“Rest is not for weaklings. Hollowing out space for rest is work. Finding time for rest is the hands and feet of the promises we long to claim. It means saying no.

It takes strength to walk away from good in the pursuit of better.”
― Saundra Dalton-Smith, Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity

“Just remember,” she says, “no one can take away from you what you’ve put in your mind.”
