I keep a gratitude log, which helps to remind me of all the blessings I experience daily.

I love to paint. It's more of a hobby, but people love the paintings so much that I end up selling whatever I paint.

Forgiveness isn't simply an option or a good idea; it is mandatory for our restorative process.

I need the sun, sand and ocean to rejuvenate my spirit, the food to enliven my body and all of the familiar places, friends and family to revitalize my soul. I go for replenishment. For a kind of love that I truly know. For a place of belonging, always.

I have a spiritual practice which helps to keep me grounded and centered.

Be gentle with everyone you meet; we all have experienced pain, hurt, anger, and rejection. Be kind to everyone's spirit; you have no idea what healing your light can afford.

If necessary, I cry. I pray. I rest. I'm fortunate to have quite a few strong, independent, loving, and unbiased women in my life that I can talk things through with.
