On this week’s podcast Jane and Wendy discuss three quotes that Wendy brought forward as the spring board for their conversation.

1. You can live your life out of circumstance or you can live your life out of vision.  
   ~ Werner Erhard
   
   
2. Pain pushes until the vision pulls.
   ~ Reverend Dr. Michael Beckwith 
   
   
3. Freedom is what you do with what’s been done to you.  
   ~ Jean-Paul Sartre

Each of these quotes centres around the idea of the push and the pull in life.  Jane and Wendy talk about how the discomfort and even pain of the push can lead to the greatest discovery.  

Wendy’s Takeaways

• The reminder that sharing our story, our journey, our pain and our response to it in the hopes of our growth, in the desire for our breakthrough is a double please.  Our experience and the ripple effects of that shared experience.

Jane’s Takeaways

• To be remembered as being available for someone. 
• That the pain in the push can lead to such growth

What is a love letter?
It is a letter, a text, a poem, a direct message, a drawing, a voice message, a watercolor, a recipe, a cup of tea, a smile, a home-baked meal delivered.  It's anything that connects us and makes us feel all those messy emotions, that wit
