Mean girls go far in high school. Kind women go far in LIFE. - Mandy Hale, The Single Woman: Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass

"Being brave enough to be alone frees you up to invite people into your life because you want them and not because you need them."

"It’s OKAY to be scared. Being scared means you’re about to do something really, really brave."

"Better to put your heart on the line, risk everything, and walk away with nothing than play it safe. Love is a lot of things, but “safe” isn’t one of them."

"Consider the fact that maybe…just maybe…beauty and worth aren’t found in a makeup bottle, or a salon-fresh hairstyle, or a fabulous outfit. Maybe our sparkle comes from somewhere deeper inside, somewhere so pure and authentic and REAL, it doesn’t need gloss or polish or glitter to shine."

"Happiness doesn't have to be chased...it merely has to be chosen."
