Why do we wait for the beginning of the year to start a diet or healthier way of eating? Is it because we believe January 1st is the day we are worth becoming healthier and understanding our worth? You are worth doing everything that makes you feel good about yourself, there is no date on … Continue reading Understanding Your Worth
Learn From One Another
I read this on a site last week and apparently it stuck with me, but not in the way I believe it was meant to stick with me. It said, "Don't be the echo, be the voice." It went on to talk about being a leader and not a follower. This is how I feel … Continue reading Learn From One Another
Taking Time
I’ve taken a little over a month off from blogging like I used to. I had surgery on my vocal cord on April 1st and I’ve hit some highs and some definite lows while trying to adjust to my new voice along with my limitations.

We can lose at a game and say we have been defeated, but we can also say we … Continue reading Defeat or Success

Transformation is a Beautiful Thing

Validation
Sometimes we need validation. Sometimes we just need people to reach out, tell us everything is OK and sometimes we just need the reminder that we are loved and worthy. Validation is checking on yourself asking...."Are my feelings justifiable and are my actions worthwhile." Growing up without compliments did a number on me. Sadly, I … Continue reading Validation
Your Past Paves Your Future
Sometimes we just have to let go of our past. Our past will/can make us stronger. We all have scars that we carry around. These scars we carry are scars that are as individual as we are individualists. We all may hope and dream of the same thing, but because we are individuals, the outcome … Continue reading Your Past Paves Your Future
