My Healing Cottage
"A Sacred Place to Reflect and be Revitalized"


I have come to the frightening
conclusion
that I am the decisive element.
It is my personal approach that
creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
I possess
tremendous power to make life miserable
or joyous.
I can be a tool of
torture
or an instrument of inspiration;
I can humiliate or humor,
hurt
or heal.
In all situations, it is my response that decides
whether a
crisis is escalated or de-escalated,
and a person is humanized or
de-humanized.
If we treat people as they are, we make them worse.
If we
treat people as they’re called to be,
we help them become
what they are
capable of becoming.
~ Johan Wolfgang von Goethe
