perspective people important
Humor is about perspective, and hanging out with people who see life through a similar lens is so important.
people everyday overcoming
People who overcome their fears every day, without fanfare, without recognition. Quiet, everyday courage, that’s what I admire most.
want made can-do
No one can tell you who you are and what you are made of, only you yourself know what you are made of, and only you yourself can do the work to become who you want to be.
heart thinking compassion
Your body is not who you are. I don't think women should label themselves based on the way they look. What about defining yourself by a different kind of measurement? What about your heart, your soul, your compassion, your generosity, your strength and your power? There are so many other things to focus on besides your waistline.
pain
No one can take away your pain, so don't let anyone take away your happiness.
experts care
I don't have to be an expert. I just have to care.
healing journey life-journey
It's a life's journey of finding ourselves, finding our power, and living for yourself, not for everyone else.
wall mean thinking
Being fearless means busting down those walls of fear and being who you are, not who someone else thinks you are. People like to put others in a box and tell them what they can and cannot do or who they can and cannot be. No one can tell you who you are and what you are made of, only you yourself know what you are made of, and only you yourself can do the work to become who you want to be.
grateful self mad
There's so much that you can get mad about. Out of self-preservation, I focus on being grateful.
