“We are seeing healing among the stolen generations, and initiatives which are enabling
Indigenous people to make their distinctive contribution to our national life”. Malcolm Fraser
“Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.”
“Don't believe the dark whisperings that invite you to walk backward. At any time in your life,
you have the power to turn forward.” Anasazi Foundation
“Life cracks us into unrecognizable shards of former incarnations. Slivers of our hurt and our
pain and our shame nestles next to fragments of our truth, our divinity, our fierce reclamation of
power.
It is this very brokenness that allows us to knit together, kaleidoscope style. And we spin and
shift and turn to the light until we appear brilliant, lit from within. Suddenly we are revealed;
unexpected beauty born directly from brokenness.
We have to be willing to break in order to become.”
― Jeanette LeBlanc
