When life takes us somewhere other than where we want to go we can dwell on the detour and disappointment, or we can use it to grow and learn. It really is all about the journey.

Our real power is knowing we have the capability to feel what we want to feel.

What masks are you hiding behind? Are you ready to take them off and be seen?

Choosing gratitude in trying times can shift our awareness from struggle to possibilities.

I believe most things that require courage come with fear. If you didn’t have fear you wouldn’t need courage to do or say what you wanted.

Getting wrapped up in feeling guilty doesn’t serve me or anyone else. It just keeps me in a cycle of not enough.

Forgiveness is a gift and a choice of freedom. How long will you put your life on hold waiting for someone or something to change or apologize?

Choosing love means not judging myself or anyone else. For me, that means letting go of how I think things should be or how people should act.

Will you be part of the problem or part of the solution? You can’t be both. I have a deep knowing that when we change the world changes.

Practicing empathy is a way to evolve into a more caring, loving world and give us the connection we long for.
