YOU
ARE
SO MUCH MORE…

To the mistakes that made me
To the challenges that transformed me
To the experiences that stretched me
To the people who hurt me

To the struggles that overwhelmed me
To the heartbreak that shattered me
To the losses that saddened me
And to the pain that threatened to overpower me

Thank you for helping me to unlock my greatness
And blossom into a better version of me.

Personal growth — It happens more like a spiral
than a straight uphill climb.
We may have setbacks,
but we never go all the way back
to who we were
when we start our journey.

I like this. Even if your opinion falls on deaf ears, you may have planted a seed! 🤔

Yes. Planting the seeds is such an important job 💚🌱

“…feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we’re holding back. They teach us to perk up and lean in when we feel we’d rather collapse and back away. They’re like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where we’re stuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it’s with us wherever we are.”

Can you think of a time in your life when you weren’t energized by your circumstances? (Job, goals, friends. Etc?)
According to Dr. Campbell, this is a cue to check in with yourself and perhaps re-define what brings you joy.

Unconditional love....
There is nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it's sent away.... ~ Sarah Kay

Worth Reading from Off the Web!~

True words then (mid-last century!),
And true words still.

Spirituality, our sense of the Life Force, our moral code -
These are guiding lights, and it’s best if we choose our own, once we’ve grown.

Women, hear this. To move forward in claiming equality, we have to become our own best friend. Our own cheerleader. Our inalienable right to matter…

Worth onside ring... from the web!

We're here to learn from every experience we have and then use the teachings to grow, evolve, and become the greatest version of who we are.

So cultivate a loving, kind friendship with yourself so you know in all phases of your life what you need and what you deeply desire for your success and happiness my loves. 💕

There is such a thing as being too supportive, and it causes us to overextend ourselves and disrespect our time, feelings, and energy.

What Are Your Happiness Hacks?

Most people believe that the ‘Stages of Grief’ apply only to the death of a loved one, but this is far from true. It’s also a misnomer to think that the stages go in order, are progressive, or that you will ever actually be done. We grieve for lost dreams, for job changes, relationship changes. We even grieve for changes in life that we deem a good thing....

Life happens. It isn’t personal. There are no judgements. When you think something “should”, or when you think something “shouldn’t”, you argue with truth (and lose - only 100% of the time!) When we argue with reality, we suffer. “So, are you saying I should be ok about everything?” Oh sweetheart, only if you want to.

So true. Check every painful belief with personal evidence. You may be surprised!
