Quotes by Taj McCoy (?)

“Now take a moment to honor yourselves and this step forward in your practice. Let go of what didn’t work, where you struggled, where you weren’t perfect. Honor yourself, thank yourself, accept yourself where you are right now.” That last line struck a chord deep inside, and Savvy’s eyes welled with tears.”
― Taj McCoy, Savvy Sheldon Feels Good as Hell
