Groundedness Quotes

• I want to cultivate a deep sense of gratitude, of groundedness, of enough, even while I'm longing for something more. The longing and the gratitude, both.

• As I entered this world, I would leave behind the nurturing of my family and my home, but in another sense I would take their protection with me.
