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

When you experience peace of soul, with each breath you are present to the fact that this is a divine moment, a moment to shine like you have never shone before, a moment to hold the whole world in your hands with a gentle thought and a kind heart.

When we love all parts of ourselves, when we bless all of ourselves, when we honor all of our history and all of our insecurities, doubts, worries, and fears, we become the women that we always wanted to be.

We each need to become our own hero.

When we are aligned with our highest selves, we trust ourselves enough to follow our hearts. Then we are able to be straight and tell the truth about who we are, and what we want, even if it disappoints someone else. Are you being straight about who you are?

Challenge the person you think you are in order to unveil the person you are capable of becoming

Being present means being completely aware of all that is. It means you’re not in denial, you’re not pretending, and you’re not avoiding.
