Self Doubt…
I meet so many people who are lacking confidence in certain areas of their lives. Yet, when we were children we didn’t doubt ourselves. We had huge dreams and desires. We were going to make our mark on the world. Then life started throwing us curveballs, shaking our belief in ourselves. I encourage you to rekindle the dreams of your youth. Move with purpose to your destiny. You can do anything you set your mind to…

Prison…
We can be as free as a bird, yet locked in a prison of our own making. Past regrets, fears and failures can hold people back from reaching their destiny…finding their true purpose. The best news? We hold the key to unlock our cell doors.

What To Say…
What do you say when you don’t know what to say?
Thursday evening, I received an email from a dear friend of mine. She was letting me know that her beautiful, bright 24 year old daughter had committed suicide in early July. I was stunned and extremely sad at the same time. You want to say something to take away the pain they are feeling, but there are no words. All I could say was that I would keep her and all of her family in my prayers, praying for peace and clarity. And that I was sending light and love to them.
There are no words in these situations. Just be there.

The Past and The Future…
“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending” –
C. S. Lewis
After my book was published, I heard from so many people who were mired in past hurts, trauma and lacking confidence. Our Creator didn’t create us to be average or mediocre. We are here for a greater purpose. Life will always be a struggle, no doubt. But I encourage you to find your purpose and live it. Bravely.
