Sometimes all we can do is step back and surrender. Step aside and allow whatever is trying to unfold to appear the way it wants to. With "holidays" (I use that term loosely) like Valentine's Day approaching, it's easy to up our expectations. It's easy for us to dream up scenarios that we hope will [...]
Have you ever found yourself looking at what others have and wishing you had it? Have you ever felt like you didn't have it all because what you had was different than someone else? I'm not even going to continue because I know the answers to all of these questions are yes! Everyone has compared [...]
Why do we attack back when we're attacked? What honestly goes through our mind? Do we really think we're going to resolve anything by reacting so harshly in return? Truthfully, we're not thinking at all - at least not with our right-mind. We're thinking from our ego when we respond to anger with anger. Don't [...]
I took a long pause this morning and really embraced the now. Staying mindful of what is right now in the present moment is the key that unlocks an endless gratitude practice that nothing can shake. Gratitude unlocks more blessings. How can we expect more in our lives when we can't even appreciate what we have [...]

You can have compassion for someone without trying to figure everything out. You can try to understand another's point of view without fully knowing why they actually think what they think or did what they chose to do. When we just step back and allow people to be what they are, without our humanly assumptions, [...]
Your worth depends on nothing external. It's a value you apply to yourself. Think of it in comparison to money. If you had to apply a currency to yourself, what would it be? Be sure you weigh in your heart, your mind, your soul and your spirit. Don't forget your morals, values, kindness, intellect, wisdom [...]
what if you could say thank you no matter what? The very fact that you woke up this morning is proof that you still have a purpose here on Earth. You are needed, you are wanted and your light is required. Bad days will come and bad days will go - but they [...]
They say what you resist, persists. Take a moment right now and think of a situation or a relationship that generated some type of negative feelings within you. Now reflect on your thoughts and actions in response to those negative feelings. About 75% of you had a response of even more negative feelings while thinking [...]
