The question is, ‘Which is worse, the pain of changing or the pain of not changing?'”
“I have a word every year – restoration. Restoration is taking the past and using it to propel me into the now.

I work so hard and am gone for long periods of time and when I come home, I feel much like people do the day after Christmas. I used to soothe my sadness with food and buying things. Now I allow myself to feel the emotions. I’ll take a nap or sit in a chair and look at photographs that make… no, help me, cry. I allow myself to be in nature.
