Family is supposed to be our safe haven. Very often, it's the place where we find the deepest heartache.

I realized it was happening, but most people didn't realize it was happening. I mean, because as a self-employed person, when there is a recession or a cutback in the economy, we feel it first. Because many self-employed people provide services that are nonessential.

One way to eliminate self negating thoughts and behavior is by gaining more understanding through realizing that you cannot force others to see that what you feel is real.

Have the courage to be exactly who you are without apology. Admit your mistakes without beating yourself up. Release all shame! Release all guilt! You cannot live if you are hiding behind what was. Focus on what is, right now, and that is you!

Respect you love one enough to know thay can handle your truth

When you can tell the story and it doesn't bring up any pain, you know it is healed.

A man who is not accountable to anyone is a danger to himself
