There will always be mountains and valleys in our lives. We can't have one without the other. But it's up to us how high we will make those mountains and how steep we will make those valleys. We have a choice... Live with: Love, Compassion, Gratitude. Live to: Inspire, Empower, Embrace life. The more we practice that, the better we get at it...and then we recognize our essence and realize there is nothing to practice...it is who we are.
