WISDOM TEACHER

"Sometimes a quote can hit me right in the gut and leave me speechless. In an instant, their words often articulate what I cannot put shape or words on. These are my wisdom teachers and I must choose to act upon what the gut punch has taught me or not. " - - Susan Christina Founder Hola Sober

β€œIn all my close friendships, words are the bricks I use to build bridges. To know someone I need to hear her, and to feel known, I need to be heard by her. The process of knowing and loving another person happens for me through conversation. I reveal something to help my friend understand me, she responds in a way that assures me she values my revelation, and then she adds something to help me understand her. This back-and-forth is repeated again and again as we go deeper into each other's hearts, minds, pasts, and dreams. Eventually, a friendship is built - a solid, sheltering structure that exists in the space between us - a space outside of ourselves that we can climb deep into. There is her, there is me, and then

there is our friendship - this bridge we've built together.” ― Glennon Doyle (One of my favourite wisdom teachers)
