Expectations
Our tears
Sometimes we become so focused on the face that we want the world to see we fail to recognize our own tears. – Mandy Ricks
Words
A lack of words can break a heart just as easily as the wrong words. – Mandy Ricks
How to learn
If we didn’t make mistakes we’d never know what else we need to learn. – Mandy Ricks
Love and monsters
All love shines in the sunlight but sometimes it creates monsters that hide in the dark. – Mandy Ricks
Good enough
Maybe now is a good time to get comfortable with good enough. – Mandy Ricks
Write from your heart
Write from your heart but edit from your mind.
Friends
A good friend knows all your stories. A best friend helped write them.
Stories

Storytellers
“Everyone has a story but only some of us are great storytellers.” Mandy Ricks
