Releasing Fear

Beyond the Smile

If you had met me 20 years ago, you would have met someone who looked a lot like me now. Joyful. Optimistic. Focused on the good. I’ve always been someone who looked for rainbows in the rain and silver linings in the storm. I saw life as beautiful, and I still do. What I didn’t …

Facing the Don’t Wants

Halfway There

Despite the Odds

Start Small

When people talk about change, it can feel overwhelming. We often think we must take massive leaps or have everything figured out before we begin.

Stop It!

Will you do me a favor? Please, stop it! What do you ask? Stop being so hard on yourself. Stop believing you are unworthy of living a life that you love. Stop giving your doubts and fears center stage and all of your attention. Stop thinking it’s too late to do something differently to live …
