A Quote from Christine Breese:

“In the silence of your heart, you will find the truth. No one can tell you what is right for you better than you. You are gazillions of years old. You are wiser than you know. You are God dreaming, learning, and growing on a journey of self-exploration. You are a collector of experiences for Godself. It is all the same one living all these lives and having all these experiences. It is the same one in you, the same one in me, the same one in a blade of grass, experiencing creation from that particular point of view. How much more worthy can you get than that? You are the center of the universe from your point of view!”

“So awaken angel, and get back on mission. I am here to remind you of who you already know yourself to be, or at least encourage you on your path. Let go of the past and who you thought you were. Dream a good dream now. You are allowed! Take back your power from the places you lost it (fear, sadness, anger, loneliness) and be the creator being that you are. We have a world to change, and it first starts with each of us becoming that which we already are!”
