Favorite Quote: "We can make our own normal. We can throw out all the rules and write down our own. We can build our lives from the inside out. We can stop asking what the world wants from us and instead ask ourselves what we want from the world. We can stop looking at what's in front of us long enough to discover what's inside of us. We can remember and unleash the life-changing, relationship changing, world changing power of our own imagination. It might take us a lifetime. Luckily, a lifetime is exactly how long we have." Glennon Doyle, Untamed
