Can you imagine, and perhaps you really can, what it is like to experience that first, heart-exploding realization that someone actually loves you completely? Loves you without boundaries or restraint, regardless of your brokenness, emotional issues, and the truckloads of psychological stuff you carry with you? It is addictive to say the least. Your… Continue reading This is Your Brain. This is Your Brain in Love.

Several years back, my first Christmas as a single mom with my closest family members nine hours away was difficult, to say the least. By the next year, with a bit of experience, my coping skills had improved. On Christmas day, I booked a room at a hotel in a wonderful touristy town close to us. We… Continue reading A Blue Christmas?
You should never feel as if you are insignificant and undeserving. Dream that dream. Set those goals before you. Because, why shouldn't you reach them? You, as much as anyone you admire, deserve the chance to do what your heart desires. Yep, sometimes it takes a long time. And it's really, really tough. But that… Continue reading Why NOT Me?
Without giving ourselves compassion, we can't be compassionate. When we judge ourselves harshly, we can't be accepting. If we feel that our lives lack, we can’t give generously. When we feel that we are not enough, we can't lift up and applaud others. When we take ourselves too seriously, we can’t enjoy life. If we don’t love… Continue reading We Can’t Give More Than What We Are
Today I read those words from Your Worthy Self and I wanted to stand up and cheer! For so many, many years, actually for decades, I lived my life trying to get everything right. Typical "People Pleaser" right here. The thing about living like that? It's exhausting. And depletes our joy. And we give… Continue reading Stop Trying To Get It Right

Valentine's can be a time that sends those of us whom are uncoupled (I just learned that word, convenient, huh?) into despondency and gloom. It kind of creates the Bah Humbug spirit in us when we see the hearts and flowers, the endless ads with couples looking adoringly into each other's eyes, even the little… Continue reading Yes I AM!!! (A Valentine to Myself)
You ARE amazing!! I finally began to believe that about myself after a few days of saying it out loud in front of the mirror. The year was 2008. For most of my life I'd felt "less-than" so it took a bit of making a firm choice and perseverance to follow this program. I'd… Continue reading YOU are Amazing!! And don’t you forget it!
