“Life is not a sedentary event, nor is it linear as we were taught to believe.

Instead, it is a spiral – ever changing and evolving. You are part of that spiral: always evolving and ever changing. The past was necessary, the present is paramount, the future unknown, but at your hands and heart for creation. You deserve to heal, to love and live the life you were called to live”

— Dana Damara
