Quotes from Julie Tallard Johnson

Sometimes our blessings are limited. There is a tangible poverty that surrounds us. We are not offered an obvious tapestry of choices. Still, even when the choices seem bleak between a tiger's teeth or deadly fall -- every moment offers up some third options (the true potentiality within the situation), and it is in our choices (conscious or not) that a future harvest depends.

There's nothing complicated or expensive about living purposefully and meaningfully. And we don't have to travel to some exotic place to "find ourselves," or to make a difference. The most effective practices that afford us the most happiness and meaning are done within the context of our daily lives. This is the premise of all my work – bringing our ideas and practices into our daily life. The place we make a real difference is within our own personal lives.

We can't change the past. But we will keep repeating it if we continue to live by the beliefs and agreements set in response to past events.
