“As we are shifting, we will begin to realize that we are not the same person we used to be. The things we used to accept, we now disapprove. Where we once remained quiet, we are now speaking our truth. When we once battled, we are now choosing to remain silent. We are beginning to understand the value of our voice, and that there are some situations that no longer deserve our time, energy, and focus.”

“When you assume you make a you-know-what out of U and me. Yep, so let's stop assuming so much. We are often quick to explain details to strangers, who we understand might not be reading our minds, but we often assume that those people closest to us, those who share our household such as spouses, children parents and siblings, can read our minds. And we get upset with them when they don't go figure. I wonder how many angry words are directed not at an action or inaction as would at first appear, but simply at the fact that somebody did not read our minds. So let's give those people we care most about the benefit of the doubt and do a little less assuming and a little more explaining.”
