It's okay to honor those feelings that we do have and to recognize them and to label them." - Kari Schwear“You can see that they have decided that discipline equals freedom ..., but you can see it clearly that their decisions and their commitment to themselves is showing up in their behaviors." - Kari Schwear"So the key is everyday, and what I like to say is everyday effort equals expansion.
