Self-love and Creativity

  My precious friend, Amy Marzluff, wrote these words after viewing my InstaGram post on Self-love. (She actually wrote them about me—blush.) I'll be writing about the selflovebeauty.com photo shoot soon, but here's the IG photo I posted. I believe what Amy wrote applies to each of us, since: 1) I truly believe that each… Continue reading Self-love and Creativity

Not just life after death, but life in abundance while living.   HE is the source of my joy, my life, my positive outlook, my passion, my love, my energy, my laughter, my caring, my creativity, and every other aspect of my blessed life.  … Continue reading Thank You, God!

Write Your Own Script, My Dear

So really. Why would you follow in the exact footprints of someone else? They do not have YOUR unique qualities, gifts, abilities, and desires, and you don't have theirs. Should you fashion your life after what other people say? Should you let what is important to them be what guides you? Perhaps to some degree, if they are… Continue reading Write Your Own Script, My Dear
