things we don't get to say

When it comes to strained relationships, the problem is that we think we have time or that someone else should go first. There are plenty of opportunities we miss to say what needs to be said — I'm sorry or Thank you.

But there's no reason to beat ourselves up over moments that have passed us. Vow to make better choices from this point forward. Forgiveness provides us with a fresh start and grants us a sense of lightness.

Let go of emotional burdens. Say what needs to be said to repair connections with people that matter, and do it with compassion, with a forgiving heart.

faith and fears

On any good day, your faith is stronger than your fears. It's imperative to understand that when the days aren't so good, fear has grown into a monster that intimidates its neighbors. Learn to defend yourself. Fight back. No matter how hard the struggle gets, do not give up — keep holding onto faith.

I learn about me from you.

Women, when they read my work: Awww, so cute/intense/deep/raw; I can totally relate!

Most men, when they read my work: Who was he?; What happened? 

It amuses me. Anyway, I love the feedback I receive. Keep it coming. Don't forget to follow me! :-)
