Words I've been loving lately...

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... it has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival."

"I'm ready for new challenges. We go into this Joan of Arc style. We are not afraid... we were born to do this." -Kelle Hampton

"I feel like the reason we love kids so much is because they aren't trying to be anyone but themselves. They aren't wearing a mask to hide behind job titles, past success or trying to earn love or acceptance. They are the purest form of themselves... I wake up hoping to walk with confidence in my love, curiosity in my interactions and hope in my encounters with people to leave them better than I found them." -BC Serna

"For many people, the opposite of faith is doubt. The goal, then, within this understanding, is to eliminate doubt. But faith and doubt aren't opposites. Doubt is often a sign that your faith has a pulse, that you're owning your path, engaged, thinking, feeling, that your heart is alive and well and exploring and searching. Faith and doubt aren't opposites; they are, it turns out, excellent dance partners." -Rob Bell

"Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with them."

"The fat kids, the skinny kids, the tall ones, the short ones and everybody in between: I am so thankful that not a single one of us is the exact same. What a boring world that would be." -Julie Murphy
