Circa 21st century!
I have learned that peace can only come from within once we decide to allow faith, rather than fear, to fill our hearts. Take your life back. If a gutless wonder like me can do it, you can do it!

    A few favorite quotes:

    "The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."
    ~Albert Einstein

    Life is a daring adventure or nothing at all.
    ~Helen Keller

    When one door closes, another one opens, but often we focus so long and regretfully on the closed door that we do not see another opening for us.
    ~Anonymous

    "Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail. I try to increase the power God has given me to see the best in everything and every one, and make that Best a part of my life."
    ~ Helen Keller

    How to become resilient:
  • Pat yourself on the back
  • Laugh a lot
  • Be optimistic-think abundantly
  • Practice gratitude
  • Take care of yourself
  • Be honest with yourself
  • Nurture "spiritual" time - meditation
  • Fight isolation
  • Get rid of distorted thinking... No, you don't "deserve" to be hurt!
  • Learn something new every day
  • Break up your routine
  • Most important... If you need help,
    ASK FOR HELP! Superwoman does not exist!
