Sue Monk Kidd Love Quotations

It only meant that my natural inclination was to draw my "energy" from within instead of seeking it outside myself, plus my mom was an introvcert, and so were a lot of normal people. The problem was I was shy on top of that. And we all know how the world loves a shy introvert.

There's nothing like a song about lost love to remind you how everything precious can slip from the hinges where you've hung it so careful.

Whatever else you do, listen to your Deepest Self. Love Her and be true to Her, speak Her truth, always.

Nobody should go through life without falling in love.

Every little thing wants to be loved.

You forgive what you can, when you can. That's all you can do.To forgive does not mean overlooking the offense and pretending it never happened. Forgiveness means releasing our rage and our need to retaliate, no longer dwelling on the offense, the offender, and the suffering, and rising to a higher love. It is an act of letting go so that we ourselves can go on.

I felt amazed at the choosing one had to do, over and over a million times daily--choosing love, then choosing it again...how loving and being in love could be so different.

On weekends, I sit in a lounge chair on my balcony. I love to be outside when the weather's right. I can stay there pretty much all day.

I have an affinity for writing in the first person. I love the intimacy of being dropped inside the character.
