COMMUNICATE, APPRECIATE AND VALIDATE.

Last night I was inspired to write...again based on my own experience.  So much so, I spent the majority of the night flipping from side to side and struggling to find the cold spot on the pillow. So here I am up at 4am furiously typing with no thought of proper punctuation or grammar usage (clearly corrected by the time you read this). My words, “one more time,” as they came slipping off my tongue, passed my lips and into the ears of the listener, (hopefully listening) lingered so long in my brain that I became tormented. The words I [...]

How to Help Yourself by Helping Others

“No one has ever become poor by giving.”-Anne Frank Helping Others Have you ever been in a funk? Been so caught up in the depths of despair that you just can’t seem to crawl out? Don’t worry, I know many others that have been there. I know it’s hard, but you too can get out of this.  You can’t make the changes you want in your life if you have that negative attitude.

Lead with your heart, not your head. http://youtu.be/f5GStn9Ktgk The next time someone tells you to lead with your head and not your heart, don’t listen. My purpose on this planet has never been, nor will it ever be, to follow. I am a leader by nature and have always done so through my heart. Why?

For those of us that do in fact lead with our heart and were raised with a parent that said to you, “lead with your head, not your heart,” and you chose [...]

1 Wound Can be the Door to Love

The wound is the door to love That thing I consider to be the worst mistake of my life? That thing that I wish I could wake up and have gone? THAT is where my healing is. For me it's my lack of self-love and my beliefs around how I am not deserving. I’ve heard Geneen Roth say it so many times. She says “there is a crack in everything, that is how the light gets in”. (originally by Leonard Cohen) My cracks are my beliefs that I am no good. That I am not worthy. That I am unloveable as [...]

Love or Fear: Which will you choose?

What guides what we say and do? Love or Fear. These two opposing emotions help create our own realities and experiences. What we do and what we say is either from love or fear. Many of us react and act out of fear. Fear unfortunately holds us back from what we truly deserve in our lives: love. Many people I come across don’t know how to get past their fears and act from a place of love. I would even argue that many people are confused as to what love is. Love isn’t to be found, it’s to be shared. [...]
