On Soulmates

“You might hate how overused the word ‘soulmate’ is, but this is the way you make one.  A soulmate is the person who’s gotten the chance to see something real about you.  You risked; you bared ugliness; you forged a bond.  This friendship becomes something more lasting than a superficial thing.

“Soulmate means a friend who understands something about you and so lives flexibly in this relationship, in which you can both risk a little, and insult a little, and dare a little, and stray a little, while something solid connects you at the center.”

– Ilana Simons, author of  A Life of One’s Own

May God Give You…

“For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial.  For every problem life sends a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer.”

– Irish Blessing

 

Surround Yourself With Good People

“I gravitate toward people who have a vision, people who are uncompromising, people have moral authority without being moralistic.”

– Patti Smith
