A really fun video that will inspire you to be yourself
I just saw a video that pulled my heart strings because it spoke to two of my top values:
My love of animals
The fact that we need to be who we are rather than try to mold ourselves into what we “should” be, and that’s for our own happiness and because we’ll be much more successful [...]
Being grounded; why bother?
How many times have you heard the advice to “be more grounded”. It’s one of those motherhood statements that you agree with but don’t always remember to implement.
And if you don’t implement something it either means that you haven’t made it a priority or you don’t know how. That’s certainly been the case with me.
So [...]
Honoring our needs makes it easier on others
I just lived through a mini-example of that.

Haven’t you felt the pull of envy when you see someone who’s a resounding success doing what you’d love to do, or enjoys the kind of relationships you’ve always wished for?
It’s not just you; we’re all the same. And that’s one of the very common fears about [...]
Embrace your quirkiness!
Do we ever forget our early years and that pressure to fit in?
The penalties for being different were many: our life would be made darn uncomfortable if we stood out from our peers.
Even if you weren’t one of the “different” kids, you were a witness to what happened to them, and wouldn’t have traded places [...]
Why you need to take a second look at your level of confidence
Everyone agrees that it’s important to feel confident, both for success and your own happiness. But very few people do anything to feel more confident, unless they are sorely lacking in that area…and quite frankly even then.
I think it’s because we think there is little we can do about it; we either have it or [...]
