Engaging in activities that are positive and productive can benefit our wellness, sense of self-worth, and attitude. However, to force engagement, even in something healthy, and not also work on your pain, trauma, and darkness is fear-based. It tends to be more about hiding instead of healing.
Where Did I Go?
A re-introduction to me…
Self-Love
Giving of yourself to prove yourself. Compromising yourself to keep the peace. Settling because of fear, guilt, shame. Hiding your truth to not be rejected. Telling others you’re fine when you’re not. Creating a narrative about life being about surviving not thriving, scarcity not abundance, sacrifice not self-love.
Patience With Pain
This may seem counterintuitive. When we hurt, we just want it to end. This is not a suggestion for simplicity or easiness. Pain is a natural experience of life just as love is. Sit with it, but no need to be stuck in it. Lean into it, learn from it, and then leave it. Allow yourself to feel it. Allow yourself to mourn. Allow yourself to heal. Pain becomes what you make it. It can become an excruciating lesson or it can become debilitating suffering. The choice is always yours.
Don’t ask yourself, “How long will this pain last?” but instead, gently ask yourself, “What do I need in this moment to heal?”
Love Messages
You may be the one.
We are not truthful about our wants and needs. We force for the sake of maintaining. We label acts of obligated duty as forms of love. We give up and call it compromise. We hide in our own shadow and claim we are private. We seek confirmation that feels safe. We avoid honest reflection and conversations that feel threatening. We give power to our faults. We see our self-worth as secondary to pleasing others.

Love Messages
Sometimes circumstances give fear more power to influence. What feels real and true needs acceptance. Love is not manufactured. Love happens.
True Connection
Connection is natural. It’s effortless. It’s freeing and grounding. It brings two people together in ways that are next level. Connection is deeper than what you see. It’s a feeling in your soul, in your heart. No matter the circumstances, a true connection surrenders in joy.
Connection is not an unhealthy attachment. Unhealthy attachments are rooted in codependence, destructive yearning, or are forced, and are most often fear-based.
My Purpose Is Love
Achievement is often motivated by a reward. Possessions can become attachments. Attachment leads to suffering. Love is flow. Love is freeing. Love does not have a beginning or an ending. I am love.
Thrive From Vulnerability
Your life is there for you to create and live. Fall in love with the experience of your own breath. Allow your soul to be. Allow your heart to love and to receive love. Be grateful for what you have and be open to all you are worthy to receive...
Your Energy
Your energy can be a source of loving kindness and healing support. You can manifest peace. You can express love. You can be positive. This is not an attempt to ignore what ails each of us. It’s a way to ground each of us. To connect with our light to move through the darkness. We can overcome or be overcome.
Empathy
Let’s stimulate empathy. Let’s grow empathy. Let’s create opportunities for empathy. Let’s reward empathy. Let’s have the biggest empathy.
This may seem like a political statement, but it’s not. It’s from my heart. It’s from my soul.
Setting Intentions
Limiting beliefs yield a limited life. Your fear of failure/judgment tricks you into believing you can’t, you shouldn’t, you’re not enough, you’re not worthy. So, you settle for less than, for comfortable, for safe. There is no growth, but rather, the illusion of progress. Why? Because, “It’s better than nothing.” However, being consciously aware of abundance, endless possibilities, and infinite love can shift your mind’s mantra to, “I am worthy of my magnificence!”
Inner Truth
Instead of pretending everything is ok. Instead of presenting what others will accept. Instead of settling for anything less than who you are. Accept and express your truth. Practice self-love. Give yourself time, space, and attention for healing. Forgive yourself. Be aware of your worthiness in every moment.
We
We all have authentic needs. We all have authentic gifts to offer. We’re all here, right now. Let’s be here with and for each other.
Love Distraction
When you feel off, begin with this question. Discover. Forgive. Heal. Re-align.
A Beautiful Rise
An opportunity to be light. To be love. To be compassion. To be empathy.
Loving = Living
Going all in with loving is going all in with living.
We hide who we are. We limit our expression. Sometimes, we flat out lie about our feelings. So, we avoid or distract ourselves from ourselves with healthy behaviors like smiling or engage in healthy activities like work. We move from fear of being judged for who we are to reluctantly accepting love for who we are not.
A Love Explosion
Of all the things we are told to release, love must be freed. Not only is it a positive energy for all to experience, but as you release it, you create space for more of it. Love energy is powerful and gentle. Uplifting and grounding.
