole beautiful." From a Terri someone :); February 28, 2011 at 4:34 PM

it was hers

“they took. they invaded. they pushed. they violated. in so many different ways. a lifetime of pushes and takings and making her feel less than valuable. sitting back, she began to see it. how it had gone on and on. and in seeing it, she began to realize - it was up to her now to shout, to whisper, to sing, to move and to believe in her value. no more taking that from her. it was hers. no more giving it away. it was hers. proudly, with strength and with knowing, she held it. she lived it. she became it.”
