Quotations
Believing that someone else can complete us is a dangerous belief. Only we can complete ourselves.
Knowing what your deal breakers are and holding to them is vital.
I’m a romantic, and I do believe we should listen to our hearts… to an extent.

One thing I wish I knew about love is probably that it’s not a fairytale. It’s hard work and sometimes you won’t see eye to eye on everything but as long as your hearts in the right place and you don’t give up when life isn’t perfect, than you’ll be ok.
This is so true! Thank you, Cira.
I wish someone had told me that all the love in the world, from a husband, from your children, from your friends won’t be enough if you don’t love yourself first.
YES!! YES! YES! That’s a monumental truth! Thank you, Rebecca.
Brilliant, comforting and so helpful! I agree on all your points and really can’t think of any additions…….you have summed it all up beautifully! I went through a tumultuous divorce in 2003 from the love of my life who descended into depression, alcoholism and drug use, compiled with an affair towards the last year or so of our marriage. It was a shock when I realized I knew nothing about our finances and he had been in charge and it was a mess. Thankfully I had a good job and wonderful, supportive friends and family to help me through. It’s so important that young women not rely on a man financially! Thank you for your amazing insights! ~ Connie
Wow, Connie, thank goodness you had the resources and support to right yourself. This one mistake drives so many women to financial ruin. I love it when I hear that it worked out. AND you are blessed to have left all of those things. Any one of them is a challenge, but all of them together is unimaginable. Thank you so much for sharing and reinforcing this point. I hope it helps someone avoid a catastrophe. Love, Cynthia
