We start to feel not good enough and we withdraw our hearts energy and sensor our authentic expression, and that hurts!

I'm not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.

I draw strength from spirit, from the divine light. I draw strength from the love my sister and I have for each other, from my nieces, Christina and Isabella, and the true friendships I have in my life that are based in being real with each other and mutual love and support.

The world can only seem a safe place when we feel safe inside.

We are not alone and we all have ample creativity within us if we just trust it.

We all have something that centers us in our lives. That linchpin is something that when we don't do enough of it, we start to feel off center.

My greatest life lesson has been to not wait for the opportunities to come to me. I realize how important it is to be proactive and to create the opportunities myself.
