Not everything that is faced can be changed.
But nothing can be changed until it is faced.

    Hi Linda,

    I like the part “nothing can be changed until it is faced”

    I like both lines. :)

    Sometimes it’s so much easier to hide but there’s always that terrible underlying feeling of guilt. And guilt being a such a wasteful emotion is better avoided don’t you think?

    Oh! and thanks for visiting me!

    Hi Linda,
    The photos are wonderful and your blog is a breath of fresh air - a loving look at a serious issue.

    Great quote - for anyone. Sometimes it’s hard to face our issues/concerns/opportunities - but if we don’t nothing changes. Easy to say, but not always easy to do.

    I love the quote. Until we bring something to consciousness we will never know to change it or make the effort.

    @Dr. Cason - Yes, I try not to “should” all over myself to keep the guilt to a minimum. Thanks for stopping by.

    @Ann - Thanks for the compliments and I will be visiting your blog, too! Love the title of it alone — it intrigues me!

    @Lance — I totally agree about easier said than done, but at least we’re trying our best. And even being aware that we’re “hiding” is a healthy start. Some people never even reach that point. Thanks for your comment. Will check out your blog, too.

    @Jennifer. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to add your insight. Look forward to visiting your blog as well.

    I’m so excited — this is the most comments I’ve had since I began blogging a few weeks ago! WOO HOO!!! Thank you all!
