It has been a rough week for me personally. I find myself attempting to meditate more, reading poetry, and perusing books of quotes. I am seeking hope and inspiration in what feels like pretty dark times.
If you are going through it with me, I hope some of these will be helpful…

“Once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain.
