Many of us are frightened to look within ourselves, and fear has us put up walls so thick we no longer remember who we really are.

It isn't what happens to us in life that creates our joy, but rather how we respond to what happens in our lives.

The greatest act of courage is to be and to ownall of who you are - without apology, without excuses, without masks to cover the truth of who you are.

Taking back our light from those we’ve projected it onto opens the door to an unimaginable future.

All of our suffering in life is from saying we want one thing and doing another.

To get past your ego and its defenses you need to get quiet, be brave, and listen to your inner voices....When you embrace the messages of each aspect of your shadow, you begin to take back the power you’ve given to others and form a bond of trust with your authentic self. The voices of your unembraced qualities, when allowed into your consciousness, will bring you back into balance and harmony with your natural rhythms.

Once befriended, our shadow becomes a divine map that-when properly read and followed-reconn ects us to the life we were meant to live, the people we were meant to be, and the contributions we were meant to give.
