From speaking with my mother I learned that forgiveness is a process that begins with the choice to end your own suffering.

You set the standards for how you will be treated. People will treat you the exact way you treat yourself. So be good to you. Take time for yourself. Rest. Play. Shower yourself with affection, support, and gifts.

The goal isn't to be perfect, but to be authentic!

We all want to be liked, loved, or needed. That is fine. What is not fine is what we are willing to do to make sure we are liked, or loved or needed. When we make the needs and wants of others a priority in our lives, we devalue ourselves.

I'm focusing on healing lives and teaching people that they can heal - giving them tools to heal.

Trying to prove something to someone is never a valid reason for doing anything.

Every choice you make supersedes and overrides every other choice you make.
