Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Ashley Davis Bush

"Death doesn't end the relationship, it simply forges a new type of relationship - one based not on physical presense but on memory, spirit, and love...." from the book Transcending Loss: Understanding the Lifelong Impact of Grief and How to Make it Meaningful

"Sometimes, life can feel relentless. But Shortcuts that are triggered throughout our day help us to access the well of inner peace that already exists within us. If we do lose our cool, using these tools will interrupt the spin cycle of stressful thoughts so we can get back on track. Over time, as we intentionally redirect our responses to stress, the neural pathways in our brains actually change, "wiring" us for new, more peaceful responses to life." From the book Shortcuts to Inner Peace: 70 Simple Paths to Everyday Serenity
