At least once in life, we all experience the flame going out. But it doesn’t have to remain dim. All it takes is a little spark of hope and kindness and love and perseverance to fan the flame.

The antidote to exhaustion isn’t rest. It’s wholeheartedness.—David Whyte
The tongue is a little member, and it can boast of great things. See how much wood or how great a forest a tiny spark can set ablaze! -James

I’m that person who reaches her third or fourth close before finally hanging up the phone.
I’m that lady that kisses and cuddles everyone at least a second time before boarding the plane.
I’m the girl who searches endlessly for friends from my childhood on Facebook (where could they be?)
I hate good-byes…so they are rather long when I have to give them. Summer is leaving me and all I want to do is hold on tight and never let go!
