Power flows through you effortlessly, easily, calmly.
How is that for an amazing thought for today?

Love love love.
Happy Valentine's Day, busy ladies. 

Happy Friday. Hope you're having a fabulous day and doing good things, just for you. 

Are you feeling the love? As busy women, it is so easy for us to put on our serious walking boots and trudge through whatever the day brings to get from the moment you wake up to when you can lay your head back down on the pillow. 

You are the force. Straight from Star Wars, that line is a bit hokey, but those words are powerful. 

As much as you try to live in the moment - be in the Christmas spirit - your mind may still race ahead to next year, to 2017, and those old fearful habits kick in: what will happen, how will you manage, will you ever find work, find love. That old drum beat starts and you are on the treadmill of fear, peddling faster and faster and faster....racing ahead, worried about things that may happen, watching a scary movie called the future in your head.

Peace. Peace inside of you, with you, filling you with calm and warmth. That's what I hope you feel this holiday season.

A year ago today I was laid off from a company that I loved. After years of dedication, in a matter of minutes, I was let go.

It is easy to love yourself when things are going well.....You can bask in your own glow because you are glowing. You can feel it and it feels good. 

Loving yourself - oh, that is the greatest challenge of all! Something that should be so easy, can be so hard for a million reasons, a thousand sad stories, a thousand outrages....

To love yourself, right now, just as you are -- yes, just as you are, right here right now, however flawed, however weak, however strong, however trying-as-hard-as-you-can, give yourself heaven, a moment of peace and kindness....give that to yourself, not once, not twice as a rare retreat, make it a habit. 

Do you believe that you -- and your happiness -- are worth fighting for? Do you believe you deserve your own consideration?

Do you ever feel like you're grasping at straws, trying to make sense of your life, wondering where you are going or how you're going to get where you think you want to go? The truth is that we're all doing that to different degrees, at different times.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, accept yourself, love yourself, be yourself.
I wish there was a magic potion that you could drink and you'd wake up and love yourself, accept yourself, celebrate yourself.
