To remind you that you are beautiful, that you have worth, that you deserve the best that life and love have to offer.

She wanted to know more.
What did I mean about this power of yes? What was I talking about? She wasn’t the only one. I heard from many of you who asked the same question.
What was I talking about in my post "The Undeniable Power of Yes"?
So we’re going back. To answer that question for the rest of us.Continue Reading
I see so many of us striving so hard to become what we feel like we "should be".
Moving as fast as we can to get out of the now that we want to leave, that we’re in such a hurry to put behind us, to become who we want to be.
There’s such an important point that we miss as we go through this journey of life. This life isn’t about all those picture perfect moments that we can neatly photograph and post on Facebook for all our friends and family to see.
You’re not defined by an engagement, marriage, your career advances, the number of birthdays you've had or everything else our culture tells us we're defined by.Continue Reading
You’ve tried them all.
You go from place to place, looking, searching for the one thing that will be your magic answer. You search the world over for the one thing, the one person, the one magical formula that will finally make everything right in your world.
You may not know exactly what it is you need, but you think you might.
You think it’s found in the idea of the perfect man for you, or the idea of the perfect job or career for you, or the perfect location, or the perfect body, or the perfect house, or the perfect family, or whatever your particular perfect thing may be.
Except that you’ve tried so many things already, and nothing lasted for long. The feeling of everything finally being right in the world was temporary – fleeting – until it was no more.Continue Reading
Low self-esteem. We all know the term. It’s more than personal for most of us.
It’s been part of so many of our stories.
Our lives. Our journeys.
Most of us have been told the same thing about it for so long we don’t even question it anymore. Yes, I know I have low-self-esteem, you say. It’s because of this and this and this – our list is long.
We're usually talking about our upbringing, our backgrounds, our stories.
Except this time, I want to catch you before you go there. Because you’ve been there long enough.Continue Reading
When we’ve tried again and again and it still hasn’t worked, when we’re so tired of having to explain why it happened again to the same people we had told this time was different, it’s hard to feel passionate about anything.
And yet this is what love and life asks of us.
Are we sure? Is this what we really want?
There are few actions we can choose to take that will elicit the power of everything around us more than the power of saying “yes.”
Far too often we find ourselves saying “I guess so” or “maybe” out of fear, out of uncertainty or out of our need to know the end result first before diving in.
Our first reaction may be indignation or even anger at even the suggestion that we might not know what we want or be sure enough.Continue Reading
I know you get so many emails from so many people telling you what’s wrong, what you need, and why they’re the ones who can fix it for you.
I want to give you something different this holiday season.
We feelers feel a lot this time of year, and I want to acknowledge how much there is to feel.
No, it’s not you.
This time of year we cry more easily, we feel everything so much more deeply, we sense the nostalgia of the ones that got away and the ones we wished could have stayed.
We feel.
We hurt.
We grieve for a past that could have been different.Continue Reading
