Secrets of a Charmed Life

by Susan Meissner

I am not such a significant creature in God’s universe that it is my decisions alone that can change the destiny of another.

but if I know anything about time, it is that it stretches to walk with you when you grieve. The rest of the world may zoom past at breakneck speed, but when you are learning to live with loss, time slows to the pace of your breathing.

I understand there are no secrets to a charmed life. There is just the simple truth that you must forgive yourself for only being able to make your own choices, and no one else’s.”
