"Every time you don't follow your inner guidance, you feel a loss of energy, loss of power, a sense of spiritual deadness." Shakti Gawain


"No one may know what you are going through right now.
No one may know how many times you continued to get up even when you didn't have the strength. No one may know how many times you said "no" to the enemy of temptation, suicide or addiction. Maybe no one heard you speak up to your bill collector or when you were disrespected by a family member, friend or co-worker.

No one may know how many times you have
prayed for help just for the hour.
So often your bravest faith-walking times will happen without a witness.

You will experience private moments of victory without
applause, points, a hug or a pat on the back. But God sees you and hears you. You are growing everyday in courage, action and faith.

Acknowledge your progress and walk through your valley of fear confident with the whole armor of God, the belt of truth, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit. The following beautiful
song is a reminder...

"When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm is a golden sky
and the sweet silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown, walk on,
walk on with hope in your heart
and you'll never walk alone,
you'll never walk alone."
~ Jewel Diamond Taylor



"If you are in harmony with yourself, you can meet a lion without fear. He respects anyone with self-confidence." ~ Nelson Mandela



"Each of us should do something every day that we do not want to do but we know we should do, to strengthen our backbone
and put iron in our soul. " --- Henry Hitt Crane
