Craig D. Lounsbrough
“Surrendering is intentionally laying down the power I possess. And have I considered that the power I lay down is often more powerful than that which I’m laying it down in front of? Therefore, I would be wise to recognize that surrender is less the absence of power and more the presence of fear.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

Emily  Williams
“The feeling of abandonment overwhelmed me as I realised that no one had waited, or cared where I was.”
Emily Williams, Letters to Eloise
