We need to be smarter than our smart phones and realize the people we are with are more important than the people we aren't with, and way more important than the strangers we hope will tweet and like and share and Instagram whatever we're sending out into the cybersphere.
Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
It's scary to make major changes, but we usually have enough courage to take the next right step. One small step and then another. That's what it takes to raise a child, to get a degree, to write a book, to do whatever it is your heart desires.
