Finding your YOU that leads to TWO
The Inspiration category contains posts intended to inspire you to be your best in both love and in life. To remind you that you are beautiful, that you have worth, that you deserve the best that life and love have to offer. The Inspiration category also includes a collection of various poems, stories, etc. that have given me inspiration over the years that I'm now sharing with you.
Remember last January? 2020 was supposed to be your year.
The year that would be different.
The year that was supposed to give way to your dreams, your plans.
It was supposed to be the year you met him, or the year you finally left him, or the year you went back to school, the year you got that promotion, the year you quit your job, the year you stood up to him, the year you stopped letting what everyone thinks of you control so much of your life.Continue Reading
I’ve gotten to know so many of you this year. Some for the first time, and others much more deeply than I had before.
Your stories, your heartbreaks, your dreams, your hopes, your plans – and the realities of this year that brought so many of them to an abrupt halt.
It’s been such an honor to share in your lives!
If it wasn’t exactly the year you wanted to have, with yet another chapter of your life closing with the same now familiar ending - another year alone - I hope my message today resonates with you.Continue Reading
You've been telling me how heavy it all feels.
I hear you. I see you. And I'm here to tell you why and how to make it light again. Or maybe light for the first time in your life.
No, it's not just you. It's all of us.
We’ve learned to keep it all inside. That’s why we feel so heavy, so weighed down. We’ve always had to keep it all inside.
They taught us we couldn’t trust our feelings. We felt so much that it wasn’t a stretch to believe that we couldn't trust ourselves.
Unless we were pleasing.Continue Reading
All those things you think you should have done differently, everything you think would have made all the difference in the world, the truth is it wouldn't have changed a thing.
Because if someone has such impossible expectations of you to expect that you are only worthy if you are perfect, then believe me, you don't want any part of them!
You've tried being everything to all people and especially his kind of people.
Where has it gotten you? Has it brought you any closer to the kind of love you yearn for?
Or has it only brought you more pain, more hurt, more trying to measure up to someone else's standards who, for all their potential in the world, likely has no clue about love?Continue Reading
Yes, it's scary.
Uncertainty. Fear. The Unknown.
There's been an overwhelming theme to all my calls with so many of you this week, and it's a reminder that we're all connected, feeling similar things regardless of where we find ourselves in this world of ours.
Thing have changed with the reality of Covid, the US elections that have brought up so many more feelings for all of us, and yet in the midst of all of what we're feeling and experiencing, life still must somehow go on.
But how?Continue Reading
If last night was another night you couldn't sleep because of something you said or did that you can't let go of (because of how messed up everything became after the fact), it's time you had some grace and compassion and understanding for you.
Yes, you.
See, you have it for everyone else. You go out of your way to excuse and understand and see the best in and give everyone else you're invested in, the benefit of the doubt. But for you, it's a different story.
There's no compassion or grace in the way you look at your imperfections. There's only judgement and disdain for how you look upon what you should have known better and should have done differently instead of what you did.
So when he called you out on the very thing you were trying to prevent, when he turned it on you because you were trying so hard to be perfect you forgot you were human, too, it only added insult to injury on how you were already feeling about yourself.
Let it go.Continue Reading
