“I can honestly say that every gift I’ve ever given has brought at least as much happiness to me as it has to the person I’ve given it to. I give as I feel. Throughout the year, that may mean mailing a handwritten note to someone who didn’t expect it. Or sending a great new lotion I just discovered, or delivering a book of poetry with a pretty bow. It doesn’t matter what the thing is; what matters is how much of yourself goes into the giving, so that when the gift is gone, the spirit of you lingers

“Sé con seguridad que lo que vivimos es en lo que nos convertimos, cada mujer es el reflejo de lo que piensa. Si absorbemos hora tras hora imágenes y mensajes que no reflejan lo maravillosas que somos, no es de sorprenderse que caminemos por ahí sintiéndonos vacías, sin nuestra fuerza vital. Y si nos sintonizamos con docenas de actos brutales cada semana, tampoco debe sorprendernos que nuestros niños vean la violencia como una forma aceptable de resolver los conflictos.”

“When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.
~Maya Angelou
Remember this because it will happen many times in your life. When people show you who they are the first time believe them. Not the 29th. time. When a man doesn't call you back the first time, when you are mistreated the first time, when someone shows you lack of integrity or dishonesty the first time, know that this will be followed many many other times, that will some point in life come back to haunt or hurt you. Live your life in truth. Don't pretend to be someone you're not. You will survive anything if you live your life from the point of view of truth.”
