You Do You

Always, always, always
feel free to be you.

Lean into Joy

We can’t be afraid to feel joy, to experience the abandon that comes with letting yourself be happy.
Things may not always be joyful, but instead of worrying about when they stop, what if we enjoy it while it’s here?

Thank you, Brene Brown for this wisdom in your book Daring Greatly.

Courage is Contagious

When you practice being brave,
you inspire others to be brave too.

Keep Getting Better

How’s this for a resolution?
As long as my journey is filled with self compassion and baby steps,
I can always meet the goal.

Hold Life Lightly

Sometimes we try to grip too tightly…
control, plan, require – filled with utter seriousness.
That usually just backfires, doesn’t it?

Think THEN Speak

Oh, if only I could count on my brain to engage every time
BEFORE words come out of my mouth

Forgive Your Children

When we think of forgiving in our families,
it’s not just parents that cause hurts.
Sometimes it’s children that create resentments inside.
Let go of that hurt to to step forward in peace.

Better Days Ahead

The sun settles into shorter days, raging winds become breezes,
as we each personally shift and grow
with each new challenge in life,
may we all have better days ahead my friends.
