Quote by Marianne Williamson

“A spiritual relationship is not necessarily one in which two people are smiling all the time. Spiritual means to be above all else, authentic.

“I have outgrown so much, I think at some point we all do ~ we reach a stage in our life where we are forced to make a change, forced to cut friendships, relationships, jobs and places we once called home. At the time, it all feels a little overwhelming nothing stays the same and you have to learn your footing again but I can reassure you once you create the path you wish to walk along, what you left behind won't even matter.”
