It’s not surprising to me that so many people love quotes and holiday quotes are a perfect way to share the season. The very best quotes hold a gem of truth that when reflected upon shines a light upon our path and nourishes our soul. Wisdom is simple. Truth is clear. We feel it. It resonates. This holiday season, you may wish to take a few moments to examine these jewels and/or share them with others. Happy Holidays! Dorothy
“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. Wishing you happiness.” – Helen Keller
May we learn to open in love
so all the doors and windows
of our bodies swing wide
on their rusty hinges.
May we learn to give ourselves with both hands,
to lift each other on our shoulders,
to carry one another along.
May holiness move in us
so we pay attention to its small voice
and honor its light in each other.”
Dawna Markova
Perfect holiday quotes for the busy woman…
“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”
― Brené Brown
“Remove the veils so that I might see what is really happening here and not be intoxicated by my stories and fears.” Elizabeth Lesser
In the end, though, maybe we must all give up trying to pay back the people in this world who sustain our lives. In the end, maybe it’s wiser to surrender before the miraculous scope of human generosity and to just keep saying thank you, forever and sincerely, for as long as we have voices.” Elizabeth Gilbert
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.” Melody Beattie
Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.” — Maya Angelou
“One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.”
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés
“When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.” ― Maya Angelou
“Laughter is a sunbeam of the soul.”
― Thomas Mann
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
― Dr. Seuss
Hold on to what is good
even if it is a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe
even if it is
a tree which stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do
even if it is
along way from here,
Hold on to life even when
it is easier to let go.
Hold on to my hand even when
I have gone away from you.
Nancy Wood, Many Winters
