You and I, however, have the power to change it for the better. Yes, I know that this feels like a stretch, but it is still the truth. I am well aware that many terrible things are happening. Aware doesn’t even begin to cover it. Spend a minute scrolling through Facebook or Twitter or

They belong only to those who are wielding them, and will only continue to exist as long as people accept their own lack of them. Yes, when we go to the voting booth, we are choosing people to “represent” us. Some take that responsibility to

This is not an act of selfishness. I repeat, THIS IS NOT SELFISH. Self-awareness and self-care are all-too-often taken for granted, or outright ignored. But not caring for ourselves or being aware of our thoughts, feelings, and actions disempowers our ability to create. When

Life is lived in the greys and colors between the black and white of the extremes. Society wants us to use these extremes because they appear easy to relate to.

I do not like to wait, in particular when it comes to anything I deeply desire. Time may be an illusion, but that doesn’t mean that you can go completely without patience. Impatience comes particularly easily to our society, too. Our quick-fix, instant-gratification society simply has no

Too many of us get caught up in the world around us, and as such tend to neglect ourselves. We are concerned for our coworkers, friends, family, and loved ones long before we are concerned for ourselves. The irony of this is that when you are good to yourself, you are more capable of being

As Marianne Williamson posits in her work Our Deepest Fear, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” In a later paragraph, she writes, “Your playing small / Does not serve the world.” Her concluding paragraph begins, “And as we let our own light shine, We unconsciously give other

You are the one and only you that there is, and I am here to tell you that this is a great thing. Yes, you are amazing, and what you bring to the Universe are your unique, incredible gifts, and the youness that is
