Let love blossom into its fullness. And you will blossom into yours.… More
You matter …
Before we settle for good enough, or a passing grade, let’s remember that love is pure. It’s beyond a grade. Whether we make the bed, dinner, or a life, let’s do it like it matters. It does!
It reflects how much we think WE matter! Let’s live life immersed in love, beaming with love! It’s who we are; it’s what we’re made of. And it matters! … More
Truth …
Don’t run from the truth. Let it free you from the haunt.… More
Dear Friends … Practice knowing you’re enough
We are enough! And sometimes we feel it. We know it! And even when we don’t, we can practice. How?
We can do what we do when we feel our power. We can smile. We can pay somebody else a compliment. We can plan a day trip. We can call a friend.
There are things we do when we feel the certainty and the surprises that love fuels. And we can practice those, just as we practice breathing when we want to relax, but don’f feel relaxed.

Try on his interests and enjoy the aspects that you can appreciate. You’ll learn more about what speaks to him, pleases him, energizes him, and relaxes him. You’ll understand him better, which makes it easier to love and accept him.
If you’re thinking, “Yeah right, like he’s going to take me jogging,” ask yourself why he wouldn’t. Maybe he assumes you’re not inclined to jog, because you have assumed you’re not. Why?
Then, think about what you would absolutely love to do and invite him to join you. If he declines, you can suggest an alternative, or do it without him. He might surprise you by accepting your invitation … and posing his own. If you want an invitation, don’t nag or complain; just give him one! Stay in touch with what nurtures you — physically, mentally, or spiritually — and share it.… More
