Linda Porelle Coaching

Don’t hide love. If you feel it, express it—not to demand that others love you back, but simply to live outwardly the best of what you feel inwardly. The worst that can happen to your heart is not rejection by another person but failure to act on the love you feel.
- martha Beck

"No other person will ever walk the path that destiny has laid out for you, but along that path, you’ll come home to a thousand different places. You will meet your mother, your father, your twin, yourself, in a thousand different bodies. Even on the loneliest night, when it seems there is no one else on earth willing to travel such a strange and magical road, you will find your tribe out walking among the stars." Martha Beck

Resisting what we can’t control removes us from reality, rendering our emotions, circumstances and loved ones inaccessible. The result is a terrible emptiness, which we usually blame on our failure to get what we want. Actually, it comes from refusing to accept what we have.
Martha Beck

"You are lovable. Can you show me any baby in any nursery who isn't priceless? No. There's no such thing as a worthless newborn. And the essential value that was born into brand-new-baby you can never be extinguished. This means that even if you think you're being absolutely honest, believing yourself to be anything other than astonishing, incomparable, and infinitely precious makes you a habitual liar."
-- Martha Beck

"The only thing better than singing is more singing."
- Ella Fitzgerald
“Wayfinders of every culture sing their way into their true nature. Even better is playing an instrument, which often takes so much brain focus that words fall away. Today, when you have time alone in the car or the kitchen, sing your favorite song. If possible, put on a recording or the radio and sing along. Don't try to sound good. And don't hold back. Sing as if no one can hear you.”
- Martha Beck

"If you want to feel that you belong in the world, a family, or any relationship, you must tell your story. But if you want to see into the hearts of other beings, your first task is to hear their stories. Many people are gifted storytellers. Only the empathic are true storyhearers."
Martha Beck
