    The Stories We Tell Ourselves

    November 14, 2017

    Chances are, some of you reading this feel the pull of loneliness. I believe all of us feel it at one time or another.

    Up Until Now...

    August 7, 2017

    Self-limiting beliefs are just that: things that we believe about ourselves based on past experience or conditioning. These beliefs are so "true" to us that we never even think to examine their truthiness.

    Summoning Your Inner Child 

    July 24, 2017

    Gift Wrap

    June 20, 2017

    The Magic Moment

    June 5, 2017

    As I felt my face kissed by the sun and my hair lifted by the breeze, my thoughts wandered to my entry on the Courage Wall: I wish I had the courage to believe I am enough.
