“the biggest prison is in your own mind, and in your pocket, you already hold the key: the willingness to take absolute responsibility for your life; the willingness to risk; the willingness to release yourself from judgment and reclaim your innocence, accepting and loving yourself for who you really are – human, imperfect, and whole…. You can’t change what happened, you can’t change what you did or what was done to you. But you can choose how you live now.” – Dr. Edith Eva Eger, The Choice: Embrace the Possible

“There isn’t time, so brief is life, for bickerings, apologies, heartburnings, callings to account. There is only time for loving, and but an instant, so to speak, for that.” – Mark Twain
