Wise and Inspiring Quotes that Heal

In the past few months, life has given me the opportunity to start anew, reconnect with wonderful friends who truly love me, grow spiritually and begin to seek inner guidance from my own Divine self. I have learned that I have the skills needed to rebuild my life and become a stronger woman in the process of healing my heart. Below are some of the quotes that I have found in a variety of places that have brought me comfort in the present moment and also hope for a bright future. I hope they will help others as much as they have helped, touched and inspired me.
