“There has to be a moment when you choose happiness, when you stand up, raise your face towards the sun, and just grab joy and put it in a place where no one can ever take it away from you.”
Kris Radish, The Shortest Distance Between Two Women

“Not going back is fine.
Not going back but occasionally visiting might be best.
Not going back but remembering so you don’t see the same view twice.
Not going back so you can turn a new page, write a new chapter, develop an entire new list.
Not going back so you can stretch and grow and see yourself in a light that you never knew existed.
Not going back so that you can fly. Fly. ”
Kris Radish, The Sunday List of Dreams

“Sisters-the ones we share last names with and the ones we choose-are the lining of every woman's soul.”
Kris Radish, The Shortest Distance Between Two Women
