The strongest person in the room is not the one who has the biggest bank account. The strongest person in the room is not the one who has the grandest title. The strongest person in the room is not the one who loudly sings their own praises. The strongest person in the room is the one who has learned through Self-Love to have an open heart and is willing to quietly share that open heart with the weakest…..
The real test of a wise person is what they choose to do in the dark times. It takes a wise person to choose love when fear is all around. It takes a wise person to choose to see goodness when hatred is so visible. It takes a wise person to choose inclusiveness when bigotry is so popular. It takes a wise person to know that if they choose to dance with the darkness they will…..
My neighbor just put in a raised patio that can now see over my six-foot fence into my backyard. Needless to say, I was not thrilled when I first saw it. My backyard is my sanctuary, and now it is on full display. This recent development got me thinking about those small inconvenient changes that appear on our doorstep? We all know that life-altering changes such as death, or loss of home, or career can knock us down. But what…..
There’s a little piece of your HEART just waiting for you. While this piece may be small, its light is significant. It believed that this world was full of magic. It saw miracles happening all around it daily. Hope was its natural state believing anything was possible. You have a little piece of your HEART that believed that dreams could come true. The feeling of excitement was its compass. Never worrying about the destination, it knew the fun was in…..
When you are in the midst of CREATING A DREAM, it’s much like putting together a great party. You work for weeks on your guest list, the food, the drinks, and the decorations until the day finally arrives. Now all there is to do is wait for the guests and the party to start. But while waiting, IMPATIENCE sneaks in the back door. You figure it is just one more guest, so you ignore IMPATIENCE as he sits in the…..
When you reclaim your SELF-LOVE, you realize that you have been gifted with everything you will need for this life. One of those gifts is your HIGHER SELF. It often can feel like we are on a journey with no road map and no matter how hard we try we are unable to see the forest through the trees. But when you allow your Higher Self to be your guide a path begins to reveal itself. Because your…..
When I have dimmed my light for another, it did not add light to the other. When I have surrendered my light to fear, it did not make me safer. When I have denied my light to fit in, I never felt more alone. Then SELF-LOVE showed me a better way. When I have allowed my light to shine unimpeded, it always touched those that needed it. When…..
When you walk through the world with your past wounds driving the train, your only destination is surviving. When you pack your bags for your trip with all your grievances and anger, you have just bought a ticket to struggle. When you refuse to notice the beautiful landscape passing you by, you have already arrived at the end of the journey with nothing to show for it. But… When you take responsibility and heal your…..
When you begin the work of reclaiming SELF-LOVE, you naturally begin to understand how your world is created: IMAGINATION combined with EMOTION creates WORLDS. Do you use your gift of imagination to create more fear or more love? What kind of world are you creating? Do you imagine the worst-case scenario fueling it with dread and fear? Do you imagine that people are out to get you boosting it with hatred and distrust? Do you imagine never living your dreams feeding it…..
When your being is rooted in SELF-LOVE, you no longer look for others’ approval or confirmation of what is or is not possible. You trust yourself as the ultimate authority of what is possible for you. Many people spout limiting beliefs as if they are universal truths when in fact they are simply ideas whose validity have gone unchallenged. Beliefs can be like rocks tying you down or like balloons lifting you higher. …..
