Thank you for compiling these quotes. I needed to acknowledge the elephant in the room. I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’ve been at war with myself for far too long. Today, Calamity Chaos (Me) was ready for a standoff. Sheriff Shine stepped in and put the cuffs on. From this day forward, I refuse to let Calamity run wild and free. I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’m taking control and running (Forrest Gump style) all the way to a victorious life! Thank you Shine Staff, for the uplifting words, dedication and countless hours of research that have, no doubt; contributed to the healing and success of your readers!
Sincerely,
Cali
I most certainly enjoy these quotes I saved some of the ones that spoke to me personally ,I however enjoy all they were of Magnificent help for me
Reading this makes so much sense to me. For months I was jjust depressed and not caring about myself at all
I kept praying for small starts. Get out of bed. Pray
I started wearing a little makeup, bought a few inexpensive clothes. Made a doctor appointment and started talking.
I learned I am a strong and lind woman. Only I had been bei3 strong and kind more for others than myself. Today I am up early. Cleaning my house. Reading and writing. I am positive in my goals. My aspirations. My confidence is strong and my abilities are evident. I have come a long way in a short time. I feel strong my story will be told in a book. I have learned a lot and feel strongly sharing will help me as well as many others.
These are encouraging words.
I am particularly helped with the number 8.
I am captivated by number 11!
