Today, someone wants to embrace you; someone is waiting to love you.

Oh, how quick and easily influenced we have become in relaxing our morals, values and ethics. Our subtle quests to pull down the old landmark that has nurtured us is detrimental. It is damaging - not only to us, but to our present generations and those to come. The benchmark was set in place to mold, guide and protect us - not to punish or to destroy us.

Be the heart that builds bridges - not walls.

Oh, new birth, where art thou! ? My heart awaits you. Come thou quickly, for my spirit threatens to fail me!

Being mentally enslaved is likened to being imprisoned by someone else's constant scrutiny.

Sometimes the journey is not meant for others to understand. Thus, they were never meant to take the trip with you.

To you, she may be nothing but a broken vessel; but that doesn't mean she's yours to fix.

A true friend is someone whose heart beats like yours.

The sting of a friend is like poison to the veins.

Trust your gut; don't question it: for it seldom ever lies. It sees truths beyond which you care to acknowledge. ~ Collette Y. Anderson Williams

You can't successfully start a new chapter of your life if you haven't finished the last. And although sometimes it's necessary to reflect on what has past, don't relive it; learn from it.

One of the biggest, most painful betrayals of trust is when friends and loved ones are silent about the hurts and pains they have knowledge of or have witnessed you going through. The abuse often renders the abused to lose his/her voice. If you care as much as you purport to, speak up for them. Call out the abuser. This will aid in the healing process. Let's break the cycle.

Success has an inner soul, and its greatest enemy is a distraction.

'True friendship that has been built on sound foundation is never threatened by distance.' ~ Collette Y. Anderson Williams

True friends cover you; they don't betray you. ~ Collette Y. Anderson Williams

Before you choose, consider or be certain it's worth it because life doesn't always lend itself to a redo. And not everything can be mended. ~ Collette Y. Anderson Williams

Trust is not a piece of cloth that can be easily mended. ~ Collette Y. Anderson Williams

The betrayal of a trusted friendship is a powerful lesson in forgiveness; and that storm teaches you to dance in the rain. ~ Collette Y. Anderson Williams
