When I was a little girl, I said a prayer. I asked earnestly to never forget what it feels like to be a kid. I don’t know exactly what my thought process was at the time. (I was quite young.) But there was something I saw in the grown-ups around me that I KNEW I… Continue reading The Prayer

Faith, Intention, and Focus
Maybe you’ve heard it before, or a million times… “What you focus on expands.” So whatever you put your attention on the most, you will get more of that. What does that really mean to you?

Surrender 101
My toilet was clogged for FOUR DAYS. This was a bit of a crisis for me, since I have only one toilet in my now little place.

Since that was my truth, it didn’t… Continue reading The Day After

I would clean up my face and continue to apply makeup only to walk out of the bathroom and… Continue reading Crying: How It Sucks and Why I Highly Recommend It
Your Child Is ALREADY Good
I was walking to my car the other day and passed by a mother with her child of 2-3 years. They were sitting at a table finishing up what appeared to be their lunch. When I was a few yards away, the child quietly asked the mother for something, to go somewhere. The mother’s reply:… Continue reading Your Child Is ALREADY Good
