Chronic pain or other challenges are invitations; gifts that challenge us to learn how to manage the mind.

It's amazing what eliminating energy drains can do to our mood. Remember how good you felt when you finally went through your closet and cleaned out the old clothes that you were sure you'd wear again someday?

Think BIG. There are unseen forces ready to support your dreams.

There are no coincidences. Every event we experience and every person we meet has intentionally been put in our path to help raise our level of consciousness .

If beating ourselves up worked, we would all be thin, rich, and happy, wouldn't we?

It may just be that a true wake-up call creates a true shift in consciousness. My wake-up call left me no choice. I had to make dramatic changes. Sometimes changes just happen within you, it is the way you approach things. Everything else stays the same.

We need the dark to appreciate the light. And the light always returns.
