Remember, life is a journey. If you got everything you wanted all at once there’d be no point to living.

Remain calm, all is within reach; all you have to do is show up everyday, stay true to your path and you will surely find the treasure you seek.

Talking About God Tuesday:Love
I don’t have a lot to say today, (I know, shocking) so I’m just going to share another favourite bible passage because it is the one that I need to remind myself of the most.
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am…
I consider books to be good for our health, and also our spirits, and they help us to become poets or scientists, to understand the stars or else to discover them deep within the aspirations of certain characters, those who sometimes, on certain evenings, escape from the pages and walk among us humans, perhaps the most human of us all.
