INSPIRATION
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Marianne Williamson, from A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracle

Even people that have cheated often don’t know why they’ve done it. Interesting, […]
Knowing when to walk away
I often get asked, “Should I leave this relationship or continue to try to make it work?” It is very difficult to decide if and when it is time to leave. Some people are afraid of commitment, getting hurt, or risking being vulnerable. As a result, they are often quick to leave a relationship in […]
When you LOVE too much
When loving others means living in pain, then you love too much and the relationship has become a source of suffering. If you can relate to this, it’s important to look at various aspects. Are you the only one loving in this relationship? Is the other person feeling suffocated by your love? Is love what […]
Am I good enough?
I think we often feel like we’re falling short somewhere in life, like we could be doing more. There is that perpetual sense of guilt that most of us walk around with, that we don’t even realize. “Am I doing enough for my kids? Should I be doing more at work? Am I really giving […]
