Love is accepting your truest, most authentic expression of self, and allowing yourself to do the same with others.

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

Yoga is vital because it keeps me in full awareness and connection with my breath.

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.

My involvement is an extension of who I am as a person. I have found a sense of renewal and peace when I allow myself to be open to create, give, and fully participate in things that call me to respond from my core.

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