Accept Yourself
I have a Louise Hay day calendar (which I got for free for being a part of Hay House’s Book Nook), and I came home from Indiana to find that my husband put the page from Monday on our bathroom mirror. The affirmation says: I no longer wait to be perfect in order to love […]
Learn to Love Yourself
I started a new journal a couple of weeks ago. I’d been writing in my old one since June, and I finally filled it up. Starting new journals is always exciting for me, like a new beginning. And with this new beginning, I decided the main focus of this journal would be working on loving […]
Vulnerability BREAKDOWN
First, thank you all so much for your encouraging words yesterday. It took every ounce of strength I had to post that, and your supportive comments mean the world to me. So in the spirit of vulnerability and in honor of Brené Brown, I thought I’d write about what happened after I posted that yesterday. […]

Letting Go of Obstacles and CLAIMING My Good!
I’ve been trying to write this book for two years now, and my reason for it not happening has always been “I don’t have enough time.” It was my failsafe excuse that made me feel better about not pursuing my dreams. I wasn’t to blame…Lack of time was to blame. Well here I am […]
