Be brave. You didn't travel this far to languish within the walls of your comfortable self.

Have greater compassion and empathy for others, and don't judge anyone, because you have no idea what's going on in their life.

With each stride, I realize I'm not so emotionally overwhelmed anymore. A sense of purpose and fulfillment has replaced my feelings of helplessness.

Life is to BIG that I'm suddenly overcome by the highs and lows of it.

The real me: A woman who continues to blossom into her authentic self.

The woman who is my best friend, my teacher, my everything: Mom.

This journey has nourished my soul in a way I couldn't have imagined.

Guilt: it comes in so many subtle forms. It's carbon monoxide for the soul.

Nobody gets through life without facing challenges. What's important is how we handle them. Tough times can be excellent opportunities to grow and become a better person.

If only I lived in a perpetual state of awareness for the infinite daily blessings I'm given.

Perspective is so interesting. The smallest thing becomes pleasurable when troubles are monumental.
