Festering, bubbling, brewing… begging to be released. No! Burry it deep. Don’t think it. Talk about it. Acknoledge it. It isn’t real. It isn’t happening. No. Not me. Not my life. What will they say. It will be so hard. They are so crewl. They won’t understand. But… it’s festering. Yearning to be free. Screaming…
I am going to ask you to do the unthinkable… critique your body from head to toe. Inside and Out. This is good. I promise. Let’s go… The Inside: The goal of this exercise is to identify your best inner qualities and attributes. Dig deep and think about who you are. Toot your own horn!…
No one is perfect. Not even the models on the pages of our favorite magazines. And yes to make it worse they are air brushed to look SIZES smaller than they are. Basically they are made to look perfect and flawless. And they are not. We all have things about ourselves that we would change,…
I just want to be happy. Everyone says so easily, with such lightness. Happy is a choice. It is a state of mind. It is a way of life. It is easier said then done. It is the stillest peace of mind. A place of free. True happy is the embodiment of the ultimate…
As the water drapes down my skin. Washing away the… hurt, fear, and pain. Exfoliating the hurt. Cleaning the wounds. Clearing the imperfections. Hot enough to sanitize. Long enough to mask my tears. Bringing nourishment to my soul. Connection to inner. Sparks of ideas ignited. Seeds of intent planted. I linger as long as the…

Patience doesn’t come easily to me, it’s also something I have to work on every day. I practice patience by trying to loosen my grip on the notion that I need to control everything, surrendering to the journey and remembering that the rules and timing of the universe are not mine to define. I have learned…
I was terrified of the future, of what my life was going to look like. Would I be able to do it alone? I wanted to know what the next step was, that what I was doing was going to work. I wanted assurance that I was going to be okay, but that’s not something…
Each and every one of us is on a specific path. We have a mission to accomplish while we’re here and we are all here for a reason. What I have realized on my path is that the journey IS life – the memories, the good-old days – we are living them now. I have come to…
I always thought that I was a thankful person but going through this process of self-discovery made me realize that, although I said thank you all the time, I was not truly thankful for what I had in my life. I contributed to the society of more, more, more. The latest, the greatest, the upgraded….
Strength and courage go together because when you have strength you gain courage and when you are courageous you become stronger. I am a person with inner strength. When I know what I want I go out and I get it. But when I was weak, so was my strength and courage. As my inner truth was…
