A childish soul not inoculated with compulsory prayer is a soul open to any religious infection.
Nothing on earth hurts my soul deeper than conditional love.
Pause. Listen for the whispers of your Soul. Soul quietly flows through every part of you.
For I wondered that others, subject to death, did live, since he whom I loved, as if he should never die, was dead; and I wondered yet more that myself, who was to him a second self, could live, he being dead. Well said one of his friend, "Thou half ...

One thing I know for sure about raising children is that every single day a kid needs discipline.... But also every single day a kid needs a break.

An amazing thing happens when you stop seeking approval and validation: You find it. People are naturally drawn like magnets to those who know who they are and cannot be shaken!
