1 " Invisible wounds can take a lifetime to heal, but it only took me forty years. It happened in the simplest of ways yet had the most profound impact. I finally let this silly little secret out, released the shame, and found shelter. "
― Rebecca L. Brown , Shelter from Our Secrets, Silence, and Shame: How Our Stories Can Keep Us Stuck or Set Us Free
2 " There is so much hidden beneath the surface of calm water; hidden secrets and buried treasure. But we cannot heal what we keep hidden. When we become quiet and stop listening to the stories we have told ourselves, and instead seek shelter in our wisdom, when we are willing to risk being vulnerable, open and authentic we can start to imagine the new stories waiting to be written. "
3 " The stories we tell ourselves, or that others tell us, we believe. Despite evidence to the contrary. Why do we create a belief that is negative, untrue, and harmful? If we could just trust ourselves to open our minds and our hearts, follow our instincts and challenge our distorted thinking, we would be much more likely to reach our hidden potential. If the kaleidoscope could just shift a fraction in another direction, Everything would look entirely different. "
