Hope
If you only carry one thing throughout your entire life, let it be hope. Let it be hope that better things are always ahead. Let it be hope that you can get through even the toughest of times. Let it be hope that you are stronger than any challenge that comes your way. Let it be hope that you are exactly where you are meant to be right now, and that you are on the path to where you are meant to be… Because during these times, hope will be the very thing that carries you through.

Each deep breath out, removing the negative emotion from within you, and the following deep breath in, allows calm to be restored within you. Just breathing into the balloon, filling it so…

How To Love
If you pour a handful of salt into a cup of water, the water becomes undrinkable. But if you pour the salt into a river, people can continue to draw the water to cook, wash, and drink. The river is immense, and it has the capacity to receive, embrace, and transform. When our hearts are small, our understanding and compassion are limited, and we suffer.

Epiphany
A moment of sudden and great revelation or realization. My epiphany was this quote, found on a fridge magnet (no one said it had to be glamorous) in a bookstore in Miami. It’s been part of my philosophy ever since and became the foundation for my coaching and therapy business.
