The most important thing in communication is hearing what is... - Shannon L. Alder

"The most confused you will ever get is when you try to convince your heart and spirit of something your mind knows is a lie."

"Never give up on someone with a mental illness. When "I"is replaced by "We", illness becomes wellness."

"After every storm, there is a rainbow. If you have eyes, you will find it. If you have wisdom, you will create it. If you have love for yourself and others, you won’t need it."

"The wise do not buy into other people’s perceptions of who they are and what they are capable of. Instead, they bypass a person’s public persona and see who they are in their highest expression. When you see actions taken with integrity, instead of words only, you will then know a soul’s worth."

"God is going to send you someone that will rescue you. Then one day you will rescue them in return and together your story will rescue others. He has always been a God of rescues and a maker of warrior’s for his grace. You only need to believe that you are part of something greater than you know."
