Favorite Quote:
“It is trust in the limits of the self that makes us open. And it is trust in the gifts of others that makes us. We come to realize that we don’t have to do everything that we can’t do. Everything that what I can’t do is someone else’s gift and responsibility. My limitations make space for the gifts of other people.” — Sister Joan Chittister
Quote from interview:
“We put extra pressure on ourselves to have to do everything, to want to do everything. And if we can take that step back and realize, let me focus on what’s truly essential in my life. And then to develop that gift and share it with the world and then allow.”
